00:00Because of the explosion of the LPG, a house in Binondo, Manila was burned down.
00:0611 people were killed, including the wife of the owner of the carinderia where the fire started.
00:12Here is my report.
00:17More than a century ago, Nori's father lost his carinderia in Binondo, Manila.
00:24He lost three of his children, including his wife.
00:28He was at the market when the incident happened.
00:31I ran right away, but there was no problem.
00:35When I arrived, it was already burned.
00:38It was gone.
00:40It was gone.
00:43It was gone.
00:50I was supposed to be with them.
00:54That's how he managed to see the bodies of his children while going out of the house.
01:01That's why he had to ride an ambulance.
01:04Nori's father is the owner of the carinderia where the LPG exploded,
01:09but the DFP is still verifying it.
01:12This is the carinderia that was burned down here in Binondo.
01:16In fact, the food they sold this morning is already out.
01:22According to those who witnessed and lived nearby, they heard a loud explosion.
01:28Then, the fire spread quickly to the higher floor.
01:33The fire reached the second alarm at 7 a.m. and lasted for more than two hours.
01:40Eleven people were trapped in the house.
01:43They were just in the bedroom, in the bedding.
01:45The fire got bigger and they were already in the room.
01:47Those who were on the table, they were still lying down when we saw them.
01:51Some of the carinderia's boarders were also trapped.
01:55According to the DFP, the windows were full of grills, so the victims were not able to get out of there.
02:01Following the incident, Mayor Hani Lacuna inspected all the houses in Manila
02:07that have been built for more than 15 years.
02:10If they comply with the National Building Code and Revised Fire Code of the Philippines,
02:16DILG Secretary Benher Abalos said that those who went to the area should be held accountable.
