Three young siblings died when they were trapped inside their burning house in Barangay Gatbuca, Calumpit, Bulacan, on Wednesday night, April 23.
The victims were identified as Marcus, 5; Maliah, 3, and Baby Maecy, 1.
A resident told the police she was with the children’s mother at a friend’s wake when the fire broke out.
She said they tried to rescue the siblings but they could not go near the house because there were so many people in the narrow alley on the way to their home.
The children’s mother was still in a state of shock and grief after losing her children in the blaze.
The blaze was extinguished after almost half an hour.
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) is still investigating the cause of the fire. (Freddie Velez)
