Businesswoman finds newborn under papaya tree in Cavite

-


An abandoned baby boy was found by a businesswoman under a papaya tree on a vacant lot in Cavite last Wednesday noon.

"I found this abandoned newly born baby (with fresh blood stain on his umbilical cord)," said Cielo Tuazon Camino-Yabut who found the abandoned baby under a tree near Jollibee Pag-asa in Imus.

Yabut, who was on her way to a meeting at the mayor's office, said that she was thankful that the baby is still alive. "Nasa ilalim ng puno ng papaya yung baby at nasisikatan siya ng araw. Iyak siya ng iyak dahil naiinitan. Thank God at buhay pa!"


She immediately called her friend Dr. Randy Calingasan for assistance who dispatched an ambulance and a medical team.

Yabut said that she and the medical team turned over the baby to the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Imus. The boy, she said, is now okay and being breastfed.


Authorities said that people who find a baby cannot just adopt them without legal process.

The 11 steps in adopting a baby are Application, Preparation of Home Study Report, Approval/disapproval of application, Matching or family selection, Pre-placement of child, Placement, Supervised trial custody, Finalization of adoption, Issuance of adoption decree, Issuance of an amended birth certificate; and Post-adoptive services.


The DSWD said that processing fee may range from P30,000 and up and the whole process of legal adoption may take one to two years. - ROBERT R. REQUINTINA

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

"Construction in my upstairs neighbor’s condo is driving us nuts! It’s been about a year na," said Cuneta on Facebook. Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
