On October 31, 2011, in Manila, Philippines, Camile Galura holds her newborn daughter, Danica May Camacho. Danica is the world's 7 billionth resident, having been born shortly before at the local Dr. Jose Fabella Memorial Hospital. As one of the symbolic 7 billionth residents of the world, the birth of little Danica May Camacho is significant for more than just her parents.
Danica weighed 5 pounds and 5 ounces at birth and was brought out of the hospital's delivery room surrounded by camera flashes.
Her mother, Camile, said: "She looks so lovely. I can't believe she is the 7 billionth baby in the world."
Senior United Nations officials visited the Philippines to see the child and her parents, bringing a small cake as a gift.
Local donors also presented many gifts, including scholarships for the child's future education and funds to help the Camacho family open a grocery store.
This baby is one of several infants predicted to be the symbolic 7 billionth person. The United Nations has issued an announcement stating that the global population is expected to reach 7 billion by October 31.
Danica was expected to be born at midnight, but she arrived two minutes early.
