MANILA: The babies of 13 Philippine women pardoned and sent home by Cambodia after being convicted and jailed over an outlawed surrogate motherhood scheme may be put up for adoption, the government said Monday (Dec 30).

Ten pregnant Filipinas and three others with babies flew home to Manila on Sunday, three days after being pardoned by the Cambodian king, which nullified their four-year jail terms.
