"Janet Banico, a 26-year-old bank teller, had already picked out a name for her daughter: Jharian Ezekiah. The first-time mother, however, never got a chance to name her newborn baby after two women whom she met by chance in a passenger jeepney last week kidnapped her, took the infant and then dumped her in front of a church in Manila."
According to the report, the mother was riding a jeepney and on her way to the hospital. She got out of the jeepney to get a cab and two women, who were also riding the jeepney, came down to help her. They joined her in the cab and gave her medicine to calm her down. The mother fell asleep and later woke up in a hospital gown, but she noted that the bedroom did not look like the usual hospital room.
She was kept there from Thursday til Sunday.
She woke up Sunday, 1am, in front of the Sta. Cruz church from across Plaza Sta. Cruz.
There was no sign of her shoes or her bag which contained P18,000 in cash and her cell phone.
Her baby was nowhere to be found.
