The Iloilo Provincial Health Office has urged the public to temporarily avoid buying and consuming aloy, or tulingan, after 20 foodborne illness cases were linked to its consumption. The advisory was issued as health officials continue tracing the source of the cases and implementing response measures. “While the investigation is ongoing and response measures are being implemented, we are asking the public to temporarily refrain from buying and consuming aloy or tulingan, as these may have come from the same batch that caused symptoms among patients,” said Dr. Rodney Labis, head of the IPHO Health Service Delivery Division, in a statement issued Tuesday, April 8.
