00:00Good afternoon, it's time for the hot news.
00:29Some of the Philippine General Hospital's early patients were burned this morning.
00:35Some of the confined patients were forced to leave the hospital.
00:39The hot news is brought to you by James Agustin.
00:44Yes sir, where do we go sir?
00:45Patients were evacuated from the outpatient department after a fire broke out
00:49in the compound of the Philippine General Hospital around 6 a.m.
00:53Some were riding stretchers, some were in wheelchairs.
00:57Edeline is with her husband who has a check-up at the neurologist.
01:01They've been in the hospital since 3 a.m.
01:04When we entered, they told us that we can't continue because there's a fire in the ward.
01:11That's why we all went outside.
01:14Ms. Perlita from Pantagi has a laboratory test.
01:18There was a lot of smoke in the back.
01:21That's why the tents were evacuated by the guards.
01:25They said, what are you doing there?
01:28They told me because I was surprised.
01:31The fire reached the second alarm.
01:33Rumisponde is in the 13th firetruck of the Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:37aside from the fire volunteer group.
01:39The fire broke out at 7 a.m.
01:42In the initial investigation, the Manila Fire District burned the so-called call room
01:46in Mezanin, the main building.
01:48We are involved in Mezanin, which is a doctor's quarters where our doctors rest.
01:59We are involved in the overheating of the air-conditioning.
02:06Maybe due to overuse, that's why there was an overheating.
02:12No one was injured in the incident.
02:15The initial cost of the tent was P15,000.
02:18At 7.23 p.m., the patients were again admitted to the outpatient department.
02:23Dolores' cousin, who has a check-up in Buto,
02:25was taken to the ambulance to be taken back to Cavite.
02:28They will reschedule it next week.
02:31Of course, we are afraid.
02:33It's a good thing that we are not inside yet.
02:35My patient is in a stretcher.
02:37It's hard to stretch.
02:39The PGH has yet to issue an order.
02:42James Agustin reporting for Jimmy Integrated News.
02:47We have a call from the Philippine General Hospital this morning.
02:50We will talk to the PGH spokesperson, Dr. Jonas Del Rosario.
02:55Good morning and welcome to Balitang Hali.
02:58Good morning, Connie. Thank you for having me.
03:01Okay. What steps is the PGH taking for the patients who were evacuated because of the fire this morning?
03:09Actually, Connie, at first there was a small fire and then it was extinguished.
03:16The fire was actually contained in one room, in the mezzanine,
03:23the call room of our residents.
03:26There was no fire in the kitchen, walls, or flooring.
03:32Mostly, what was extinguished were office materials.
03:37However, there was smoke.
03:41So, the patients in Wards 1 and 3 had to be evacuated.
03:46They were placed in our atrium.
03:49But now, they have been brought back.
03:52All of the patients have been brought back to where they came from.
03:56And there was no problem with their health, with the patients who were evacuated?
04:03There was no smoke inhalation injury or their health deteriorated.
04:10That's the report from the wards where they came from.
04:19It's good because the people who responded had some connection to the fire drill.
04:27That's why it was easy to evacuate the patients who were in the wards.
04:32The patients who...
04:35because the place where they were burned was behind Wards 1 and 3.
04:41It was near the OPD.
04:44That's why, for a while, the OPD was closed.
04:50I think the patients were told to close the outpatient.
04:55But now, the OPD is open again.
04:58So, the operation is normal in all the departments of Inupong Hospital?
05:02That's right.
05:04Earlier, you said that the damage was not that big.
05:10As you said, only the affected areas were affected.
05:14But aside from that, are you also looking at other facilities?
05:19Maybe there is a need to do something.
05:23Particularly in the wiring, because the PGH has been there for a long time, right?
05:26And it was burned several times.
05:28That's right.
05:29Actually, if you remember, a few months back, there was also a fire in the PGH.
05:33Yes.
05:34Actually, it was in a place near there.
05:37That's why there is a continuous rehabilitation project, including inspecting the wiring.
05:43Yes.
05:44So it's ongoing.
05:45Actually, the area where it was burned is just being renovated.
05:53So it doesn't look like there's a fire.
05:57That's why we are still investigating.
05:59We are trying to find out why there was a fire there.
06:03Earlier, you said it was near Ercon.
06:05Is Ercon also old?
06:07It's not yet.
06:08It's not yet, sir.
06:09It's not yet.
06:10We're waiting for the official report of the FD.
06:14All right.
06:15Thank you very much for your update.
06:17Be careful to all the patients there.
06:20Thank you, Connie.
06:22That was PGH Spokesperson, Dr. Jonas Del Rosario.
45:42One hundred days to go nalang ngayong ho nga Si Moi nakapasko na talaga In Demand daw
45:44ang lambing diba?
45:45Turuyan.
45:46Ang Fur Mommy sa Osam II City Misamil Soksidental, hindi rawi mabubusan niyan dahil sa
45:53kanyang alagang aswon.
45:55Eh, paano ba naman ang aswo na s'i AXi certified?
46:00Klingy?
46:01Naman.
46:02That's the viral TikTok video of Fur Mommy Emily with Axie while cooking.
46:07Emily's story is that Axie was hungry but because he was busy,
46:12Fur Baby took care of him first.
46:16It's rare for a pet dog to be clingy.
46:19But when Emily comes from the market,
46:22Axie should be the first one to notice.
46:26If not, she'll get mad.
46:28If he wants to be pampered, puppy eyes are the key.
46:33Fur Baby's clinginess is very popular among netizens.
46:38That's why it's trending!
46:41My dog is also like that.
46:43Clingy but I love it.
46:47When your dog is like that, it means that you are their world.
46:52I also learned that there are two types of dogs.
46:54When they have an eye contact, it means they trust each other.
47:00That's why when I leave, they don't look at me.
47:05But that's good.
47:06They don't want to be left behind.
47:08I can bring my dog here.
47:10Why not?
47:13Let's try it.
47:14This is Balitang Hali.
47:15We are part of the bigger mission.
47:17It's Christmas time!
