00:00Good evening, John Visayas and Ming Danao.
00:041,000 families lost their homes in the fire that broke out in Bacu, Cavite.
00:11There's a broken heart and another wound.
00:14It's also hard to guess the fire that possibly started in the fight between husband and wife.
00:21And Raffy Lima found out live.
00:24In this video taken from Cavite, in the midst of the fire,
00:27you can see that the fire is raging.
00:29Because of the strong wind, it spread quickly to the houses made of light materials
00:33in Barangay Longo 43 in Bacu, Cavite.
00:36According to the BFP, it was initially difficult for them to respond to the fire
00:40because of the thick smoke and the number of people fleeing the fire.
00:43Their equipment was broken.
00:44It was difficult because we were going inside,
00:48while the people were bringing their equipment outside.
00:52So the path was narrow, limited space.
00:54We were on a boat, so when our house was just about to be laid,
00:58there was already a difficulty.
00:59But we tried our best.
01:01Because of the thick smoke, a part of Longo's flyover was temporarily destroyed.
01:05At 11.52, the fire started in the middle of the town.
01:09The barangay was very emotional, especially last month,
01:12when their barangay in Situwawa was also burned,
01:14where six families were affected.
01:17I saw how the children were running,
01:19even the elderly were crying.
01:23That's why it hurts me.
01:25The fire could have started while the couple were fighting.
01:28Last night, they said that there was a chance that they would start a fire.
01:31We heard from them that there was a chance that they would start a fire.
01:35Then one of the people who started the fire said that someone would die.
01:41It should have been reported last night to the barangay
01:43so that we would be able to catch it and that such a thing would not happen.
01:47He was in the hotel earlier this afternoon at 1 p.m.
01:49and it was already past 1 p.m. when the fire started.
01:52I heard a lot of people were hit by the fire.
01:55More than 800 families were affected by the fire in Sitio Canluran and Sitio Tabo.
02:00In this drone video, the wide area of the burned houses can be seen.
02:05At 2.30 p.m., the fire was declared as a fire out.
02:08Some residents immediately went to the area to return and ask for help,
02:12even though it was still prohibited.
02:14According to the barangay chief,
02:15there is information that one person was killed and one person was seriously injured due to the fire.
02:19But according to the BFP Bacoor,
02:21they are still confirming this information,
02:23especially that they are still continuing their pick-up operations.
02:26There are still no recorded numbers of those who were burned earlier,
02:29but it is possible that it reached 1,000 families,
02:31many of them were temporarily evacuated to Longos Flyover.
02:34According to the barangay, many of those who were burned are now on relocation
02:38because the LRT Line 1 Cavite Extension will hit this area.
02:41The burned Sitio was also hit by the LRT Cavite Extension last month.
02:46Thank God, we are all safe.
02:49No one was injured.
02:52All of our belongings were burned.
02:55We don't know where we will be staying for the time being
03:01because we still don't know where we will be staying.
03:09Vicky, we are wearing masks
03:10because the smoke that we have been waiting for is going to our direction.
03:15But according to the BFP,
03:16when they were picking up the fire,
03:17there was no fire in these cabins but only smoke.
03:21For those who want to ask for help,
03:23the evacuees are in two covered courts,
03:26in Barangay Molino 2 in Salinas,
03:29and two covered courts in Molino 3.
03:32The evacuees who need clothes and food are there.
03:36So for those who want to ask for help,
03:38the evacuees are there.
03:40According to the BFP,
03:41until this time,
03:42the report that someone was injured in this fire is still negative.
03:46Vicky?
03:47Thank you very much, Rafi Tima.
