Updated: 2013-05-19-19:48
A portion of Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Makati City may not be quite passable due to a bus that caught fire there Sunday evening.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority said the bus caught fire at about 7:15 p.m. at the southbound part of EDSA near Estrella in Makati City.
“Burning bus in EDSA Estrella (southbound), near loading bay as of 7:15 p.m.,” it said in its 7:28 p.m. advisory.
A screenshot from a closed-circuit television posted on the tweet showed flames coming out of the bus’ windows.
The MMDA said no one was initially reported hurt in the incident, when asked by GMA TV’s Lia Mañalac del Castillo.
It said the fire was put out as of 7:35 p.m..
Investigators are looking into what caused the fire. — BM, GMA News
