Police Major Eric Gingoyon, chief of Liloan Police Station, said they arrested Vilma Jemes Sayre and Raul Taritas, a live-in couple, around 11 p.m. on Monday. In an interview with Cebu-based radio station, dyHP, Sayre pointed to Taritas as the one responsible for ‘disposing off’ of the newborn.Due to poverty, the mother had not undergone any pre-natal checkup after learning she was pregnant with her sixth child. She added that her partner also threatened her multiple times if she even attempted to go to a healthcare worker for a check-up.
She admitted resorting to prostitution to provide for her family, which includes her, Taritas, and their two children. The couple had a total of five children, three of whom had been already transferred to their grandparents’ care. When she gave birth to the child last Monday, Sayre was the only one left inside their house in Brgy. San Vicente.
