00:00 A minor sister was killed in a fire in Mandaluyong City.

00:04 She was with 200 family members.

00:07 Vel Custodio was in the center of the news.

00:10 This woman was shaking and trembling after her children were burned alive.

00:18 A 16-year-old woman and a 4-year-old man were trapped inside the house.

00:25 The mother of the victims, Annalyn Espinocilia, also appeared in front of the camera.

00:30 But according to our investigation, her children were sleeping on the second floor of their house when the fire happened.

00:37 Her eldest son could have been saved, but he chose to return to the city.

00:42 Her children were not able to do their mother's last rites.

00:45 The wooden frame on the second floor was damaged.

00:49 Her younger brother, who was holding her, was holding her.

00:55 According to witnesses in the barangay, the two children were barely recognized when their bodies were retrieved.

01:02 They were burned alive and only their skin was left.

01:06 This is the situation of the fire that happened last night.

01:10 People were confused because of the fire that raised up to 50 houses in the barangay population of Mandaluyong City.

01:17 The fire spread quickly.

01:19 After 10 minutes, the second alarm was set.

01:24 I rushed to the fire scene.

01:27 I saw that the fire was already big because the house that was affected or the one that was burned was made of light materials.

01:35 The water of the firemen's house was also trapped in the second alarm.

01:40 The road was narrow and the hydrants were weak.

01:46 So, earlier, the fire was okay but when we ran out of water, the fire kept on growing.

01:59 So, we called for help from various places so that we can get more water.

02:12 At present, the residents of the barangay's evacuation center are always affected by the fire.

02:18 Mang Renato is one of the affected residents.

02:21 He returned his house but it was already covered by the fire.

02:25 That night, the fire started.

02:28 My son and I woke up and heard a noise.

02:35 When I looked at the Jelousy in our window, I saw that there was a fire.

02:40 We went down to the house.

02:43 We did not have any clothes because the fire was already big.

02:51 Based on the latest reports, more than 200 people were affected by the fire.

02:55 One person suffered minor injury and was brought to the nearest hospital.

03:00 The damage of the incident was worth more than a million pesos.

03:04 The fire was declared out by 2 o'clock.
