Five dogs tragically lost their lives after getting trapped inside a burning house.

The heartbreaking incident took place in a residence located in Barangay 17, Bacolod City.

According to the dogs’ owner, as reported in GMA 7's 'Balitanghali' through GMA Regional TV, they heard explosions coming from one of the rooms they were renting out.

As much as they wanted to save the dogs, it was already too late because the fire had grown too intense and had started to spread to the other rooms, making it too dangerous to enter.

According to the Bureau of Fire Protection, wire failure could have caused the fire. The total cost of damages to property caused by the fire is yet to be determined.

In the Philippines, if a fire breaks out and dogs are killed after being trapped inside the burning house, the incident is usually investigated by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) to determine the cause of the fire.

Authorities will assess whether it was accidental, due to negligence, or intentionally set.

If the fire was caused by carelessness, such as faulty wiring or unattended appliances, the property owner may be held accountable for violations of fire safety regulations.

However, since animals are considered property under Philippine law, the death of the dogs may not result in criminal charges unless there is clear evidence of cruelty or intentional harm.

Animal welfare groups may also get involved to raise awareness about responsible pet ownership and the importance of including pets in emergency evacuation plans.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

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.
