It's actually entirely possible that she accidentally dropped the baby in.

We had one case waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... *breathe*... aaaaaay back in the 80's where a woman here in the Philippines gave birth in the toilet. Luckily for her, the umbilical stayed attached so the baby didn't suffer from the dunking.

Lucky baby. And if the mother really wanted to kill or abandon the baby, she wouldn't have told the landlord.

i hear one of the rescuers dropped off some baby formula for the baby some days after the rescue. Nice gesture, but i hope they dropped off *imported* baby formula.

In fairness, marami rin namang cases ng abandoned fetuses/babies dito sa atin, or in other countries for that matter. Does it really make a difference if they were dumped in a toilet, garbage heap, etc?

What i don't get is, if they wanted the baby to live, why not leave the baby in a church (since they're soooo much against the RH bill) or adoption center? Or if they wanted the baby to die, why dump the baby in a toilet/garbage heap/etc.? Why not just get an abortion, or euthanise the baby? Why humiliate it, let it suffer?

i have doubts whether it was an accident. iirc they had to find the mother after the baby was rescued -- why wasn't she there during the rescue, or when they were pyring the baby out of the tube? And i doubt the baby would have fallen so straight into the pipe without its arm/leg getting snagged on the floor.

Maybe she had a change of heart after the fact.
