00:11The first alarm was raised by the Bureau of Fire Protection.
00:14Four firetrucks responded, as well as fire volunteers.
00:19Some firefighters were placed on the roof to bring water to the area.
00:24Residents also helped. The fire was extinguished after more than 20 minutes.
00:29When I looked, there was smoke there. I looked at the old man. He had fire at the end.
00:35Then I shouted at the old man, why didn't you go out? I said, it's on fire.
00:39Then I threw them all here. All the people, I shouted at them. It's on fire, I said.
00:44The 84-year-old grandmother who owns the house was saved.
00:48She said she was going to sleep when the incident happened. She lives alone there.
00:54I just woke up. There was fire. It was big.
00:58Where did the fire break out?
01:01At the altar.
01:03Meanwhile, she continues to live in Barangay Hall of Barangay 18. She was not saved from the fire.
01:08For someone like me, it's very difficult. Even my money was burned there.
01:16In my bag. Even my ID here in the barangay was burned.
01:23I hope that those who are in charge of my life can help me.
01:33Because I was not saved.
01:36The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire and the overall significance of the incident.
