“Rest assured that we are working closely with the IPHO through our RESU to provide the necessary assistance in the affected barangay,” Valencia said “The first death had watery stools, abdominal pain and vomiting and was brought to RHU Tanay but was already declared dead on arrival. The same symptoms were observed in five other patients from Barangay Lumutan General Nakar in the previous consultation in RHU Tanay” said Regional Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit Head John Bobbie M.
