Sending spoiled milk, bread to schools reeks of negligence – solons

MANILA, Philippines — Several House lawmakers believe that the Department of Education (DepEd) delivery of spoiled milk and bread is tantamount to criminal negligence, as consuming these food items or not had an effect on their overall health.

House committee on appropriations chairperson and Ako Bicol party-list Rep. Elizaldy Co said in a statement on Wednesday that students would have suffered food poisoning if they ingested the spoiled milk and bread—but may have gone hungry if they did not receive any food provision.

“I pity the children in public schools who were the supposed intended beneficiaries. I hope they were not able to drink spoiled milk or eat expired bread, but if they did not, they may have gone hungry,” he said.
