Norfil seeks kin of abandoned baby

NORFIL Foundation Inc., a social welfare agency in Lapu-Lapu City, is calling the attention of the parents and relatives of the nine-month-old baby girl under its care.

Angel Hali, born on June 2, 2012 in Agusan Pequiño, Butuan City was left by her mother, Analou Hali to Jean Gallardo of Agusan Pequiño when she was a week old.

Analou has not communicated nor returned to get back the child.

Rose Gallardo brought the child on board a ship to Cebu City on June 19, 2012.

However, the child was referred to the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Central Visayas (DSWD-7) after she was suspected of being kidnapped. The DSWD-7 then turned over the baby to Norfil.

The Norfil Foundation is requesting the parents or relatives of Angel Hali to see or contact social workers Angelina Dungog, Sheryl Gacita or Griffith Riconalla at 3401170 or 3405722 from Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Failure of the parents to appear within three months will compel the DSWD-7 to issue a certification that will subject the child for adoption.
