Fetus Found in Garbage Shocks Pasig Community
A disturbing discovery shook residents in Barangay Pinagbuhatan, Pasig City, when a fetus estimated to be between five and seven months old was found in a pile of trash. The fetus found in garbage was uncovered on Tuesday, June 10, near the corner of Eusebio Avenue and Kalayaan Streets.
Residents spotted the disturbing sight around 1:30 p.m., wrapped in a plastic bag. However, funeral home workers could only retrieve the fetus late at night, around 11 p.m., due to the absence of a permit, which typically requires a relative’s authorization. The delay was compounded by the fact that no family has come forward to claim or identify the fetus.
Residents’ Initial Reaction and Discovery
Local residents shared that the plastic-wrapped item had been lying in the garbage pile since early morning. They initially ignored it, as leftover trash is a common sight after garbage trucks pass through. The situation changed when a passing car accidentally ran over the pile, releasing a strong, foul odor that led to the shocking discovery of the fetus inside the bag. Witnesses noted that the umbilical cord appeared still attached.
Community and Barangay Response
Upon noticing the foul smell and the contents of the plastic bag, residents promptly alerted barangay officials. The local leaders responded swiftly, assuring the community that they would arrange a proper burial for the fetus. Meanwhile, authorities have launched an investigation to identify the person responsible for abandoning the fetus in this public area.
This incident has raised concerns about the safety, awareness, and social support systems in the area. Local authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to aid in the investigation.
