MANILA, Philippines - A woman gave birth to a baby boy inside the Marikina City Hall's service multicab on Monday night.
Security guard Raymundo Bautista said he found Mildred Odevillas and the baby inside the multicab parked in front of the city hall.
Bautista said the baby's umbilical cord was still intact.
"Noong flashlight ko may bata na akala ko nagpapahinga lang dito sa loob ng service. Tumawag kami agad ng 161," the security guard said, referring to the baby and the Marikina City government's 24-hour quick response group.
The city hall's response group rushed the mother and the baby to the nearest hospital.
Dr.Glen Usita said the baby was brought to the emergency room for observation. The mother has been declared out of danger, he said.
Authorities said that Odevillas came from Novaliches and was waiting for a jeepney ride to Antipolo City in front of the city hall.
The mother said that it started raining so she decided to take shelter in the multicab.
As of press time, the city hall's social workers said they were still locating Odevilla's relatives.-- Report from Jacque Manabat, ABS-CBN News
