"MANILA, Philippines - Senior Citizen Donna Alba of Green Heights Village in Parañaque City relates her experience at a KFC outlet in their community. After ordering their favorite value meal they discovered a staple wire embedded in the chicken that was served them. The attention of the manager was immediately called and with much embarrassment the fellow tried to explain that the staple may have been mixed in the bread crumbs, one of the ingredients used in the preparation of KFC products. After profuse apologies were extended, the meal was replaced and payment refunded.
Now if the staple had not been discovered in the nick of time, Ms Alba would have had a “hot, crispy, spicy” ... and wiry chicken for dinner, not to mention possible health complications, if the staple had lodged in some part of the body.
This is more a case of negligence rather than a breach of the Senior Citizen law, but residents of Parañaque may be interested to know that the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (Osca) is headed by Mr. Pedrito Kapunan. Perhaps Mayor Florencio Bernabe Jr. may wish to have his sanitation and health inspectors look into operational procedures of restaurant facilities not just of KFC but also other establishments to ensure that the highest standards are observed. In some instances, insects have been found enjoying the meal even before the customer himself."
