The 51-year old lawmaker was hospitalized last march due to complications related to his diabetes and doctors said his condition is worsening because he won’t stop eating chicken intestine (isaw).

“We told him before to stop his bad habit because he is getting a lot of sodium from isaw that lead to hypertension. It’s bad because he has a Type A diabetes and is not helping at all,” Dr. Ralph Martin, a cardiologist at the famed hospital told reporters on Thursday.

Zarate has been going in and out of the hospital since March but his craving for isaw is making his body prone to more health complications.

The lawmaker was brought to the hospital a day ahead of his schedule periodic test after he passed out during a rally in front of NutriAsia on Wednesday.

He complained of severe stomach pain and when doctors conducted an ultrasound, they found large amount of undigested chicken intestines inside his stomach.

The leftist lawmaker according to people close to him is addicted to both isaw and balut – the main reason why he is suffering from hypertension and diabetes due to high cholesterol.
Zarate refused to comment while leaving the hospital today.
