In the Philippines, disposing of a lifeless newborn baby in a dumpster can lead to various criminal charges depending on the circumstances.

If the act was intended to hide the birth, the person responsible may be charged with concealment of dishonor under Article 347 of the Revised Penal Code, which carries a light penalty.

However, if the baby was abandoned and later died, the charge could be abandonment resulting in death, which carries a heavier penalty under Articles 276-278.

If the disposal was done to hide evidence of a crime such as infanticide or illegal abortion, the person may face obstruction of justice under Presidential Decree No. 1829.

Additionally, improper disposal of human remains could violate environmental laws under RA 9003, and if there is evidence that the baby was intentionally killed before disposal, charges of infanticide or murder may apply.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In a previous report by KAMI, two suspects were arrested in Liloan, Cebu for offering women to drinking men inside a bar. They were caught in an entrapment operation conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation Region VII. One male suspect and another from the LGBTQ community were arrested for offering 5 women to customers in a bar. In a report by TV 5's 'Frontline Tonight,' the suspects were pretending to be customers in a bar, but they were offering the victims to the drinking customers inside.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
