Two people died while scores were hospitalized in a remote Cagayan village in what authorities said was a case of ingesting contaminated animal meat at the weekend.

Cagayan health officer Danilo Alonzo confirmed that two residents from the village had died, while his deputy, Carlos Cortina, said about 150 more had been hospitalized as of last Friday and were under close monitoring by medical personnel.
