::Bird-Flu Free

Tuesday, November 08, 2005

My sister called me this afternoon and informed me that we now have Bird Flu in Calumpit, Bulacan. I didn't believe her but she told me her applicant from Bulacan told her that many poultry chicken and ducks died of the said disease. She asked me to warn the rest of our family not to buy chicken to avoid getting infected of Bird Flu virus.

This evening, I found out later that the Bird Flu outbreak in Negros forwarded as SMS messages nationwide was a hoax. Officials and executives assured the Philippines is BIRD-FLU FREE.

As broadcast over GMA 7's 24 Oras Evening News few days ago, here is a poultry map of provinces in the Philippines that are said to be near migratory sites of birds coming from cold countries like China.

Negros safe from bird flu, say doctors, executives
