THE Children’s Haven of the Albert Schweitzer Familienwerk Foundation Philippines Inc. (ASFFPI) is seeking the assistance of the public in locating the parents and relatives of an abandoned child.
The child, who is only known by the name Justin, estimated to be 10 years old, was found somewhere in Colon Street, Cebu City last Jan. 15 by the Anti-Mendicancy Task Force. He was referred to the Pari-an Drop-in Center on the same day.
Justin claimed that his mother is Grace and he has a younger brother named Cris. He is now reunited with Cris at the ASFFPI.
The ASFFPI Children’s Haven is requesting the parents and relatives of Justin to visit their center in barangay Pilipog, Cordova, Cebu or contact wocial worker Ligaya Maquiling or executive director Martiniana Mercado at 4967608.
Failure of the parties to appear or claim the child within one month will subject the latter for legal abandonment.
