MANILA, Philippines - A homemade cake given by a close friend downed a family of four in Antipolo City last Thursday.

The victims – Pilar Echano, 60, and her children Eric, 34; Alex, 32; and Irally, 22 – suffered dizziness, stomach pain, vomiting, numbness and sweating minutes after eating the cake and were rushed to the Amang Rodriguez Memorial Medical Center where they are presently confined.
