A male fetus believed to be around six months old was found at a grassy area in Barangay San Isidro, General Santos City.

The fetus, placed inside an eco bag, was discovered first by a construction worker while he was foraging for banana blossoms and gabi shoots to cook.

“Abrihan sa nako ang eco bag, kita gud nako ang tiil sa bata tapos pag-abri nako tanan, kita ang ulo, tanan, bata gyud siya,” the construction worker, Michael Diagan, said.

Authorities launched an investigation to find the person who abandoned the fetus.

According to the barangay, this is the fourth time in 2025 that a child or fetus was abandoned in the barangay.

Barangay officials are considering offering monetary reward to urge the public to report information that could help identify the individuals involved.

“Atung kuhaun ang opinion sa Sangguniang Panglungsod aron mapakusog pa o kaya matagaan og reward ug kinsay makatudlo sa mga nagalabay,” Barangay Chairman Edward Frederick Yumang, said.
