00:00The fires are on the left and right again because things are quickly getting hot.
00:09A while ago, a jeepney driver borrowed P300,000 from his grandchildren for his new house.
00:25Now, the heat of the moment has entered and many of us.
00:31The electric fan is not dead.
00:38But be careful.
00:41Especially what the investigators are looking at right now
00:44in the blazing fire that once burned in Barangay Fort Bonifacio in Taguig City.
00:50An overheating fan.
00:56There are more than 50 families affected.
01:00None of us have any belongings left.
01:02The family of the jeepney driver, Mark.
01:05How many years have we been saving all our belongings?
01:08Bus, all of it, none of it, we didn't save anything.
01:10This fire, along with the burned jeepney, is what he is going to buy for his secondhand jeep.
01:18He even borrowed P300,000.
01:22The money is all gone.
01:23I was just staring at it.
01:25All the things you borrowed are gone.
01:27All of a sudden, my family's plan is gone.
01:31Will Mark be able to exchange the burned money for jeepney?
01:44This Tuesday, while Mark was passing by.
01:47Maybe my children were just walking around and someone called me.
01:51Friend, your house is on fire.
01:52I called my wife, but I couldn't reach her.
01:56This is where Mark was dropping off his passengers and he was rushing home.
02:04When I entered, there was a thick smoke.
02:06I could see the front of our house was on fire.
02:09I couldn't see my wife.
02:11I was scared.
02:12Of course, my children are still small.
02:13What happened to them? Are they dead?
02:15Sorry, please.
02:19One of my cousins told me,
02:21Toll, your family is already there.
02:23They are safe.
02:24That's where I was able to live again.
02:26I ran to them.
02:27I cried.
02:29Of course, I felt sorry for them.
02:30They were still young.
02:31That kind of trauma happened to them right away.
02:35The fire was declared as a fire-out at 12 o'clock in the afternoon.
02:40That's where the money sank into me.
02:43That's when my wife started crying.
02:45I couldn't get the money.
02:46I took it from Yoni.
02:47I lost it in my mind.
02:48I told her,
02:49It's just money.
02:50It's better than losing your child.
02:53Mark returned the house they had dropped off.
02:58Hoping that he can recover the money.
03:03I hope there's still something left to live.
03:12When I went to the market,
03:13I saw that the money was broken.
03:16I felt like I was drowning there.
03:24It's good that we were able to save money.
03:27How can we buy things?
03:28We don't have money.
03:29How can we have a place to live?
03:33We don't have a house anymore.
03:35What Mark is most concerned about now
03:38are the burnt money he saved.
03:41Some of these are almost gone.
03:45Only a few are left.
03:49The 1,000 pesos of polymer banknotes
03:52or money made from plastic
03:54were scattered and stuck together.
03:57It's a waste.
03:58It's a waste.
04:00It's the first time we can hold that kind of money
04:02and it's gone.
04:03It's like starting from zero.
04:05Here at the evacuation center in their barangay,
04:08Mark is temporarily locked up
04:10along with his two children
04:12and his wife, May,
04:14who is six months pregnant.
04:16We don't know when we'll be able to leave this place
04:20and where we'll be going.
04:23The burnt money he saved
04:25was wrapped in plastic
04:28and stuck in a plastic container.
04:30This is where I put the money.
04:32When I go to sleep,
04:33sometimes I put it aside.
04:35Sometimes I hide it.
04:36I just want to stay here.
04:38Mark has been a jeepney driver for three years.
04:41I have an extra jeepney.
04:43I bring different types of jeepneys.
04:45Sometimes it's a friend's jeepney.
04:46Sometimes it's a comrade's jeepney.
04:48In the afternoons,
04:50he says his income is often short.
04:53I only earn 2,500 pesos.
04:54Sometimes I earn 800 pesos.
04:56Sometimes it's a friend's jeepney.
04:58Sometimes I earn 800 pesos.
05:00Sometimes I borrow 800 pesos.
05:02I only earn that much.
05:03That's my income for my family.
05:05So Mark borrowed money
05:07to buy a second-hand jeepney.
05:10I was able to borrow 300 pesos
05:12because I loaned it to my husband's uncle.
05:14So we can have our own house.
05:17We saved that money for a long time.
05:19He loaned the rest of the money to his company.
05:22He was able to pay it back every month.
05:24We were planning to build a house in the province.
05:27But Mark needed money
05:29because he's my husband's nephew.
05:30So we borrowed money from him.
05:32Because we're a family,
05:33we should help each other.
05:36It's very important.
05:38We saved that money for a long time.
05:40And that's how it happened.
05:43Who wouldn't cry?
05:47On the other side of the face-out jeepney,
05:50Mark was able to buy
05:52a second-hand traditional jeepney
05:55that was consolidated
05:57and is now part of the cooperative.
06:00That means,
06:01he will still be able to travel.
06:04So I don't mind buying it.
06:06I will still be able to use the jeepney.
06:12If you don't consolidate by bank,
06:14they will consider you a clue room.
06:16You don't have the right to travel.
06:18Because under modernization,
06:20I will only be a member of the cooperative.
06:22Php 600,000 to Php 700,000
06:24is the rehabilitation
06:26of a traditional jeepney.
06:28Php 985,000
06:29is the cost of a modern jeep.
06:31Some jeepneys cost up to Php 2.2 million.
06:34That's painful.
06:35Even if the payment is done,
06:37the unit will not be mine.
06:39Because the unit is not named.
06:42If it's not named,
06:43it will go to the corporation or the cooperative.
06:46That's what the operators don't want.
06:49That's why they don't want to join the program.
06:51Because you will lose your property.
06:54You will lose your livelihood.
06:56The money will be planted.
06:57The loan money
06:58was given to Mark
07:00on Monday.
07:01I didn't give the money
07:03when I didn't have the papers of the vehicle.
07:06Because the papers of the jeep and the deed of sale
07:08came from Bicol.
07:10He told me,
07:11tomorrow we will pay there.
07:13My wife hid it in my son's bag.
07:16Then she hid it in a bag
07:18with pants.
07:20She hid it there.
07:24On Tuesday afternoon,
07:26they talked to the buyer
07:28to pay
07:29and get the vehicle.
07:33But it happened.
07:34It was burned.
07:36There are money safes that can be bought.
07:39Waterproof.
07:40But of course, it's a bit expensive.
07:41The best way still is in the bank.
07:43There is a third party
07:44who can protect our money.
07:46Who will insure your money.
07:51Especially last year,
07:53when their eldest son, Uni, was hospitalized
07:55because of an infection in his blood.
07:57In our 4 days,
07:58we have a bill of P165,000.
08:01We are just balancing
08:02our balance
08:04which is P65,000.
08:06Until now,
08:07we haven't paid yet.
08:09It's hard because
08:10we haven't been able to wake up last year.
08:12We are just about to wake up.
08:14We are just about to wake up.
08:15And then,
08:16we will be burned.
08:18All our savings are gone.
08:20All of a sudden.
08:23We talked to my uncle's wife.
08:24They told us,
08:25let's just talk about the money.
08:28Let's talk about your life first.
08:31Meanwhile,
08:32the jeep that Mark was supposed to buy
08:34was sold to someone else.
08:36So he was just in a hurry
08:38to exchange the burned money
08:40so that he can get it back
08:42from his debt.
08:44I'm very thankful
08:45that I can exchange it.
08:47I don't know where I can get
08:49that kind of money.
08:52According to the Banco Central ng Pilipinas,
08:55or BSP,
08:56they can still exchange
08:58their mutilated banknotes
09:01or lost money.
09:04On the other hand,
09:05the burned money,
09:06like the one Mark was holding,
09:07can only be exchanged
09:09according to their criteria.
09:11In the condition
09:12of Mark's recovered burned money,
09:14is there anything else that can be exchanged?
09:18This Friday,
09:19our team accompanied Mark
09:21to the BSP.
09:28For the 300,000 pesos
09:30that he borrowed from the burned money,
09:33how many can be exchanged?
09:36If there are any.
09:39I hope that they will give me
09:41the money that I can exchange
09:43so that I can solve my problem.
09:49I don't know what's inside.
09:51I'm also shocked.
09:53Next!
09:57To find out
09:58if there is anything else that can be exchanged
10:00from the burned money,
10:02from the 300,000 pesos that Mark borrowed
10:05from the jeepney driver,
10:07our team accompanied him
10:09to the BSP,
10:10or Banco Central ng Pilipinas,
10:13If I can exchange it,
10:14I will be very grateful.
10:17The money was accepted by the BSP.
10:23However,
10:24they will not give an interview
10:26on their assessment
10:28on how much they can exchange.
10:31They will study this further.
10:34The size should be 60% or 60%
10:37of the burned money.
10:41Second,
10:42the signature.
10:43The signature should have
10:45any remaining portion
10:48or part of the BSP Governor's
10:50or President of the Philippines' signature.
10:54Third,
10:55the security thread
10:57that should be seen in the burned money.
10:59They will call me
11:00for approximately 20 days
11:03to find out the result.
11:05Earlier,
11:06Banco Central himself told me
11:08that the burned money should be 60%.
11:12I was shocked inside.
11:14The amount of money that I brought
11:16was only 40% or 50%.
11:19Some of the burned money
11:20was half of the burned money.
11:21Some of the burned money
11:22was not even half of the burned money.
11:23I was really stressed.
11:25I didn't know
11:26what to do.
11:28I couldn't exchange it.
11:30A lot of things were going through my head.
11:33However,
11:34the two security threads
11:38and my signature,
11:40I believe that if they give it to me,
11:42I will be able to exchange the money
11:45so that my problem will be reduced.
11:50So that we can somehow
11:52get out of poverty.
11:55I hope that you will help me.
11:59Meanwhile,
12:00to start something,
12:03the local government of Taguig
12:05gave financial assistance to them.
12:07This was also added by our program.
12:10It really doesn't matter
12:11if you are in poverty
12:12instead of being burned.
12:13It's really zero balance.
12:15It's back to zero.
12:16To our good people,
12:18I hope that you will help us
12:19all who were burned in our place.
12:22Help me with the money that was burned.
12:24I didn't want it
12:26to go to waste.
12:30I hope that you will help us.
12:34Money!
12:35It's gone!
12:38It really doesn't matter
12:39if you are in poverty
12:41instead of being burned.
