IOWA'S POV
"We are still waiting for the other results." wika ni Doctor Sebastian. "Food poisoning is the main cause that we have now, but since those patients showed other symptoms, we have to investigate more." pagpapaliwanag n'ya.
"I'm just really puzzled why does the management of that press con doesn't ensure the safety of the food before serving it to the visitors."
"Actually, I happened to talk to the organizers and chairperson of the said event. They told me that they are the ones who prepare the food. That's why they are also investigating how the food got the poison."
Kung ganoon, marahil ay sinadya ang lahat ng ito. Maaaring isa sa mga naghanda ng mga pagkain na iyon ang naglagay ng lason sa mga pagkain.
"How about the ingredients. Maybe they had used spoiled ingredients. Hindi nalinis nang maigi, hindi naluto nang maayos, you know, that could be possible."
"I doubt it. TUFS has the most skilled and trained chefs. In addition, a top foodservice provider will never do such shame. Ikakasira ng negosyo nila 'yon. And I really doubt that they can do that."
The Ultimate Food Services (TUFS) is one of the most sought and successful food service providers in the Philippines. Maka-ilang ulit na silang nabigyang parangal dahil sa di matatawarang serbisyo nila.
"So do you think this is sabotage?"
"I don't know, Head Nurse, I'm a doctor, not a detective." sarkastikong sagot ni Doctor Sebastian.
"I'm just asking. Sumagi kasi iyon sa isip ko. Malay mo, may gustong sumira sa TUFS tapos itinaon sa malaking event na iyon."
"Hayaan mo na ang mga imbestigador na sagutin ang mga akala mong 'yan. Basta tayo dito, let's focus on our duty- saving lives."
Mahirap man isipin kung paano, pero malakas talaga ang kutob ko na nasabotahe ang TUFS. My instincts never fail me.
"Doc! Doc!" rinig naming sigaw mula sa labas ng opisina ni Doctor Sebastian kung saan kami nag-uusap.
Dali-dali naman s'yang tumungo sa pintuan at binuksan iyon. Tumambad sa aming harapan si Megan, hapong-hapo.
"Doc, I think it's not just the journalists from the press con." wika nito habang hinahabol ang hininga.
"What are you talking about?" naguguluhang tanong ni Dc. Sebastian. Maging ako ay napa-kunot noo rin sa aking narinig.
"There are new arrival of a set of patients and they are manifesting the same symptoms as of the journalists from the press con." paliwanag ni Megan.
Hindi na nag-aksaya pa ng sandali si Doctor Sebastian at agad nilisan ang kanyang opisina.
