                    [Summary] => Seventeen more residents of the Foreshore area in Tondo, Manila fell ill to severe diarrhea last Wednesday, bringing to 576 the number of cases, including five  deaths.


As this developed, the Department of Health, the Manila city government and Maynilad Water Services Inc. (MWSI) took steps yesterday to halt a suspected outbreak.


Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit said the outbreak of severe diarrhea — a symptom of cholera — was probably caused by human waste leaking into the water system or by people eating infected shellfish.
