Suzaine Dagohoy, the woman who died after drinking poisoned milk tea in Manila, has been laid to rest.Dagohoy, 28, was buried in a public cemetery in Sta. Cruz, Zambales Saturday morning. A necrological service was held in the barangay hall of Biay, where she formerly served as kagawad.
Dagohoy died after consuming milk tea from Ergo Cha in Sampaloc last April 9. Her boyfriend, Arnold Aydalla, who also consumed the same drink, was hospitalized for a few days.
Authorities have yet to identify what caused the milk tea poisoning.
The family of Dagohoy is appealing to President Aquino for a speedy resolution of the case.
A sibling of Dagohoy said the family of ErgoCha owner William Abrigo, who also died after taking a sip of the milk tea he himself prepared, should be held responsible, noting that they should always guarantee that their products are safe for consumption.
A helper earlier claimed he saw Abrigo’s son working with some kind of chemical and that he was even asked to wash a pitcher that had a foul odor.
But Abrigo’s family maintained they had nothing to do with the poisoning. They suspect it may be a case of sabotage, they said. —report from Carolyn Bonquin, ABS-CBN News
