00:00The local government of Manila inspected the houses in the village that have been built for 15 years or more.
00:07This is the next important fire in Binondo where 11 people were burned.
00:13Witness, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:19Last Saturday morning, a fire broke out on Carvajal Street in Binondo, Manila.
00:24It reached the second alarm until the fire was declared under control at 9.31 in the morning.
00:30When the Bureau of Fire Protection entered the area,
00:3311 people were trapped inside the house.
00:39This is the kitchen that was said to have been set on fire.
00:42As you can see here, the food that they sold this morning is already out.
00:48According to those who live and sell nearby,
00:51they heard a loud explosion and the fire spread quickly to the higher floor.
00:58And according to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:0011 people were found dead on the second floor and on the mezzanine of this house.
01:07The LPG of the kitchen was believed to have exploded, which was even verified by the BFP.
01:13They were just in the bedroom, in the bedding.
01:17It means that they did not see that the fire had already increased and they were already trapped.
01:22Those on the mezzanine, sir, they were still in bed when we saw them.
01:27No one was separated from them.
01:30I was just wondering why they were running next to us in the canteen.
01:34I said, why? What happened?
01:36When I looked, the fire was already big.
01:39Now, I would like to respond.
01:41I will get wet to cover the LPG.
01:43I was caught.
01:44I was just about to reach the fire.
01:47Around 11 in the morning, the burnt bodies of the victims started to come out.
01:53Some relatives and friends were allowed to enter the area.
01:57Mr. was one of the owners of the canteen.
02:01Because he did not pay the fees, he had to ride an ambulance.
02:06Some of the boarders who lived on the upper floor of the canteen were also among the owners.
02:10Here on the third floor, no one was really saved.
02:14It was a woman and a man.
02:16They did not have any children here.
02:18The only one I have is my cousin.
02:20The boarders of the canteen were mostly women.
02:25The wife of the owner of the canteen was also with them.
02:29The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire and if the so-called house is haunted.
02:35Exits are sufficient enough.
02:38It is still made of wood.
02:42The hallways and exits are a bit obstructed.
02:47For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
