A 14-year-old and a 16-year-old sibling lost their lives in a fire incident that occurred in Bulakan, Bulacan.

Their 1-year-old cousin was also among the casualties of the tragic blaze.

As reported by Pia Arcangel in GMA 7's 'SAKSI,' the victims were trapped inside the house while it was engulfed in flames.

Based on the initial findings of the authorities, a burning extension cord inside the house, where an electric fan was plugged in, was identified as the possible cause.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated by the authorities.

In the Philippines, accountability in a fire incident that results in casualties depends on the findings of the investigation conducted by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and other relevant authorities.

If the fire is found to be caused by negligence, such as faulty electrical wiring, illegal connections, or failure to follow fire safety regulations, the property owner, occupant, or building administrator may be held responsible.

In cases involving commercial establishments, the business owner or the person in charge of maintaining safety standards may face legal consequences. If the cause of the fire is due to a defective product or appliance, manufacturers or suppliers could also be investigated.

Legal action may include criminal charges, civil liabilities, or administrative penalties,s depending on the severity and nature of the violation.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
