01:18According to the Bureau of Jail Management and Penalty, they were immediately transferred to another part of the city jail, the Daang Daang PDL.
01:25The Manila City Jail was not affected by the fire, said the Bureau of Fire Protection, but it was also inserted to pump water.
01:32The road is very narrow so that we can get the focal points of the fire.
01:41At the same time, there were a lot of people. We were blocked when we entered.
01:50No one was injured. Two women were injured.
01:55One senior citizen was burned in different parts of the body.
02:00According to the BFP data, there were 500 families who lost their homes.
02:05The estimated value of the burnt property is more than P3.7 million.
02:11Among those who lost their homes, Mother Michelle was the only one who came home from work when the fire happened.
02:18It's really hard. Of course, it's Christmas and this happened.
02:22All the hardships, just one flash of light, and it's over.
02:26The BFP is still investigating the cause of the fire.
02:29For now, the Manila Department of Social Welfare is listing the names of the residents who were burned.
02:35According to the barangay, some residents are coming here and claiming that they were burned in order to get help from the government.
