Mga Balita sa Tondo Manila

Imagine your favorite food on a stick? the barbeque! Those succulent pork cooked over charcoal and full of greasy fat.  How about the pork adobo? The smell of vinegar and soy sauce cooked to perfection. Anyways, there was an Ebola scare in metro manila that a pig worker in one of the two quarantined farms in Bulacan and Pangasinan has been tested positive for antibodies of the Ebola Reston virus.

Health Secretary Francisco Duque III dropped by the Pritil public market in Tondo, Manila the other day to assure buyers that it was still safe to eat pork as long as the meat had been properly handled and thoroughly cooked before it is served.

Duque immediately played down implications of the first pig-to-human transmission of the virus. He said the pig handler, who was not identified, had been infected more than six months ago but remains healthy, claiming he has had no serious illness in the past 12 months.

The Department of Agriculture, meanwhile, has advised the public to buy its meat only from National Meat Inspection Services (NMIS)-certified sources to ensure that the pork came from healthy pigs.

A team of international health experts arrived in the country earlier this month to work with local experts to contain the spread of the particular strain of Ebola virus found in some dead pigs.

It was the first time the Ebola Reston virus had been detected in pigs, although the specific Ebola strain had been found before in monkeys in the country.

Ebola virus can be trasmitted through contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of an infected animal or person.
The Ebola Reston virus is reportedly a milder strain unlike the Zaïre, Sudan and Bundibugyo strains associated with the deadly Ebola hemorrhagic fever outbreaks in Africa.

Habang natutulog ang isang sidewalk vendor sa walang patumanggang sinaksak ito hanggang mamatay. Hindi mabilang ang saksak na natamo ng nasawi noong sinugod sa ospital ng Jose Reyes Memorial Medical Center.

eto ang ulat mula sa isang tanyag na source;
Eduardo Laviña, of Manuguit, Tondo, was declared dead on arrival from multiple stab wounds in the body.

Ayon sa  report na ginawa ng Manila Police District homicide section ang krimen ay naganap bandang 2:00 a.m. on a sidewalk fronting a house at 1512 C.M. Recto Street in Sta. Cruz.

Homicide investigators said that before the incident, Laviña was sleeping on the sidewalk when, a witness claimed, a certain Joel Trinidad, a member of the Bahala na Gang, approached him.

Without any provocation, Trinidad pulled out a knife and allegedly stabbed Laviña several times and then fled the scene. Bystanders brought the bloodied victim to the nearest hospital in an attempt to save him but the effort proved futile.

MPD operatives have launched a hunt for Trinidad, who investigators said could have been motivated by an old grudge to murder the victim.
