The new born baby died in Bantayan District Hospital under the supervision of the alleged attending physician, Dr. Melben Jochico who is blamed by the parents for the untimely death of the new born baby.

Edwin Chavez, brother of Arnulfo Chavez the father of the dead baby told attracttour.com that Salvacion Lomarda-Chavez the wife of Arnulfo went to the Hospital of Bantayan Island with her husband to give birth of the baby.

Upon arrival to the hospital the baby was already delivered, and the medical team assisted the mother and the baby.

According to Edwin the baby is premature but healthy during his visit in the hospital. The following day one of his niece informed him that the baby was dead. He was completely in shocked and rushed to the hospital to know what was happening why the baby who was healthy during his visit a day before but suddenly is dead.

Edwin asked his sister-in-law and she told him that before the baby died the couple attempted to call the attending physician to be at present because the baby was restless and uneasy. They even took the baby to the nurse station but they just said to bring the baby back to the recovery room and that they will just go there to check the baby.

Edwin said that his brother and wife both waited in the recovery room for quite several hours until they say that the baby spew blood and that’s when his brother shattered to call the doctor again.

The doctor and so the nurses came but it was too late coz the baby is already dead and u know what they just said to my brother? They said, “I told u to bring the child to us” (I don’t know where is that “to us”). You see that’s terrible!, explained Edwin.
