Dead Baby Boy Found in Plastic Bag
an Inquirer report from 2008
...the body of a baby boy was discovered at a tricycle terminal on H. Francisco Street corner Morato Road, Barangay Damayan.
Driver Hermilando Balalad Jr. said he found a plastic bag inside a tricycle as he was parking his vehicle at the terminal.
Curious about its contents, he said he opened the bag and was shocked to see the dead baby estimated to be about seven months old.
Balalad said the baby had a long open wound on his chest.
“It was likely that the baby boy’s chest was cut open. But we’re not sure if his internal organs were gone,” said village chairman Gualberto Casaje.

Strange Offerings
"Fetus found at Manila Cathedral"
I first saw this report on Inquirer's Twitter page yesterday.
I read a more detailed report in the paper today (October 16)
A fetus was found at the door of the Manila Cathedral in Intramuros, Manila, Wednesday morning. The fetus, believed to be about 2 to 3 months old, had been placed in a pot of roses and was found by the cathedral’s janitor and security guard. The two said they were about to move the flowers to the altar when they noticed a foul smell coming from the pot. Msgr. Nestor Cerbo, the rector, said it was the first time that a fetus was found within the church premises. (Tina G. Santos)

Reading that report, reminded of a similar incident that was in the Inquirer last July 8.
Church offering included fetus By Kristine L. Alave
MANILA, Philippines – A priest in a church in Manila was shocked to find a fetus inside a jar hidden in a basket of fruits offered during the Sunday morning Mass.
Monsignor Gerry Santos, president of the Manila Archdiocesan Parochial School Association, said he was unaware that the basket brought to the altar contained a ghastly gift.
In an interview with Radio Veritas, Santos said the basket was offered during the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass at the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo.
The priest said he was shocked to discover that the basket of fruit he brought home contained a small jar with a fetus inside.
“It looked like a four-month old fetus. It had hands and feet. There was a rosary inside the bottle, too,” he said.
The small jar, he said, was buried under various fruit offerings.

Could these two incidents possibly be linked?
Strange how both fetus were hidden in offerings for the church.
The unsub left the fetus at the church because he/she felt guilty, because the unsub was hoping to save the soul of the unborn/aborted child?
On somewhat related news, this was reported early in the year:
6-month-old fetus found in Malacañang toilet (January 17)
MANILA, Philippines – A 6-month-old fetus was found yesterday in one of the toilets in the four-story National Executive Building (NEB) in Malacañang.
