Kahit subukan kong maglasing para mas dibdibin yung hinanaing mo eh hindi ko maintindihan kung saan ka kumuha ng apog para ipagpilitan yang katangahang pakulo mo," Calibara said.<br /><br />Calibara also questioned how the mouse will get into the coffee since the the chain has meticulous process of serving drinks. He points out that all Starbucks use high-powered blenders which would have resulted in anything inside the blender chopped to pieces and would have made the coffee red with blood and look like an order of Red Velvet Frappuccino.<br /><br />"Ang malaking tanong: Paano, PAANO mapupunta yung bubwit na yun doon?? Mas malabo pa sa sabaw ng pusit na sa process ng pag gawa ng drink sya mapupunta — Oh sige, isipin nalang natin na na blend yun ate tulad ng kathang isip na pakulo mo, HELLO?! High-powered yung mga Blenders namin (Vitamix / BlendTec ) sa store, at kahit cellphone mo, oh kamay mo eh kayang durugin no'n kaya wag kang ano dyan! Ano, may pag Matrix na sa pag iwas sa blades ng blender?! Damn bubwit got them skills, eh?!?"<br /><br />Here's his full post to debunk the allegation against Starbucks:<br /><br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/marcoenvyme/posts/1741500066080978" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/marcoenvyme/posts/1741500066080978">I've worked with Starbucks for more than 3 years and this is my opinion Re: the issue, (Tataglish-in ko nlang para...<br />Posted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marcoenvyme" rel="nofollow">Marco Carlo Calibara</a> on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/marcoenvyme/posts/1741500066080978" rel="nofollow">Thursday, January 28, 2016</a></blockquote></div></div></center><br />On Tuesday, the complainant named Jessica shared that she already drank half of her drink from the world-famous coffee branch in Mandaluyong when she noticed the dead mouse.<br /><br /><b>VIDEO</b>: <a href="http://pinoybuzz.blogkorner.com/2016/01/video-customer-finds-dead-mouse-starbucks-coffee.html" rel="nofollow">Customer allegedly finds dead mouse in her Starbucks coffee</a><br /><br />Jessica reported the incident to the Philippine National Police (PNP).

After a few hours, the group decided to leave the store and head home. Jessa opted to take her drinks out since she hadn’t finished it.<br /><br />On her way home, Jessa noticed a hard object in her drink and opened the lid to see what’s inside. To her surprise, Jessa found a dead mouse floating in her drink.<br /><br />“Pagka-stir ko, doon ko nakita yung daga,” she told ABS-CBN News.<br /><br />(After I stirred it, that’s when I saw the mouse.)<br /><br />This prompted Jessa to call her friends who then accompanied her to report the incident at the said branch. However, the branch manager reportedly denied that the lifeless mouse came from their store. The branch manager insisted that the store is clean since they have a sanitation permit. They were even told to just come back if something happens.<br /><br />Because the issue wasn’t resolved, Jessa then proceeded to file an incident report at the Mandaluyong Philippine National Police (PNP).<br /><br />The Health and Sanitation Office of the City Health Department of Mandaluyong immediately took action and sent their staff to conduct an investigation at the said branch the next morning. Although the staff had a mission order, the management of Starbucks branch didn’t allow them to inspect the kitchen of the store. <br /><br />In a statement, Starbucks Philippines revealed that they are currently conducting an investigation on the incident.<br /><br />“We want everyone who visits our stores to enjoy their visit, and we take such claims very seriously.
