Temporary delivery rooms have also been set up, but Tabanao, the widow of slain radioman Jessie Tabanao, gave birth to her second child on a stretcher.
Tabanao went home with her baby boy soon after delivery, the report noted, adding that the hospital would still have to undergo a structural assessment.
