TUGUEGARAO CITY, Philippines – A 31-year-old house helper was arrested in an entrapment operation while trying to sell her  baby in Barangay  Soldiers’ Hill in this city last Sunday.

Agents of the National Bureau of Investigation arrested Grace Alegado, a native of Antique.

NBI regional director Hector Geologo said concerned citizens tipped them off that Alegado planned to sell the baby for P15,000.

Alegado told police she wanted to sell the baby, who was fathered by her lover in Apayao province, to hide her infidelity. She said she gave birth last Dec. 13 at the Cagayan Valley Regional Medical Center.
