Updated: 2015-12-11-08:33
Nine people have been confirmed dead from a fire that hit a community in Quezon City at past 12 p.m. Thursday.
GMA’s Vonne Aquino reported on “News TV Live” early Friday morning that all the remains of the nine victims, including a 1-year-old girl, have been retrieved.
She said the fire destroyed some 50 houses in Barangay Damanyang Lagi in Quezon City, and that it spread quickly as the structures in the area were made from light materials.
Citing authorities, Aquino said some 120 families have been rendered homeless by the fire believed to have been caused by illegal power connections.
Meanwhile, most of the homeless families are now temporarily staying at a seminary house near the area.
