Abandoned baby near trash pile in Quezon City dies
MANILA, Philippines — A baby found abandoned near a pile of garbage in Batasan Hills, Quezon City, on Monday has died.
Officers from the Batasan Hills Police Station 6 told INQUIRER.net in a phone interview that first responders brought the baby to the Rosario Maclang Bautista General Hospital, where healthcare providers later declared her dead on arrival.
The Batasan police said it appears that the baby was born within the day, being not older than 24 hours.
Photos of the newborn inside a box went viral after Facebook user Princess Ann Navarro Priolo shared that garbage collectors found the baby near Batasan Hills’ Freedom Park 3. In the post, the baby was seen without clothes and merely partially wrapped in a blue blanket.
