Two infants were found dead in separate places. One was found in a box inside a cemetery in Pangasinan while the other one was found behind a boarding house in Bohol.

According to the report of GMA Regional TV One North Central Luzon's Russell Simorio on "Saksi," the caretaker of the public cemetery in Binmaley, Pangasinan noticed a woman onboard a motorcycle carrying a box.

Alberto dela Cruz said that when the woman left the cemetery, she was no longer carrying the box. So, he checked and found a box placed on top of one of the tombs.

Upon inspection, he found a dead male infant inside the box.

Binmaley Deputy Chief Police Capt. Alexander Supsupin said they called the municipal health office to alert them and for them to conduct an autopsy.

The CCTV footage taken from Barangay Poblacion, which covers the area of the cemetery, showed a woman driving a motorcycle was observed.

Dela Cruz confirmed that the same woman left the box inside the cemetery.

The police is conducting an investigation to identify the person responsible for leaving the dead infant.

The police is conducting an investigation to find the parents of the infant, which was already in a state of decomposition.
