AKLAN - A 12-year-old girl from Kalibo, Aklan gave birth to a baby boy on November 3 at the Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon Memorial Hospital in the province.

The family of the girl said they had no knowledge about the pregnancy.

They also thought that the girl just gained weight.

The girl's mother said they brought the girl to a faith healer because her daughter was complaining of severe stomach pain.

The faith healer claimed that the girl had a tumor.

It was only when they brought the girl to the hospital they learned she was 8 months pregnant.

The family has no idea on the identity of the father of the baby.

The Kalibo police women and children's protection desk is conducting an investigation to help the family identify the father of the child.

The girl is the fourth of five siblings and is currently a Grade 5 student.

Her father works as a mason.

She had a natural delivery but the baby is still in the hospital's intensive care unit because it was born premature.
