Cordillera - A kindhearted police officer in Abra is being praised by netizens online after photos of her breastfeeding a hungry baby went viral.

In a post from PNP Abra San Juan, Patrolman Neslea Taoaquen and NUP Janemil Ugan were at the Abra PPO Camp Juan Villamor in Bangued for the celebration of the National Women’s Month 2022 when they noticed a family with two young girls and a 7-months old baby. 

While they were in the middle of the program, the baby was crying incessantly and the girls were restless.

Pat. Taoaquen and NUP Ugan asked the mother what was the problem and she said they haven't had breakfast and they haven't brought any money. 

The baby was also not wearing any diaper which was one of the reasons why he couldn't stop crying. 

Pat Taoaquen and NUP Ugan quickly looked for a nearby store to buy food and diapers then gave them to the needy family. 

However, the baby kept on crying and the mother admitted she lacks breastmilk and they haven't bought any formula for the baby. 

Pat Taoaquen, also a breastfeeding mom offered to gave her milk to the baby until it calmed him down.

Thank you Pat. Taoaquen and NUP Ugan for the gesture of spontaneous love you have shown to the family and for breastfeeding the baby. 

You are a wonder women that deserve our respect and commendation.
