MANILA, Philippines – Philippine woman says she left newborn on plane: Lawmaker

A Philippine woman has acknowledged giving birth to a baby on a flight and then abandoning him in the trash on board the plane, a lawmaker said Thursday.

The baby was found by a security guard at Manila's airport last Sunday in a trash bag unloaded from a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain. The trash apparently came from the plane's bathroom.

Rep. Lani Mercado said the woman explained to her why she had abandoned the baby. She said the story was heart-wrenching and urged the public not to judge the woman harshly.

"She admitted it's her child," Mercado told reporters after meeting briefly with the woman at Manila's National Bureau of Investigation headquarters. "Let's all pray that there will be a happy ending to this story."

Mercado, who serves on legislative committees on children and women, refused to provide other details of the meeting, saying government investigators had asked her not to divulge information about the woman. It was not clear why she was allowed to meet with the woman, but lawmakers often get involved in high-profile cases.

The 30-year-old woman was located Wednesday in the remote northern province of Apayao after investigators set out to find the person who sat in a bloodstained seat on the plane.

Authorities brought her to Manila for questioning and testing. They did not release her name.

Social Welfare Secretary Dinky Soliman, who has custody of the baby, cautioned that it is still not certain whether the woman is the mother.

She earlier said authorities plan to conduct DNA tests on the woman and the baby and that it would take at least a month to establish whether she is the parent.

"We want to be very sure that we won't ascribe this act to the wrong person," Soliman told The Associated Press.

The mother could face criminal charges for abandoning her child, Soliman said.

The six-pound, nine-ounce (three-kilogram) baby _ still attached to the placenta _ was found wrapped in tissue paper. Airport officials said the baby, already bluish in color, may have died within a few minutes had he not been found.

The baby, temporarily named George Francis after Gulf Air's flight code GF, is now fine but underwent an X-ray because of two bumps on his head, welfare officer Thelsa Biolena said. The results have not yet been released.

About 20 couples, including some from abroad, have offered to adopt the boy, she said.

Local media have speculated that the mother could be one of the many Filipino women who work as maids in the Middle East. About one in 10 Filipinos works abroad, many as domestic workers and laborers in the Middle East, to escape crushing poverty and unemployment at home.

A migrants’ rights group asked on Friday for compassion, and not contempt, for the self-confessed mother of the newborn infant—now given the name George Francis Dimaano—found in the trash bin of a Gulf Air jetliner that landed in Manila’s international airport last week.

In a statement, Migrante-Middle East said the Filipina worker from Qatar who claimed to be the baby boy’s mother is in a “deplorable situation" and thus needs understanding, not condemnation.

“The OFW mother who left her newborn child in the plane must not be condemned; she needs assistance being in a deplorable situation like many OFW mothers working abroad," said Migrante regional coordinator John Leonard Monterona. Monterona said the migrant organization believes that the Filipina was burdened with problems and was not ready to face the consequences of her pregnancy, forcing her to a decision to just dump her baby. He added the woman could have been “very disturbed," further complicated by the unexpected plight of having to give birth during the flight.

Mother may have been abused

On Sunday, the infant was found dumped in a trash bin of Gulf Air flight GF-154, which arrived at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport before Sunday noon, after investigators noticed a trail of blood from one of the seats to the lavatory. (See: ‘Gulf Air’ baby in stable condition; 2 more abandoned infants found) The National Bureau of Investigation earlier said the OFW, whom it brought to Manila on Wednesday from Apayao, had already admitted to being the mother of baby George Francis, named by airport personnel after the plane’s flight code. (See: OFW admits giving birth to ‘Gulf Air’ baby) The Department of Social Welfare and Development, which now keeps the OFW in custody, meanwhile said on Friday that it is highly possible that the woman was a victim of abuse, according to report by GMA News’ “24 Oras". This page requires a higher version browser In an Associated Press report, Cavite Rep. Lani Mercado-Revilla confirmed that the woman told her that she had been raped by her employer, for whom she worked as a domestic helper, and then forced her to return to the Philippines. Mercado-Revilla added the woman told her that she abandoned the family for fear of what her family would say. Mercado-Revilla and Buhay party-list Rep. Irwin Tieng likewise said the woman should be helped instead of condemned. In a privilege speech on Thursday, Mercado-Revilla said the woman should be extended “compassion and mercy" instead of being penalized for what she did, being a modern-day hero that risks her life abroad for decent work. In a separate statement meanwhile, Tieng said while there is no excuse for the mother to abandon her baby, the government should nevertheless consider the “harsh realities" that women OFWs face while working overseas. Other Filipina workers in same condition Meanwhile, Monterona disclosed that there are other Filipina workers in the Middle East who face the same dire situation and are in need of assistance. “(There are) women OFWs, specifically domestic workers in the Middle East, (who) have been subjected to segxwal abuses and maltreatment by their abusive male employers, forcing them to run away and become undocumented," he explained. Monterona cited the case of the 10 Filipina workers who gave birth in Saudi Arabia and are now staying at the Philippine Embassy’s Bahay Kalinga in Riyadh. The children’s ages range from as old as seven years to as young as eight months, he disclosed. “They are working as domestic helpers and were victims of segxwal abuses by their employers. They ran away, became pregnant, gave birth, and became illegal migrants after their work permits have expired," Monterona added. He said some of the 10 mothers, along with their children, have been staying for more than a year in Bahay Kalinga, but have yet to be repatriated by the Embassy. Government records show as of December 2008, there were over a million Filipinos in Saudi Arabia. Last year, some 6,000 Filipinos were deployed as domestic helpers in the Kingdom.
