00:24Residents of Barangay 458 in Sampaloc, Manila woke up early this morning at 5 a.m.

00:40The fire was immediately raised to the first alarm,

00:43which reached the fourth alarm at 5 p.m.

00:47This means that firetrucks are not allowed to go below 16 a.m.

00:52Residents had to discard their belongings one by one.

00:56Some of them lost their loved ones and children.

01:01We woke up at the back of the house.

01:05When we looked out the window, our house was right behind us.

01:09So we couldn't save anyone.

01:12I had to take my children with me.

01:14The things that we saved, I saved because I'm a single mother.

01:19According to barangay officials, the fire was caused by a candle.

01:23There was a child who came out.

01:26And we also saw that their house was on fire.

01:31He wasn't able to speak.

01:33So, of course, when we looked out the window,

01:38the fire was really big.

01:41So we really couldn't survive.

01:44According to the BFP, more than 100 houses were affected by the fire,

01:48and 300 families or 1,000 individuals were affected.

01:52A woman was injured after jumping from the third floor of her house away from the fire.

01:59This is the residential area that was hit by the fire.

02:02Some of the residents there, their house was built on the third floor,

02:06and it completely collapsed.

02:08The iron that you see there,

02:10the houses on the second floor are all made of iron.

02:13The area consists of informal settlers.

02:17So their houses are mostly made of light materials,

02:23which we know can easily catch fire.

02:27According to the BFP, the cost of the fire was around P750,000.
