00:00Sampaloc residents in Manila woke up early this morning
00:05when 300 families were found dead in their homes.
00:09According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
00:11more than 500 incidents of fire in the Philippines were reported this January.
00:16Almost 100 of them happened here in Metro Manila.
00:19Here's the hot news brought to you by EJ Gomez.
00:24Residents of Barangay 458 in Sampaloc, Manila woke up early this morning at 5 a.m.
00:34Firefighters had a hard time extinguishing the flames that hit the homes on Sulucan Street.
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.
02:34EJ Gomez reporting for GMA Integrated News.
02:44Landslides occurred in some parts of the country in the middle of the rainy season.
02:49In Santa Magdalena, Sorsogon,
02:52a part of a mountain collapsed on the road.
02:56It is part of the Uba quarry site that was once the site of the landslide.
03:01Many vehicles were not able to pass through and were swept away.
03:04Some residents who were stranded were forced to cross the landslides.
03:10The good news is that the clearing operation in the area was completed before dusk yesterday.
03:15There was also a landslide in Barangay Bugis, San Jose, Abad Santos, Davao Occidental.
03:20Local officials immediately ordered motorists to evacuate the area.
03:25According to Pag-asa,

03:46Some parts of the country will also experience rain based on the rainfall forecast of Metro Weather.
03:52Residents were alerted about floods or landslides.
03:55The chance of rain here in Metro Manila is low.

05:15116 days before the election of 2025, 85 people were arrested for violating the election gun ban.
05:31According to the monitoring of the PNP, most of them are civilians.
05:35Three security guards were also arrested,
05:38one from the Bureau of Corrections,
05:40one appointed government official,
05:42and two soldiers on off-duty.
05:4586 guns were confiscated by the police.
05:49Now, the gun ban is in effect.
05:51It is prohibited to bring guns and weapons even if it is registered
05:54and has a license to carry firearms outside of residence.
05:58There must be an approved gun ban exemption from the Commission on Elections
06:03so that it will not be caught.
06:05Commuter or motorist will be prohibited due to the heavy traffic in Metro Manila.
06:14According to one study, two cities in the LCR are on the list of the slowest traffic in the world.
06:23This is the news of James Agustin.
06:27A factory worker named Ricardo from Monumento, Caloocan,
06:31came from Malabon.
06:33He has two vehicles to get to his job in Paranaque.
06:37It takes him two and a half hours to get there because of the traffic.
06:41He is just about to enter the city.
06:43It's hard. It's really hard.
06:48It's really hard.
06:51You just get there because of the traffic.
06:55Even if you get out, you will be stuck in traffic for a long time.
07:03Mario, a maintenance personnel, also traveled for almost an hour
07:07from Malabon to Manila.
07:09That's why he wakes up early every day so that he won't be stuck in traffic.
07:14It's hard, but it's just hard.
07:17It's hard to travel because it's just for the family.
07:19It's hard because of the traffic.
07:21Especially at 6 in the afternoon.
07:23Of course, you have to go home.
07:25It's really traffic.
07:26Even if it's just for an hour, you won't be gone for an hour.
07:31It's like there's no day when there's less traffic.
07:34Drivers of public vehicles feel that more.
07:37It's too much.
07:38It's not even 50 minutes.
07:41Especially in the afternoon, it takes more than an hour.
07:47Sometimes, it takes two hours.
07:49In our trip, it's just a little bit.
07:53There's not much traffic.
07:55It's just traffic on the road.
07:57In the 2024 Traffic Index released by TOMTO,
08:01a Dutch navigation and digital mapping group,
08:04there are 26 places with the slowest travel time
08:07in 500 cities around the world.
08:10It takes 30 minutes and 44 seconds
08:13for a 10-kilometer vehicle to pass.
08:16Eighth in the ranking is Davao City.
08:19Travel time is 32 minutes and 59 seconds,
08:22while Manila is 14th
08:24with a travel time of 32 minutes and 10 seconds
08:27for every 10 kilometers.
08:29The increasing traffic has a big effect on life.
08:32The drivers have less income.
08:34They have to work every day for their families.
08:37We earn less and travel slower.
08:41That's how it is.
08:42We'll be in traffic for a long time.
08:45How do you manage the distance?
08:47Just be patient.
08:50Be patient on the trip.
08:52Of course, if we're not patient,
08:54we won't get anywhere.
08:56You'll just keep the traffic.
08:59You won't be able to do anything.
