Authorities have apprehended a woman in Bulacan following allegations that she attempted to sell her newborn baby via an online transaction. An entrapment operation was conducted by law‑enforcement agents after monitoring social‑media groups where the offer was made.
The operation resulted in the rescue of the baby and the arrest of the suspect, who is now facing charges under the Anti‑Trafficking in Persons Act and other child‑protection laws. Investigators are continuing to probe the network behind the incident, including possible involvement of intermediaries and online platforms used to facilitate the baby‑selling scheme.
