The parents of a lucky baby born on Dec. 19 in Muntinlupa will receive P100,000 in celebration of the city’s founding centennial.

According to city information officer Tez Navarro, the baby born the closest to midnight will be considered the winner.

Aside from the P100,000 cash gift courtesy of city hall, private firms based in Muntinlupa have also pledged additional gifts, including groceries, baby toys, a crib, milk bottles, diapers and vitamins.

Navarro said the search for the centennial baby would be coordinated with the city’s 16 hospitals and lying-in clinics.
