January 27, 2008 – 4:16 pm

Some 27 senior high-school students from a popular university in Mandaluyong City were, according to this story, rushed to the hospital late Friday evening after vomiting profusely and experiencing severe stomach pains, a few minutes after taking food from the private caterer who served the rations for their Senior’s Night. Two others—a school adviser and a propsman—also fell victim to food poisoning.
The students, all from the Jose Rizal University, were rushed to different hospitals after experiencing dizziness and severe stomach pains after eating pasta.
