MANILA, Philippines -- Police arrested two women on Friday for allegedly disposing of a male fetus at the Sto. Niño parish church in Tondo.

MPD Tondo Station 2 policemen nabbed Lourdes Felipe, 26, of Sangandaan Street in Caloocan City, and Teresita Posadas, 38, of Fugoso Street in Sta. Cruz, Manila, and turned them over to the custody of the homicide section.

The two women were allegedly in the act of throwing away the aborted fetus -- between five and six months premature and wrapped in a plastic bag -- inside the compound of the Sto. Niño de Tondo Parish Church on Ortega Street in Tondo, when they were spotted by police officers Roberto Benitez and Jessie Martinez.

Felipe and Posadas were accosted by the policemen, who grew suspicious of the women’s presence in the compound at the unholy hour of 3:45 a.m.

An inspection of the plastic bag revealed an aborted fetus, which prompted the officers to take the women into custody.

After the women were turned over to the homicide section, Felipe reportedly informed investigators that the child was hers and that she had paid Posadas for the abortion.

Posadas, she claimed, told her that they could dispose of the fetus inside the church compound.

Both women were being held at the MPD homicide section pending the filing of an abortion charge against them at the prosecutor’s office.(Inquirer.net)
