00:00Almost 1,000 houses were affected by the fire in a large part of Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila.
00:06Task Force Charlie raised the alarm.
00:09Helicopters and fireboats also helped to reduce the fire.
00:12Niko Wahe was live.
00:15Niko?
00:18Pia Yvonne, more than 2,000 families were affected by the fire that broke out this morning in Isla Puting Bato.
00:27At 8 in the morning, a fire broke out in Isla Puting Bato in Tondo, Manila.
00:34It will be extinguished this afternoon by Task Force Charlie,
00:37one of the highest fire alarms where more than 30 firetrucks are needed.
00:42Because of the strength and breadth of the fire,
00:44helicopters were needed to pour water from the Himpapawid.
00:49Two helicopters were returning earlier to pour water from the sea itself.
00:54They will be thrown and poured into the fire.
00:58Because the houses in Manila Bay were affected by the fire,
01:00the Coast Guard sent four fireboats to pump water.
01:05When we woke up, the fire was already big.
01:07I don't know, sir, how to do it.
01:12Residents did not hesitate to evacuate.
01:15I was able to pass through.
01:17I was able to jump into the sea.
01:20I was able to jump into the sea to eat.
01:25Many people went to the sea to evacuate.
01:28Those who were saved by the fire were put on rafts
01:31or were stuck in the waves of water and were thrown into the sea.
01:35We are here in Bangkadinaan because we cannot be here in the middle.
01:40Some men were carrying a dead body.
01:43Another man lost his life.
01:45According to the Bureau of Fire Protection,
01:46about 1,000 houses were destroyed and the cost of the fire was P3.5 million.
01:522,000 families were affected.
01:55Firefighters and residents were also injured.
01:58The fire started in the second floor of a house in Purok Tres,
02:01but the fire was still being extinguished.
02:04It was very difficult.
02:05First of all, there were many people.
02:08Secondly, what happened to their houses or mosques
02:18was caused by the light materials that easily burn.
02:24Thirdly, the roads were very narrow.
02:30Because it was by the sea, the wind was also strong,
02:33so the fire was getting bigger.
02:34The wall next to Manila International Container Terminal or MICT is also high.
02:39It has access to extinguish the fire,
02:41so firefighters had to use the stairs.
02:44The operation of MICT is normal.
02:47The Philippine Ports Authority reminded port users
02:50that they can directly contact MICT regarding this operation.
02:58The BFP declared a fire-out at PA Van 407 yesterday afternoon.
03:02The DSWD also ordered their NCR field office
03:05to immediately help those affected by the fire here in Isla Puting Bato.
03:10That is the latest. Back to you.
03:12Thank you very much, Nico Wahe.
03:15The camera was answered by Vice President Sara Duterte
03:18regarding the transfer to her Chief of Staff,
03:20Atty. Zuleika Lopez, who is still at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
03:25And it was revealed that it was Jonathan Landa.
03:28Jonathan?
03:30Pia, three senators visited Atty. Zuleika Lopez today
03:35here at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
03:38VP Sara went home first with her children.
03:44Before leaving the VMMC,
03:46Vice President Sara Duterte updated
03:49on the condition of her Chief of Staff, Atty. Zuleika Lopez.
03:53She's not settled down.
03:56I pleaded with her to let me go home
04:01so I can see my children.
04:06Initially, she didn't want to.
04:08Then she cried again.
04:10But the next time around,
04:12I gave her,
04:15in exchange for me,
04:18Senator Bong Go will stay with her.
04:21There are still two people with her,
04:22Senator Bato De La Rosa and Senator Bong Go.
04:24She said that she will come back later tonight
04:28because it might be night already
04:31for her transfer.
04:34Lopez was also asked by her lawyer
04:36to stay outside the room for 24 hours.
04:41Senator Aimee Marcos arrived at the hospital earlier
04:43in a helicopter,
04:45but she did not allow the transfer.
04:47Senator Marcos is the brother of the President
04:49but is also a close ally of VP Duterte.
04:53The Vice President said that she does not know
04:55if Lopez will be transferred tomorrow
04:57because the House Committee on Good Government
04:59and Public Accountability
05:01on the OVP and DepEd funds were misheard.
05:03I don't know Attorney Lopez
05:05because I don't listen to his discussions
05:08with his doctors and his lawyers.
05:11His mother will also arrive tomorrow.
05:15Manila Rep. Joel Chua,
05:17the chairman of the committee, said
05:18that they will still transfer Lopez and the Vice President
05:20unless Lopez has a medical condition.
05:26Lopez's feelings were hurt
05:28when she was transferred to the Correctional Institution for Women
05:31from the House Detention Facility.
05:34The committee was the one who decided that.
05:36The committee was alarmed
05:39because she has a letter
05:41that she can jog
05:45on the perimeter of Batasan Compound.
05:49That's the Vice President sir?
05:51Yes.
05:52It might create a security problem.
05:58That's why we should have secured
06:01Ma'am Sulaika so that it will be safer and more secure.
06:04But this is also an instruction by Speaker Ramaldez?
06:07There is no instruction.
06:09The House Secretary General
06:11answered some of their issues and concerns.
06:13They said that it's not true
06:15that they are not letting Lopez's lawyer in.
06:18Ma'am, your cellphone was stolen.
06:20Give it back.
06:21They also said that they did not take Lopez's cellphone.
06:24It was rendered and the other cellphones
06:26were followed by the security protocol.
06:28They also said that the respondent
06:30to Lopez's medical emergency was not delayed.
06:32They also said that even though the committee
06:34transferred Lopez to the Correctional Institution,
06:36the SECGEN decided
06:38that Lopez should remain in the VMMC
06:40for humanitarian reasons
06:42and for her medical condition to be treated.
06:44The Vice President said that
06:46she is the one who stood up for Lopez
06:48against the law, according to Chua.
06:50It is clear to us in the League of Law
06:53that the President, the Vice President,
06:57the members of the Cabinet
06:59are not allowing them to practice their profession.
07:06Pia, until tomorrow
07:08is the contempt order of the camera
07:10against Lopez.
07:11That's why we asked Congressman Joel Chua
07:13until when will Lopez decide
07:16about Lopez's contempt order.
07:20That's all from the Veterans Memorial Medical Center.
07:23Back to you, Pia.
07:25Thank you very much, Jonathan Andal.
