BACOLOD City – The decomposing body of a two-day-old baby girl was found in a sugarcane field in Barangay Nagasi, La Carlota City, Negros Occidental last Wednesday.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Lowell Garinganao, La Carlota City police chief, said the baby was sealed in plastic and was believed to have been left in the area for about three to five days already.
“Gaka agnas na siya,” he added.
Garinganao said that nobody was able to see who left the baby in the area. Thus, police could not trace the baby’s parents or the mother.
Two laborers discovered the baby’s remains when they smelled a foul odor from the said area.
They ignored it at first until they passed by the area later that day and decided to check on it.
The baby’s remains were buried by the barangay officials on the same day.
