BACOLOD CITY – A newborn baby boy was found at the lobby of the San Sebastian Cathedral here on Sunday, July 30.
Police Major Elmer Bonilla, head of Police Station 1, said that a woman, who visited the church, heard an infant cry and located the baby wrapped in a cloth.
Bonilla said the woman tried to find the person who left the baby but nobody was able to notice someone entering the church with the infant.
