96. • An article appeared last month in the Journal of the Philippine Medical
Association. The article concerns the dangers of hot dogs.
• "If you were trying to design something that would be perfect to block a child’s
airway, it would be a bite-size piece of hot dog," says Dr. Jennifer Santos,
author and pediatrician at Philippine Children’s Hospital. She concluded that
children under 4 should "never be given a whole hot dog to eat," and that hot
dogs should never be cut crosswise. The hot dogs are so dangerous that every
five days, it is estimated, someone, somewhere in the United States, chokes to
death on them. Other risky foods for young kids up to 9 years of age include:
candy, nuts, grapes, apples, carrots and popcorn.
• Three year old male rushed to the hospital
• Blocked airway because of ingestion of hotdog
• Safely taken out
• “Matakaw po kasi siya talaga sa hotdog dahil paborito niya”: Mother
• “Sisiguruhin naming maturuan siya na pirasuhin ng maliliit ang pagkaing
isusubo sa bibig” : Father
97. 1.The family of Kristine Villanueva, a teacher of Vicente
Malapitan SHS, was grief-stricken. She was 51 years old and
died of a heart attack last week. She left a husband and four
children. She taught for 20 years in the school and was the
PE teacher for both grade 11 and 12 before her sudden
demise. Because her death was so sudden and unexpected,
an autopsy had to be performed before the funeral last
Saturday. It was a big funeral, costing more than 50,000 PhP.
More than 100 friends and relatives were in attendance.
Today, the family received an apologetic call from the town’s
medical examiner. Mrs. Villanueva body is still in the morgue.
The body they buried was that of a woman whose corpse had
been unclaimed for a month. The error was discovered after
the medical examiner’s office realized the month-old corpse
had disappeared. Someone probably misread an identifying
tag, they said. Also, the family never viewed the remains,
they kept the casket closed throughout the proceedings. A
relative said, "We went through all the pain and everything,
all over the wrong body, and now we have to go through it
again.“ Funeral will be held at the same venue, at St.
Benedict’s Funeral Homes starting December 6, 2022.
98. • Several English teachers at your citys junior and senior high
schools require their students to read the controversial book,
"The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." The book was written by
Mark Twain. Critics, including some parents, said last week that
the book should be banned from all schools in the city because it
is racist. After considering their complaints and discussing them
with his staff, the superintendent of schools, Mr. Gary Valenciano,
announced today that teachers will be allowed to require reading
the book in high school English classes but not in any junior high
school classes. Furthermore, the superintendent said that it will
be the responsibility of the high school teachers who assign the
book to assist students in understanding the historical setting of
the book, the characters being depicted and the social context,
including the prejudices which existed at the time depicted in the
book. Although the book can no longer be used in any junior
high school classes, the school superintendent said it will remain
available in junior and senior high school libraries for students
who want to read it voluntarily. The book describes the
adventures of runaway Huck Finn and a fugitive slave named Jim
as they float on a raft down the Mississippi River.
