BACOLOD City – A Grade 12 student found a one-week-old baby girl wrapped in a towel at Sitio Panunquibon, Barangay Nasig-id, Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental last Thursday.

The minor-student was searching for a phone signal beside a cliff when she heard a baby crying, a report from the Negros Oriental Police Provincial Office (Norppo) said.

She then went back to their house and told her 26-year-old brother about the baby.

The baby, whose body was covered with soil, was abandoned by an unidentified individual at the said area.

Her brother reported it to the authorities and brought the baby to the Rural Health Unit in the town for medical consultation.
