Heartbreaking footage has emerged of an abandoned baby boy found suffocating inside carrier bags just hours after being born.
The suffering newborn was discovered wrapped in plastic shopping bags on a motorbike and side car at 1am on Monday.
The baby was covered in blood and still had his umbilical cord attached when a group of friends heard his cries as they returned from a birthday party.
Medics said the baby had been slowly suffocating inside the bags and thankfully had not been alive long enough to contract infections from rubbish strewn in the street in Caloocan City, Philippines.
