03:38I'm Salima Refran.
03:39Tune in for 24 Hours.
03:45Good evening, Kapuso!
03:47I am your brother, Kim,
03:48who will give you the trivia behind the trending news.
03:51This weekend,
03:52the Silulong Festival was held in Cebu.
03:54Not only thousands of devotees and tourists
03:56came to enjoy themselves,
03:58thousands of candles were saved
04:00in one of the most popular attractions in the province.
04:03What is this for?
04:05A few days later,
04:06the Silulong Festival was held in Cebu.
04:09This is the scene where visitors
04:10came to the Magellan's Cross.
04:12Thousands of colorful candles
04:13were saved inside.
04:15The candles were allied
04:16by the devotees to the Child Jesus.
04:18Each color of the candle
04:19symbolizes something.
04:20Yellow is good health.
04:21Green is success.
04:22Pink is love.
04:23But most of them are red,
04:25because red is a symbol
04:27of the Lord Jesus Christ and for love.
04:29For my health,
04:30I was sick,
04:31but now I am okay.
04:32According to the Basilica del Santunino,
04:34which is located in Magellan's Cross,
04:36it has been a long time
04:37since devotees left their candles
04:39during the feast of the Child Jesus.
04:41Instead of lighting the candles in the basilica itself,
04:44the devotees left the candles
04:46in Magellan's Cross
04:47to avoid the fire.
04:50The candles are collected by the Basilica's staff
04:52to be melted and sold.
04:54The abundant funds
04:55are said to be a great help
04:56to the scholars of the Candle Foundation.
04:58Brother Kim,
04:59when were the candles first used?
05:02Brother Kim,
05:03what now?
05:04The candles
05:05give light
05:06more than 5,000 years ago.
05:08The very first candles
05:09were made from derodium papyrus,
05:11which is repeatedly submerged
05:13in tallow or animal fat and beeswax.
05:15Ancient Romans
05:16in their belief
05:17invented these.
05:18But there is evidence
05:19that they also used
05:20wick candles
05:21in the ancient times.
05:22The candles
05:23were used
05:24to light the candles
05:25in the Basilica
05:26The wick candles
05:27were also used
05:28by the ancient Egyptians,
05:29Japanese,
05:30and Chinese.
05:31But did you know
05:32that the candles
05:33were not used
05:34to light the candles?
05:35In the times
05:36when time was not yet popular,
05:37the candles
05:38were used
05:39as time keepers.
05:40There are lines
05:41or markings on the sides
05:42that measure the time
05:43based on the speed
05:44of the burning of the candle.
05:45In Hong Kong,
05:46the largest collection
05:47of candles
05:48in the world
05:49consists of 6,360 candles.
05:51The town of Silangkabiti
05:52holds the Guinness World Record
05:54for the longest line
05:55of candles lit in relay.
05:56621 people
05:57contributed
05:58to breaking
05:59the Guinness World Record
06:00in 2023.
06:01Congratulations!
06:04Did you know
06:05where you can find
06:06the tallest wax candle
06:07in the world?
06:13The Lil Hitall Men's Candle
06:15was exhibited
06:16in the 1897
06:17Stockholm Exhibition
06:18which holds
06:19the Guinness World Record
06:20for the tallest wax candle
06:21in the world.
06:23It is 24.38 meters tall
06:25and has a diameter
06:26of 2.59 meters.
06:28If you include
06:29its brick base,
06:31it can reach
06:32a height of 38.7 meters.

07:10A few minutes later,
07:11the fire was put out
07:12by the fire protection
07:13of Ikalimang Alarma.
07:16Because
07:17Poruc Sinko is at the end
07:18of the residential area,
07:19in the compound of
07:20Manila International
07:21Terminal,
07:22M.I.C.T.,
07:23fire trucks were placed
07:24to bring water
07:25to the area.
07:27A fire boat
07:28was also used
07:29in Manila Bay.
07:30Other residents
07:31helped to put out
07:32the fire
07:33using buckets
07:34and an old refrigerator
07:35that was filled with water.
07:37They also pierced
07:38the wall
07:39between the residential area
07:40and M.I.C.T.
07:41to evacuate immediately.
07:42When we were standing,
07:43the fire was big
07:44towards the end.
07:46So we were standing
07:47like this.
07:48This is what we were able
07:49to do.
07:50The fire started again.
07:52We just heard that
07:53there was a fire
07:54next to us.
07:55When I looked down,
07:56the fire was already there.
07:58I didn't know
07:59if I was going to go down
08:00because my leg was stiff.
08:02Jessa Kargapang
08:03is a year old
08:04and her son is Jared.
08:05We just heard
08:06that there was a fire
08:07and when we went out
08:08of the house,
08:09the fire was big.
08:10We went out
08:11because
08:12her house was
08:13very close to us.
08:14It was hard
08:15because
08:16we don't have
08:17the family
08:18of the husband
08:19and the family
08:20of my husband.
08:21They were all burned.
08:22Because of the fire,
08:23some children
08:24were able to run away.
08:25Jeanette was surprised
08:26that there were
08:27a lot of stores
08:28in her
08:29Sarisari store
08:30in Tangay
08:31after they evacuated.
08:32There were a lot
08:33of people
08:34who entered
08:35the house
08:36that I didn't know.
08:37I don't know
08:38who brought
08:39the things
08:40that we sold.
08:41The people
08:42who helped us
08:43to return
08:44the things
08:45that we sold.
08:46It took more
08:47than two hours
08:48for the fire
08:49to continue.
08:50According to the BFP,
08:5130 houses were burned.
08:5270 families
08:53were affected.
08:54No one was injured
08:55or killed
08:56in the incident.
08:57They said
08:58that the fire
08:59started
09:00from two
09:01sides of the house.
09:02But one of the things
09:03they saw
09:04was that
09:05the appliances
09:06overheated.
09:07I hope
09:08we can help
09:09here in
09:10Isla Puting Bato.
09:11I hope
09:12we can help
09:13all the people
09:14who were burned.
09:15For GEMA Integrated News,
09:16James Agustin
09:17with the latest news.
09:1824 Hours.
09:19Almost 30 victims
09:20of the last
09:21illegal recruiter
09:22were arrested
09:23in Camp Krame
09:24last night.
09:25The suspect
09:26was caught
09:27in the act
09:28of accepting money
09:29from a victim
09:30who was arrested
09:31by the authorities.
09:32And Bam Alegre
09:33was arrested
09:34exclusively.
09:39The complainants
09:40from the office
09:41of the Anti-Transnational
09:42Crimes Unit
09:43in Camp Krame
09:44in Quezon City
09:45last night
09:46were arrested
09:47by a criminal
09:48investigation
09:49and detection
09:50group
09:51or CIDG
09:52a famous
09:53illegal recruiter.
09:54The first
09:55alleged
09:56suspect
09:57was 27 years old.
09:58His modus
09:59was to collect
10:00money from
10:01victims
10:02in exchange
10:03for living
10:04in Canada
10:05as a skilled
10:06worker or farmer.
10:07But later
10:08they found out
10:09that there was
10:10no flight
10:11and no job
10:12waiting for them.
10:13Last night,
10:14the suspect
10:15contacted
10:16Facebook.
10:17He has a platform
10:18and the others
10:19are through
10:20referral.
10:21I was shocked
10:22because he's not
10:23a licensed
10:24recruiter.
10:26120,000
10:27to 160,000
10:28pesos
10:29were charged
10:30by the suspect
10:31to each victim.
10:32Like Maria,
10:33she doesn't have
10:34a real name
10:35and she escaped
10:36from Naga City.
10:37The promises
10:38were in vain
10:39but when they arrived
10:40in Manila,
10:41their eyes were blinded
10:42waiting for their flight.
10:43Four of them
10:44are now
10:45working
10:46in Canada
10:47as farmers.
10:49The salary there
10:50is high.
10:53Pre-accommodation
10:54and
10:55free food.
10:57When we arrive
10:58in Canada,
10:59we will be able
11:00to repay
11:01the money
11:02we spent.
11:03From Sultan Kudarat
11:04to Ilana,
11:05she doesn't have
11:06a real name.
11:07She promised
11:08a big income
11:09and a quick opportunity
11:10to her scammer
11:11when they went
11:12to their neighborhood.
11:13The money
11:14the illegal recruiter
11:15is asking for
11:16is a lot.
11:17I borrowed
11:1860,000 pesos
11:19from my neighbor
11:20and 10,000 pesos
11:21from another neighbor.
11:22I collateralized
11:23a motorcycle
11:24of my son
11:25and a t-shirt
11:26of my neighbor.
11:29The police
11:30is not yet
11:31facing the suspect
11:32who received money
11:33from the entrapment
11:34because they are
11:35continuing
11:36their follow-up
11:37operation
11:38and investigation
11:39if this is an
11:40organized group
11:41because some
11:42people
11:43are already
11:44involved
11:45in the illegal
11:46recruitment.
