00:00 200 families were forced to leave their homes because of the fire that broke out in 70 houses in Manila earlier.

00:08 The incident was also helped by a different person. This is Benji Durango's story.

00:13 If you don't look for me, I might have been with my son. That's what happened. I don't know.

00:25 Ms. Rose couldn't stop crying as she told her story of the terrible incident that happened to her family in the fire in Manila earlier.

00:32 The woman was selling in Escolta when she heard that their house was on fire in Brgy. 330, St. Clus, Manila.

00:39 She ran to her feet because she left her 13-year-old son behind.

00:45 Thank you for saving my son. He's our life.

00:51 Ms. Rose is one of 200 families who were burned in Fugoso St., Brgy. 330, Manila.

00:58 The fire was set on 70 houses above the Monasterio de Magdalena.

01:02 Because the school was next to the school, the students ran in fear of being caught.

01:07 Help us. There are many children here.

01:10 The school was in the middle of a school activity when the fire suddenly broke out and followed by a black smoke.

01:16 The parents were with the children. They immediately went to class.

01:21 The fire alarm went off and the BFP responded.

01:25 Faulty electrical wiring is the cause of the fire.

01:28 But the residents have a different story.

01:31 They say that three days ago, they were demonstrating in the demolished part of the school.

01:36 The fire was falling on the roof of Ms. Rose's house that fell on the mattress in Kasubiclab.

01:41 When we woke up in the morning, there was a small fire.

01:48 Where did it come from?

01:49 From them, here.

01:50 What were they doing?

01:51 They were doing something up here.

01:55 The fire department refused to send a message, but the firefighters are investigating.

01:59 They are still breaking the fire. They are not settling yet.

02:03 There's no settlement yet?

02:04 There's no settlement yet because they are still breaking the fire.

02:08 When they broke the fire, they saw that there was smoke.

02:12 Maybe it's related to the fire because that's what the people said.

02:18 The cause is the one who is still setting the fire.

02:22 Four people were injured while the families were affected.

02:26 The Manila City Social Welfare Department is now on the line.
