Talagang tunay na survivor.
Pinangalanan ng mga empleyado ng Manila International Airport Authority ang sanggol na si “George Francis” o GF, initial ng Gulf Air sa aviation industry.
Ito ang report tungkol kay George Francis: Dumating ang Gulf Air galing Bahrain sa NAIA 11:18 ng umaga noong Linggo. Nang naglilinis ang mga sanitary personnel ng eroplano, nakita nila ang sanggol na lalaki nakabalot sa tissue paper napkins na puno ng dugo. Nang nilinisan nila ang bibig, umiyak ang sanggol. Sinabi nila sa security at itinakbo kaagad sa airport clinic.
Malusog daw ang sanggol. Three kilograms daw ang bigat at 48 centimeters ang haba. Kahapon sinabi na may bukol daw sa ulo si George Francis at may pasa sa mata.
Nakakapanghilakbot dahil buhay ito, hindi basura. Bakit itapon sa basurahan. Ano kaya ang nasa-isip ng ina nito ng ginawa niya ito? Paano nangyari yun na nanganak siya sa eroplano na walang nakaka-alam?
May ideya ang mga opisyal sa airport at personnel ng Gulf Air kung sino ang nanay ng sanggol dahil sa mantsang dugo sa upuan ng eroplano. Tiningnan nila ang departure card ng pasaherong sinususpetsahan nilang nanay at halata raw na hirap sa pagsulat ang gumawa noon. Hindi halos maintindihan ang sulat at kulang-kulang ang impormasyon.
Hindi ko masukat isipin ang bigat ng problema ng ina nito na nagawa niyang itapon ang buhay na galing sa kanyang sinapupunan?
Sabi ng mga nasa airline industry, may nangyari ring abortion sa eroplano. Hindi pa buo ang sanggol. OFW daw ang ina galing sa Middle East.
Maaring may asawa ang OFW at kung uuwi siya na buntis ng ibang lalaki, paano siya haharap sa kanyang pamilya? O kaya baka na-rape siya ng amo. Hindi natin alam ngunit itong kaso ni George Francis ay nagpapahiwatig ng hirap at ng kumplikasyun ng buhay ng OFW.
Iniisip ko ngayon. Nakakatulog kaya ang nanay nito?
Nakakamangha at na nakakapukaw ng damdamin dahil ang pagpanganak ay isang delikadog bagay. Ang normal na panganak ay ina-alagaan ang nanay at ang sanggol. Ito walang alaga, tinapon pa ngunit buhay pa rin.
Karaniwan daw, kapag binuksan nila ang basurahan, pinipitpit nila. Mabuti lang hindi nila ginawa yun sa basurahan na nandun ang sanggol.
Dito napapatunayan na lahat-lahat tayo may plano ang Panginoon. Kung plano niyang tatagal ka sa mundo, mabubuhay ka kahit anong hirap ng sitwasyon.
Nasa pangangalaga ng Department of Social and Welfare Services ang sanggol. Marami na raw tumawag na interesado silang ampunin si George Francis.
Nakakataba ng puso na kahit na masakit ang sitwasyun ng kanyang paglabas sa mundo, maraming puso rin ang kanyang nabuksan.
Hindi sya ang tunay na ina ng bata, nagkataon lang na ang kanyang womb ang instrumento. Sana ay makupkop ng mga tunay na magulang ang bata at ang mga bata na tulad nya.
Nakakahilakbot!
i don’t know what to say…it just goes to show that there is a god…
yes, Jug. The hand of God moves in mysterious ways.
Poor woman! She must have been in a terrible, desperate bind, must have felt helpless and didn’t know what to do.
I’m glad the baby is fine… I hope there was no problem with his oxygen intake, otherwise could severely affect his brain.
Reminds me of a staff member in the company where I worked (a Muslim) who got pregnant (by a non Muslim); she was totally at a loss, almost on the verge of suicide, wanted to keep the baby but she feared backlash from her family and decided to have an abortion. I pleaded with her not to go through it, told her my husband and I would adopt the baby but she said her parents and brothers would kill her (and her boyfriend)if they found out. She went and aborted. I felt really very sad for her.
Walang tamang dahilang upang ang isang sanggol ay itapon o patayin.
Incidentally, there’s another news regarding an infant dumped in a trash bin aboard a ship. Unfortunately the baby didn’t survived. 🙁
bakit kailangan natin na ipasa sa Diyos ang lahat ng nangyayari sa mundo:
– bakit nabuhay si Hitler?
– bakit nangyari ang 9/11
– bakit may mga still born? bakit hindi na lang nabuo?
– bakit may mga taong isinilang sa mundo na sobra ang kakayahan pero may mga taong may kapansanan?
Kasalanan ng Immigration sa Bahrain yan kung bakit pinayagan nila na sumakay sa eroplano ang walang hiyang ina nitong si GF. Halos lahat ng napuntahan kong bansa kapag buntis ka meron medical report na i piprisinta mo sa immigration kung ilang buwan ka ng buntis… dapat not more than 6 months ka na buntis.
Paano naipanganak sa eroplano ang bata na yan na walang nakahalata? Baka sa banyo ipinanganak noh?
Destroyer, marami kasi na naitatago ang kabuntisan kasi maliit ang tiyan. A friend of my cousin was able to hide her belly hanggang sa oras na manganganak na. Hindi nakatiis kaya nagpadala sa ospital, laging gulat ng magulang at mga kapatid, buntis pala! Unfortunately, galing ME din, di alam kung sinong ama.
this is a miracle in my book, truly is…
back in the say i was a rep selling infant formula, i chanced upon this couple in the hospital with a premature infant, he was in the incubator, his chances were slim as circumstances weren’t good, but he seemed to be fighting for his life, he wanted to live, and thanks to modern life support technology and charity, he was doing well…i gave a whole month of samples of milk for premature infants to this couple (the doctors will understand if i couldn’t give them samples for just one month)…the next day i met the father in the elevator, he was in tears when i talked to him, the power went out in the night and the generator gave out too…he said his baby was a fighter, he could have made it, but life support gave out…
i avoided the dr coverage (delivery room) for awhile after that…i couln’t bear looking at neonates for quite some time…
Makukulong ang mga ina na nagiiwan ng anak katulad ni GF, sabi ng DSW. Paano pa lalantad ang ina ni GF eh makukulong pala. Dapat ay iudyok ang ina nito na lumitaw and treat the matter confidentially, malay natin baka malala ang problema ng ina. Dapat ay ayuda sa ina at hindi any kind of harassment.
Oh no, not DSDW, i think it was those women’s org or sort of, that called for imprisonment.

true…compassion is needed here…not another life wasted…
Yes, the mom can be jailed for this. She threw her baby into the garbage bin (with intent to kill?). She may have her reasons for doing so (ie., rape, illicit affair, etc..) but that’s no reason to abandon a child like that. Walang kasalanan ang bata para pagdusahan ang mali ng ina.
The law may be harsh, but it is the law.
Sa US, any mother can bring her days old child to a church and other authorized places and that child will be given to adoption agencies. There will be no questions asked. Mas maraming magmamahal sa mga batang itinatapon. Sometimes they are the real survivors and they end up stronger.
@# 12 and 13: Compassion only if she comes out in the open and get tested for brain-fitness. Trashing a newborn is a crime and how Pinas will act on this remains another mystery.
We all know even in America, mentally challenged are/were sent to the gallows; and by whom? probably mentally challenged people themselves.
“Mas maraming magmamahal sa mga batang itinatapon. Sometimes they are the real survivors and they end up stronger.” – psb
A drowning man and a drowning puppy at the same time; whom do you think a white man will save first? The puppy will become the white man’s best friend forever.
it could also be that the mother thought her child was dead born. women are weaker psychologically speaking than men and also a lot of women suffers from psychological problems during pregnancy and after giving birth. so it is difficult to judge the mother specially coming from men, otherwise we will be like priests counselling married couples on their marital problems even though they have no experience in such.
Rubbish!!!
just an example is the game of chess which is quite psychological. women donot like it. afraid?

Rubbish again!
This woman here is a chess addict. I challenge you to a very high speed game of chess right now; if you want, we can do it now on Yahoo (will give you my ID and can check me out) and I guarantee you I can checkmate you in less than 1 minute. For your info, my sister participated in several Philippine chess championship games and even played chess in high school against boys for money. (To be perfectly honest, excellence at chess or non-excellence is not a good gauge of psychological strength of one sex over the other!)
Pretty rubbish thing to generally infer that men are psycholigically stronger than women. Absolute rubbish… It’s wrong to generalise! Besides, if what you say is true, the poor mother of baby George Francis perhaps would not have had to go through what she went through had the father of the child stood by her come hell or high water.
I defeated a PAF senior officer who was touted the PAF chess champion over a game of chess — the bet? If I won, he would endorse the weapons board committe recommendation to higher authority for approval.
So, let’s stop this generalisation crap about women being weaker psychologically than men, OK, particularly if your only gauge is excellence at chess?
And for a more concrete example: RP’s own Gloria Macapagal Arroyo defeated a number of men, not only in her cabinet but in the military too, psychologically subduing/battering them or more precisely shitting them about.
this discussion is going out of hand.chess should be played face to face, in the chess club where i play, there is one or two women. just like in the military, very few women though in the military there may be other reasons. but in chess, i could not think of any reason but psychological..i donot normally generalise either but there are differences between men and women, among them in my opinion psychological.
You started it norpil… check your statement. You may stick to your belief but you must accept that your belief or opinion can and should be challenged; also to back down from a challenge over some inane reason, eg., “chess is a face to face game”, denotes psychological inability to withstand pressure, anywhere, anyplace.
My point, norpil, is that it’s utterly wrong to generalise, i.e., that women are psychologically weaker than men.
Let’s see you, a man, withstand the psychological pressure of carrying a baby in your belly for 9 months, work and travel for the duration of pregnancy, have a caesarean, and start work 2 weeks later, not to speak of taking care of the baby all throughout.
Women are so psychologically strong that they can do all those while men, obviously because of their inability to give birth to a child, can not!!! Just the same, I will not have the temerity to proclaim and assert most condescendigly that women are psychologically stronger than men.
“….women are psychologically stronger than men.” – Anna
Case in point: Gloria Arroyo and her FG Mike. Gloria survived several coup attempts and impeachments and never got sick seriously while FG gets sick every time he’s being investigated. Has heart problems and in one instance, suffered diarrhea while on a plane. 😛 😛 😛
Back to topic.
The alleged mom was found by NBI agents this morning. She was brought to PGH for medical test. She said that the baby is not hers but NBI will investigate.
🙂 Hahahaha!
Mike, just to set record straight, I did not even assert that women are psychologically stronger than men. 🙂 Would be not only self serving but also not true even if we are living witnesses to one gory example, eg., Gloria vs her husband. :p :p :p :p

Speaking of disposing of unwanted live-born babies:
In KL (Malaysia), there is a charity home/arrangement/orphanage system for “mothers” who wish to “dispose” of their baby anonymously in a bid to discourage mothers from leaving their babies in a bin or on the sidewalk, or in a ditch etc, something that was prevalent in the 80s and early 90s in Malaysia.
I believe there are two homes of the kind now in KL… the entrance to the charity home leads to a sort of a tiny room with a wall that has built-in boxed shelves containing baby baskets. The person puts the baby in a baby basket, presses a bell and then walks out through the door without having encountered anyone. Someone from behind the wall of boxed shelves opens a door and picks up the baby basket.
Anna, there’s a foundation for aiding unwed mothers.

Thanks, Mike… excellent initiative by abs-cbn.
Agree with Jug:
Anna, there are also instutions run by religious groups for abandoned babies. One is Hospicio de San Jose along Ayala bridge. They have a sort of a crib at the entrance of the orphanage attached to a doorbell.. When you put the baby, the doorbell automatically rings and someone would come out to get the baby. If the mother or whoever brings the baby does not want to be identified, they let her be.
#10 martina, agree ako dyan.

I wonder how many babies are abandoned there… it is heart wrenching to know that there are so many children in orphanages, abandoned mostly because parents can’t afford to keep them or because of social pressures on mothers.
My husband and I tried to adopt the youngest child of a family from Batangas (father was very ill and dying, mother was also unwell and had 6 other children to look after) but both RP and European requirements and red tapes made it impossible if we wanted to do it legit.

There had been two cases of month old babies placed in microwaves by two evil mothers in the US, both babies died. Every country should have a “baby crib” program like that.
Just OT: Prior to my “still-born” five months old grandson was cremated four years ago, he was dressed up and placed in a 24 inches by 12 inches “baby-crib”, it’s the most somber episode of my life. I try not to look at that picture; since it’s the only think that makes me choke back.
Dumarami ang divorce at abortion. Ano ang ginagawa ng simbahan?
Libra, wala ka nang mahihita sa mga church authorities na wala na ang sentido komon.
Ganun din ang mga tao na hindi gumagamit noon kasi mas masarap gamitin ang damdamin kaysa isip. Kung pera ang usapan gagamit ang tao ng utak. Pero kung walang perang kasali sa usapan walang gagamit ng utak.
Ang magandang tanong, ano ang ginagawa ng estado?
Ang mga anarchist na nakakalat sa mundong ito,nagawang baligtarin ang lahat. Dito sa Pinas ang simbahan ay hindi simbahan kundi isang korporasyon. Nadagdagan pa nga mga pari na walang sentido komon at wala na ring moral theology.
Things happened for a reason.
The baby was destined to live. He was disposed of to die by a sick mother, but for some reasons, he survived. Survivors emerged as strong leaders. Maybe he is destined to be one in the future.
Believer or not, the hand of God played the role of a savior.
Mother of dumped baby was raped
