                    [Summary] => LEGAZPI CITY — Excitement burns in more ways than one.


Seven contestants of the annual sili-eating contest here found out that eating more than what you can chew is no way to beat a Guinness record or win the top prize.

Five male and two female participants had to be treated by medical personnel after turning pale and grimacing in pain during the competition.

One of them even claimed seeing demons while in a dazed spell.

LEGAZPI CITY -- Hail to the new Sili King!

Armando Martillana, 40, of Daraga town, makes it to the Guinness Book of World Records after devouring 550 pieces of chili in three minutes in the sili-eating contest that highlighted Albay's Magayon Festival over the weekend. He outdid Ereberto Gonzales, 29, the previous record-holder who consumed 350 pieces of sili last year.

Martillana easily took the top prize as Gonzales failed to hurl a challenge as doctors found him with high blood pressure.
