The Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-AVSEGROUP) reported that an embryo was discovered at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 1 East Departure Restroom.

On the afternoon of 6 August, a cleaning attendant found a blood-soaked napkin tissue in a garbage can in one of the female restrooms at Terminal 1. Further inspection revealed a human embryo wrapped in the tissue. The attendant immediately reported the incident to airport authorities.
