00:17Angelique, the situation here in Bagbag Public Cemetery is back to normal.

00:21It's different from the situation earlier when a fire broke out at the boundary of the cemetery.

00:28The firefighters of the Bureau of Fire Protection responded quickly

00:33to the fire here at the boundary of Bagbag Public Cemetery in Novaliches, Quezon City.

00:40Around 9 in the morning, a fire broke out on the second floor of a house here

00:46that quickly spread to other houses.

00:48According to Ms. Saturnina Verasis, the owner of the house where the fire broke out,

00:55there was an electric fan in their house.

00:58At first, she did not notice it, but later, the fire spread to their house.

01:04According to the Chief of Operations of the Quezon City Fire Department,

01:08Fire Chief Inspector Marvin Mari,

01:1030 families were affected by the fire,

01:13but no one was injured or killed.

01:16At 10.17 a.m. earlier, the fire was declared red.

01:20Let's listen to a portion of our interviews.

01:25The electric fan exploded,

01:29but I didn't understand it because it was weak, I thought it wasn't.

01:33Now, my grandchild was silent.

01:38My grandchild said,

01:40Mom, it's on fire, it's on fire, my grandchild said.

01:43What I did, I climbed up here.

01:46I looked, the pump was on fire, half of the pump was on fire.

01:51What I did, I lowered my grandchildren.

01:54This is all I took, my items.

01:57None of our belongings were saved.

02:00Outside the perimeter of the cemetery,

02:03it just so happened that there were firefighters here

02:06who deployed our EMS personnel and our firefighting personnel.

02:11That's why our firefighters responded immediately.

02:14Angelic, let's just show the situation here in Bagbag Public Cemetery,

02:19which is also one of the largest cemeteries in the region.

02:23And here, Angelic, if you can see behind me,

02:26there are people coming here continuously.

02:29Earlier, Angelic, there was almost no one walking here.

02:32But the good news, Angelic,

02:34the authorities continue to monitor,

02:37so the order is maintained,

02:39especially earlier when the fire was affected.

02:43This area is near the cemetery.

02:46Angelic, here in this area, the entrance to the cemetery,

02:50as of now, we can see that our countrymen

02:53are continuously coming here to the cemetery.

02:56As of 12 noon, Angelic,

02:58more than 37,000 people entered the cemetery

03:02and the number is expected to increase later.

03:05Angelic?

03:06Okay, so let's just clarify again,

03:08Angelic?

03:09Okay, so let's just clarify again,

03:11are there mosquitos or mosquitos

03:13in the cemetery that were affected by the fire?

03:19Angelic, according to the firefighters,

03:21the Bureau of Fire Protection,

03:23the mosquitos or mosquitos

03:25that were killed here in Bagbag Public Cemetery

03:28were not affected.

03:30The system, Angelic, is very close,

03:33here in the cemetery,

03:35that is, the so-called apartment

03:37of the mosquitos here,

03:39is just behind the compound

03:41where there was a fire here.

03:43But the good news, Angelic,

03:45no one was hurt or killed

03:47and as of now, the situation here in the cemetery is back to normal.

03:51Angelic?

03:52Okay, thank you very much, Mela Lesmoras.
