The infant, discovered by a vigilant resident, showed signs of having been recently delivered, with traces of blood still present and her umbilical cord attached.
According to a report from the Liliw Municipal Police Station, the discovery was made around 9:30 AM.
A "concerned citizen" stumbled upon the baby in a dense part of the barangay, a location often used for disposing of refuse or overgrown with vegetation, making the discovery particularly alarming.
The infant's condition, as described by authorities, strongly suggested she had just been born, underscoring the urgency of the situation.
Upon the heartbreaking discovery, residents quickly rallied to assist the helpless infant. Community members immediately took action to clean and care for the baby, providing much-needed comfort and initial aid before medical professionals could intervene.
Their swift response was crucial, and the baby girl is now reportedly in stable condition, receiving proper care.
The Liliw Municipal Police Station has launched an intensive investigation to identify the individual or individuals responsible for abandoning the newborn.
Authorities are urging anyone with information that could lead to the identification of the baby's parents or the circumstances of her abandonment to come forward.
Investigators are likely to canvas the surrounding areas, check for any security camera footage, and coordinate with local health centers to gather potential leads.
This distressing incident has cast a somber mood over the community of Liliw, prompting discussions on maternal health and the support systems available for new mothers.
Abandonment cases, while tragic, often reflect complex underlying social or economic issues faced by parents.
However, the immediate focus of law enforcement remains on the criminal aspect of the abandonment, as they work diligently to determine accountability for leaving an infant in such a vulnerable state.
The well-being of the rescued baby girl remains paramount, and efforts are underway to ensure she receives continuous care and a secure future.

In news overseas, President BBM, during his first meeting with US President Donald Trump, listened to the latter as he publicly stated that the previous Duterte administration "didn't know what they were doing" and "didn't get along with anybody" in its foreign policy. Trump expressed satisfaction that the Philippines, which he said was "tilting toward China" under Duterte, has now "un-tilted" back towards the United States under Marcos Jr.'s leadership. Trump's remarks come as former President Duterte is reportedly detained by the ICC, and amid a heated political rivalry between President Marcos Jr. and Vice President Sara Duterte in the Philippines. The article notes that under President Marcos Jr., the Philippines has adopted a more decisive stance on the West Philippine Sea, a shift that aligns with consistent US support in the disputed waters.
