/ 07:31 PM June 01, 2013

MANILA, Philippines—A woman gave birth prematurely to a girl early Saturday morning, just several hours after reporting for work as help at a Quezon City household Friday night, police said.

It was not clear, however, if Georgilin Lourencio’s child was stillborn or died right after birth in one of the bathrooms at her employer’s home at the Roseville Townhouse on Samar Avenue in Barangay South Triangle.

Lourencio, 21, was still confined at the East Avenue Medical Center after prematurely giving birth at around 6 a.m. Saturday.

Case investigator SPO1 Randy Bantillo said Lourencio, a single mother, arrived at the household on Friday night to start work as househelp. Household members claimed they did not know the woman was pregnant until Saturday morning.

Montanez rushed to the bathroom to find the baby girl dead on the floor.
