00:00A woman who sold her newborn baby is in chaos.
00:04This is Patrick De Jesus' story.
00:09An unborn woman was not able to survive
00:13when she was arrested on Tuesday morning
00:15in the entrapment operation of the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group
00:19in a lying-in clinic in Caloocan.
00:21The woman was forced to sell her newborn baby
00:27which was taken by authorities.
00:29Before the baby was born,
00:31the suspect sold her baby in a social media post
00:35for 40,000 pesos
00:37and was arrested by the PNP ACG for cyber-patrolling.
00:43He showed the result of his ultrasound to the police
00:47who claimed that he will buy his baby
00:49and that's why the operation was cancelled.
00:51The suspect said that the money problem was the reason.
00:54He said that he needs his father's maintenance
00:57and that he doesn't have money since he's unemployed.
01:00He doesn't have a job.
01:01He doesn't have a livelihood.
01:03His father doesn't know that he has children
01:06and that his mother is an only child.
01:09The social workers of Caloocan LGU are in custody.
01:14The suspect will file a case of violation
01:17of the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse,
01:20Exploitation and Discrimination Act and Cybercrime Law.
01:25He refused to give a statement.
01:27I will defend myself but I will not speak for you.
01:32According to the PNP ACG,
01:34the baby is for sale online.
01:37In fact, six social media pages are being monitored
01:41where the child is being sold
01:44and has thousands of followers.
01:46For parents or especially for mothers
01:49who are not ready to be a mother
01:51or who don't have a child,
01:55it's better to ask for help from our family.
02:01If not, we can go to the social worker
02:04to ask for advice on what we can do.
02:08The PNP ACG is warning that the buyers of the baby
02:14Patrick De Jesus can also be punished
02:16for the national television in Bago, Philippines.
