Excerpt
The Department of Health (DoH) yesterday waned the public against eating shellfish collected in the coastal areas of Honda Bay in Palawan, Dumanquillas Bay in Zamboanga del Sur; Matarinao Bay in Eastern Samar; Murcielagos Bay in Zamboanga del Norte and Misamis Occidental, and Sorsogon Bay in Sorsogon due to the presence of toxins that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning or red tide. The DoH based its warning on the laboratory report of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) that confirmed the presence of toxins that could lead to paralytic shellfish poisoning.
