MANILA - Philippine officials have arrested an American woman for attempting to carry a six-day-old baby out of the country hidden inside a shoulder bag.

The bureau said in a statement on Thursday that Talbot presented an affidavit, allegedly from the baby's mother, giving consent for the baby to travel to the US, but it had not been signed by the mother.Talbot was subsequently charged with human trafficking.
