00:00Metro Manila Council called on LGUs to form an ordinance against the use of barbed wire or spaghetti wires.
00:09Live from Manila, we have the first news, EJ Gomez. EJ?
00:18Ivan, residents here in Barangay 351, Santa Cruz, Manila are hoping that the incidents of fire caused by barbed wire will be reduced.
00:29That is after the approval of a resolution that will remove the use of spaghetti wires in the entire NCR.
00:41A week after the fire, this is what the length of Elia Street in Barangay 351, Santa Cruz, Manila looks like.
00:48Barbed wire remains the main source of electricity. It is also the reason for the fire that destroyed 30 houses.
00:56And until now, there is still no electricity.
00:59They call for a proper problem with the electric wiring in the area that they have been enduring for a long time.
01:05The electricity is really hard. We don't have electricity. It's dark. We can't move properly.
01:12It's really hard to lose a house. It's really pervasive.
01:19The broken lines of electricity are the only reason for the fire in the area.
01:26Last week, this is what one of the residents who was burned got.
01:30Yesterday, the Metro Manila Council approved a resolution that is appealing to the local governments in NCR
01:37to pass an ordinance against the use of barbed wire or spaghetti wires.
01:42It will have a better effect.
01:44There is a tendency that if there is only one fire, all will be affected.
01:47It will affect a lot of people.
01:48Not just one property, but almost all.
01:53If there is a fire, a lot of people will be affected and a lot of people will be paralyzed.
01:58According to the ordinance, the LGU and Telcos and Meralco will have coordination
02:04to trace and remove unnecessary cables and leave only those that are still working.
02:15The residents want this to be implemented as soon as possible.
02:19According to their experience, houses and lives are in danger here.
02:25And that is the first news from Santa Cruz, Manila, EJ Gomez for GMA Integrated News.
