00:00 Two people were at home when the explosion in Cabuyao, Laguna happened.
00:05 Some people were critically injured.
00:08 Noel Talacay was there to discuss the details live. Noel?
00:11 Rise and shine, Audrey.
00:16 I'm here at the place where the explosion happened.
00:22 I'll show you the area where the house of the workers lived.
00:31 That's where it was burned.
00:33 Next to it, you can see the scattered cartons where they make the fireworks.
00:44 The compound is wide and the area where the fireworks were made is now destroyed.
00:56 But last night, Audrey confirmed that the two people were injured.
01:01 In this video, you can hear the explosions.
01:08 The firecrackers were made in Cabuyao, Laguna at 3.30pm.
01:16 A child was later released.
01:19 She was carried by a man.
01:22 The victim's skin was scabby and she could barely move.
01:26 She was immediately taken to the hospital.
01:30 This woman was paralyzed and could not speak.
01:35 Her husband was confirmed to be with the people who were burned.
01:40 But Leona was confirmed to be with the injured.
01:45 What was her identity?
01:47 Hikaw.
01:49 Hikaw.
01:50 Who was wearing the hikaw?
01:53 My husband.
01:54 She was also told that her husband could not take care of her eldest child.
02:01 She was also concerned about where she would get the money to pay for the funeral
02:05 and how to bring the body of the victim home to Mindanao.
02:10 We don't have money.
02:13 We don't have money.
02:15 We've been in the DMO for five months.
02:17 According to the initial report of the barangay,
02:19 two men were injured in the incident.
02:22 While two men were minors and one was married, the situation was critical.
02:27 Eight people were injured and were taken to the nearest hospital.
02:33 I called my relative.
02:35 Maybe someone knows my relative.
02:43 Raymond Rodja, Brian Raymondo Dia, Mylyn Taradido.
02:49 Maybe someone knows my relative.
02:53 It is still being investigated as to why the bombs exploded.
02:57 The next explosion was very powerful.
03:06 The owner of the construction of the bombs in the barangay or PNP still has no information.
03:13 I hope the PNP and we can get information so we can help solve this incident.
03:23 Audrey, just an update on the number of people who were injured.
03:28 Earlier, there were two people injured in my report.
03:30 Now, it is confirmed that there is one more injured employee.
03:36 His name is Ricardo Ulik-Ulik.
03:40 We are still asking Audrey if she will give a permit to operate the bomb again.
03:50 According to the captain, this is not the first time this has happened.
03:56 Audrey?
03:57 Noel, there were many people who were injured.
04:00 Is there any additional help from the local government of Cabuyaw?
04:04 And also from the owner of the factory.
04:06 The problem now, Audrey, is that the owner of the construction of the bombs
04:16 still has no information from the barangay, PNP, or local government units.
04:22 As for the help, the residents here are not from here.
04:29 They are from Quezon.
04:31 So, they are having a hard time coordinating with the relatives of the residents here in Quezon Province.
04:40 Audrey?
04:41 I have a few questions.
04:44 Was it revealed in the investigation that the sun hair was the reason for the fire in the factory?
04:51 The reason for the fire is because there were explosions.
05:01 What they are now finding out is why the explosions happened.
05:06 You mentioned earlier that this is not the only incident.
05:10 What were the previous incidents that caused the explosion, Noel?
05:15 You're right, Jan.
05:20 There were explosions before, but not like now,
05:25 where many were affected, many were injured, and some neighbors were injured.
05:31 There were explosions before, but they were very quick.
05:35 But now, it's the worst.
05:37 But the same factory, was it there, Noel?
05:40 Yes.
05:41 You're right, Jan.
05:45 Okay.
05:46 Maybe the authorities should look into this.
05:49 Because this incident should not happen again.
05:52 And it's right to look into this, if the so-called factory needs to be given a permit again.
05:57 Now, I turn over again to Audrey.
05:58 We will talk about the update if the owner of that factory can be identified.
06:04 We'll talk about it later.
06:05 Thank you very much, Noel Talacay.
