00:00At the evacuation center, more than 100 families were burned in Cavite.
00:07There was a lot of smoke, especially for most of them.
00:10No one was able to save their belongings.
00:12And Daniel Tingcunco was able to talk.
00:17A huge fire broke out that woke up 120 families in this part of Pagasatres
00:23on the boundary of Kawit and Imus Cavite this morning.
00:26Oh my God, it's getting stronger.
00:29No one was injured or burned.
00:32A lot of people were not able to save their belongings.
00:35It was two days before Christmas.
00:37When I got home from Cortina, I saw the fire.
00:43We had to move to our house.
00:46We only had a wall of plywood.
00:51I was going to the other door to get the computer.
00:56We were not able to save our belongings.
00:58It happened so fast.
00:59Anna's family was worried that it might get worse.
01:03But that was their only hope.
01:05They did not leave anything for the fire.
01:08I didn't think about tomorrow.
01:10I was blank for everything.
01:14I didn't have a plan because there was nothing left for us.
01:18Zero.
01:20All my hard work, my husband's hard work.
01:23It's all gone.
01:25At Tinabunan Elementary School,
01:27one of the three fire evacuation centers,
01:31we met Margie.
01:33And for the first time, we saw a toy that was saved from the fire.
01:37A teddy bear whose foot was burned.
01:39Like Anna, Margie was not saved,
01:42but her children's papers.
01:44It's all in my head.
01:46It's important that we are all safe.
01:48We are all alive.
01:50Until now, the firefighters are still blank
01:52Even though the fire started yesterday,
01:54their investigation is still ongoing.
01:56Our investigation is still ongoing.
01:58It's not the first time that there was a fire.
02:00They have a history.
02:01Most of the time, it was an unattended candle.
02:03That was the latest responding in 2019.
02:08The LGU of Imus has already distributed financial aid,
02:11clothes, personal belongings, and food to those who were burned.
02:14They will also replace the packages that were first given,
02:18but they also took the fire.
