在菲律宾机场，一名美国妇女的手提行李里有一个婴儿

An American woman is in custody in the Philippines after she allegedly tried to fly out of the country with a baby in her hand luggage, local authorities said.

当地政府称，一名美国妇女涉嫌携带婴儿飞离菲律宾，目前在菲律宾被拘留。

Philippines Immigration Bureau spokesman Melvin Mabulac said they received a report about 6.20am Wednesday that a 43-year-old woman had been caught with a child in her bag at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.

菲律宾移民局发言人梅尔文·马布拉克表示，他们在周三早上6点20分左右收到一份报告，称一名43岁的妇女在马尼拉尼诺阿基诺国际机场被抓获，她的包里有一个孩子。

CNN Philippines said the baby was just six days old.

菲律宾有线电视新闻网说，这名婴儿只有六天大。

According to Mabulac, the woman appeared to be traveling alone and only presented her personal passport. But when staff inspected an oversized carry-on suitcase, they found the child inside.

据Mabulac说，这名女子似乎是独自旅行，只出示了她的个人护照。但是当工作人员检查一个超大的随身行李箱时，他们发现里面有一个孩子。

"She did not have any travel documents for the infant," the spokesman said.

发言人说:“她没有携带婴儿的任何旅行证件。”

The woman had claimed to be the child's aunt, but had not provided any evidence that they were related, CNN Philippines reported.

据美国有线电视新闻网(cnn)菲律宾报道，这名女子曾声称是孩子的姑姑，但没有提供任何证据证明他们有亲属关系。

The case has been handed over to the Philippines National Bureau of Investigation's Anti-Human Trafficking Division.

此案已移交菲律宾国家调查局反人口贩运司。
