MANILA, Philippines – Two children were killed in a fire that broke out at a commercial-residential building at the corner of Blumentritt extension and Felipa street in Sampaloc, Manila yesterday morning.
Arjun Salombre and Jaybrix Jacobe, both four years old, were charred beyond recognition, according to arson investigators.
Chief Inspector Crispo Diaz of the Manila Fire Department said the two boys were playing at 11:30 a.m. when they were trapped in the burning building.
Salombre’s father, Jun, was hurt after he tried to save his son.
The fire destroyed at least P300,000 worth of property, Diaz said.
Firemen contained the blaze after an hour.
