Erroneous Detail. Maurita de Ramas died on November 22, 2007, not on the 23rd as reported in the blog. Medical Certificate issued by Rapu-Rapu District Hospital where she died says so.
The Rest of the Write-Up Becomes Suspicious. Having started with a mistake, the rest of the article becomes untrustworthy.
See For Yourself. The item claims that Maurita, after eating fish caught on October 28 “complained of nausea and vomiting immediately” and “was immediately brought to the hospital and was given some medication. For the next few days, she went back several times to the hospital because of her ailment.”
However, a nurse in the only hospital in Rapu-Rapu swears that she never saw Maurita in the hospital during the period October 28-November 18. She saw Maurita only on the 19th of November and the days thereafter.
The medical certificate reflects that she was confined on Nov. 19-22, 2007. She was confined only on the 22nd day after the alleged food-poisoning!
Further, the hospital has no records showing that Maurita was an outpatient anytime during the period October 28-November 18.
Strangers impose the idea of food-poisoning. Maurita’s husband Miguel said that during the burial of her wife, strangers who identified themselves with Sagip Isla approached him, pressing on him the idea that his wife died because she ate fish on Oct. 28. Miguel noted that he never saw these people in Rapu-Rapu before, and they spoke in Tagalog.
The medical certificate identifies the cause of death as Cardio Respiratory Arrest secondary to Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). Nausea and vomiting, of which Maurita allegedly complained of, are symptoms of CHF.
May her soul rest in peace.
