MANILA - A newborn boy was found near a Jollibee store in Imus, Cavite on Wednesday morning.

Jesica Verano, an employee of the fast-food chain, said a traffic enforcer brought the baby into the store and their crew helped feed and clean the child.

"Mukhang kapapanganak pa lang po. Kasi po sobrang sariwa pa yung pusod niya. And may kaunting dugo pa din yung ulo niya. Parang minadali pong nilinisan si baby tapos po iniwan na," Verano told ABS-CBN News.

(He seems to be a newborn. His navel wound is fresh and he has some blood on his forehead. It's like someone was in a hurry to clean him then left him.)

"Hindi ko po alam kung sino po ang nakapulot kay baby. Ang nakita po namin karga-karga na si baby ng traffic enforcer, dinala po siya sa loob ng store. Dun na po namin siya nakita kasi po kinuha po siya ng TL namin para po padedehin at linisan."

(I don't know who found the baby. We saw a traffic enforcer carrying him into the store. We saw him when our team leader took him to feed and clean.)

Verano said the Department of Social Welfare and Development in Cavite has taken the baby into custody.

Verano's post on Facebook has garnered more than 5,400 reactions and 3,655 shares as of posting.
