00:00More than 100 families were burned in Barangay 128, Tondo, Manila.
00:04We have live first news from Jomer Apresto. Jomer?
00:12Susan, I'm here in one of the covered courts of Barangay 128 in Tondo, Manila.
00:17This is where the residents who were burned last night continue to stay.
00:20Most of them have nothing left to save.
00:24Cluster 4 in Barangay 128 in Tondo, Manila was covered by fire last night at 11.30 p.m.
00:30According to the barangay, a wife was the suspect who started the fire.
00:34According to the man, they were just playing.
00:37According to resident Simay Lee, they were sleeping when the fire started.
00:42She was forced to wake up her three children.
00:44The Bureau of Fire Protection continues to investigate the cause of the fire.
00:47They also suspect that two people died.
00:52The fire lasted for almost four hours before it was completely extinguished.
00:55According to the BFP, based on the structure of the houses,
00:58it was not safe to live in the area before the fire started.
01:05Most of all, around 100 to 150 families were affected by the fire.
01:10According to our residents who live in Cluster 4,
01:15the fire started suddenly because the couple was fighting
01:20in the back of their house.
01:22Now, the man is in my barangay.
01:24I think he was beaten by the villagers.
01:27We were just fighting, but I didn't do anything.
01:31I was beaten there.
01:33I returned it.
01:35Someone said that I was the suspect.
01:37I didn't do anything.
01:41The fire was too big for us.
01:44Our house was burned down.
01:46Our children's school supplies, books, uniforms,
01:50none of that was left for us.
01:52We didn't report it.
01:53We had a hard time.
01:54As you can see, it's narrow.
01:56Only a small truck can pass through here.
01:59It's inaccessible because as you can see,
02:01it's very narrow.
02:02It's all junk shop and impounding.
02:11Susan, the BFP said,
02:13the impounding area of the MMDA is very close to the burned houses.
02:17It's good and there are no casualties here.
02:20The residents are calling for hygiene kits,
02:23underwear, and clean clothes.
02:25Meanwhile, Susan,
02:26the barangay is just in the middle of us
02:28because it's not safe and the land needs to be used.
02:31The houses that were built in Cluster 1
02:33were destroyed today.
02:35In the next few days or weeks,
02:38other clusters in Marala will be destroyed.
02:41That's the first news from Tondo, Manila.
02:44I'm Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
