00:28 of the devastating wildfire and will also look on how to start the search and recovery
00:33 effort phase.
00:35 There are now 114 confirmed dead after the latest search and rescue efforts, one of whom
00:41 is a Filipino.
00:42 A report alleging two more Pinoys died in the incident is still being verified.
