LEGAZPI CITY — At least two children died while four other family members were in critical condition after eating fish locally known as “Bagoy-Bagoy” or “Talamusak” for lunch on Black Saturday in Sta. Elena town in Camarines Norte, a police official reported Tuesday.
The victims, 11-year-old Emalyn Lladones and 12-year-old Ismael Lladones , children of a fish vendor were pronounced dead on arrival at the Rosary Virgin Mary Hospital in Camarines Norte, said Police Insp Marlyn Abah.
Rushed to St. Peter’s Hospital were Elmer Lladones, 44, head of the family; Mary Jane, 40; and children Erlinda, three years old; and Emil, nine years old, all of Sta. Elena village, Camarines Norte.
Initial investigation showed that the Lladones family was having their lunch at around 11:30 a.m., when they felt dizziness, stomach aches and later vomited after eating the “Talamusak” fish brought by their father.
The family believed that they were poisoned by the fish they have eaten while the victims are now under observation.
Local health authorities are trying to determine the cause of the incident.
