This is the moment a customer found a live rodent soaking in his half-empty cup in the Philippines.

Milk tea lover Rex Manatolo had already finished half of the sweet drink when he noticed the tiny mouse trapped inside the sealed plastic container looking for a way out.

He had bought the milk tea from a shop in Antipolo City, Rizal province, on November 26, but did not notice the disease-carrying pest at first, thinking it was merely a clump of tapioca pearls stuck at the bottom.

Rex said: "I was almost finished with the drink when the mouse floated up. I plan on returning to the shop to complain about it".
