At least 65 teachers and students of the Assumption University based in San Fernando, Pampanga had been possibly food poisoned by the fish fillet and chicken curry they recently ate for dinner at the La Carmela Resort here.

This was revealed as the result of the investigation released by the sanitary office of Malay, Aklan.

The said faculty and students were on a field trip in this resort island since last week.

The victims complained of having chest pains and vomiting Saturday night.

Local sanitation officials said that although the management of the La Carmela Resort has paid all the medical expenses of the victims they are still conducting a deeper probe in the said incident. They said they do not want similar things to happen in this resort island.

Among those being investigated are the cooks of the said hotel including the source of ingredients used in the preparation of the said meals.
