00:00A part of a school in Malabon was burned down last night.
00:08The Bureau of Fire Protection of the Electrical System of Gusali will investigate where the fire happened.
00:13Live from Malabon, we have the first news, James Agustin.
00:17James, is the classroom suspended?
00:22Ivan, good morning.
00:25Yes, the face-to-face classes here at Tinajeros Elementary School in Malabon are suspended for now.
00:31But modular learning is being carried out for the students.
00:35This means that through modules, the students can study at their homes
00:41and do their assignments that their teachers will give them.
00:45Ivan, the authorities are continuing their investigation to find out the source of the fire
00:50that hit some classrooms here at the school.
00:57Residents were shocked by the sudden fire in the area of Tinajeros Elementary School in Malabon
01:03until 11 o'clock last night.
01:08The first alarm was raised.
01:10Three fire trucks of the Bureau of Fire Protection responded.
01:13Eight fire volunteer groups responded.
01:15It lasted for almost 30 minutes before the fire was completely extinguished.
01:19I heard someone shouting for help.
01:22When I went out, I called the people there to call for rescue.
01:28When I went there, I saw a big fire.
01:32Mark, the security guard of the school, almost fell from the right side of the burned classroom.
01:38He was helped by a barangay man who was really injured.
01:41We were shocked because there was a sudden fire.
01:46We tried to put out the fire, but it was too big.
01:51We couldn't handle it.
01:53I told them to turn off all the breakers.
01:55I will take care of the gate so that all the firemen can enter.
01:58According to the BFP, two classrooms were hit,
02:01a storage room and a comfort room at the top floor of the veterans' building.
02:06They also extinguished the source of the fire.
02:08It was under the investigation of our ASO so that we can be safe.
02:13It was difficult because when we arrived, one of the rooms was totally burned.
02:18But we were able to handle it.
02:22According to the BFP, the electrical system of the building where the fire happened should be investigated first.
02:28Because of the incident, the face-to-face classes of the students today were canceled at Tenejeros Elementary School.
02:35Modular learning will be conducted first.
02:38We will close it first because we will check the electrical system to see what effect it has.
02:48Meanwhile, the BFP members returned to Tenejeros Elementary School this morning
02:54for further investigation.
02:57Even though the school announced that the face-to-face classes will be suspended,
03:02we noticed that some students are still attending school this morning.
03:07That is the latest situation.
03:09From Malabon, I am James Agustin for Jimmy Integrated News.
03:13James, how many classrooms were burned in a month?
03:16How will the management of the school be discarded?
03:19We are almost done.
03:25Yes, Ivan.
03:26According to the BFP, two classrooms were affected,
03:29aside from the storage room and the comfort room.
03:32We tried to get the management of the school first
03:35on how it will be discarded.
03:37But they still have nothing to say to us.
03:39But definitely, this morning,
03:42this entire building will not be used as a part of the compound of the school.
03:49Because it is not only the electrical system that needs to be checked by the authorities,
03:53but also the integrity of this building.
03:56Until last night, when it was fired out,
04:00a portion of this building still fell.
04:04Ivan.
04:05Thank you very much, James Agustin.
