Earlier, the Consulate confirmed that Maryan Pascual Esteban, a Filipino domestic worker, died because of the Hong Kong fire.
Another helper, Rhodora Alcaraz, who saved a three-month-old baby during the incident, is still in the hospital recovering from her injuries.
Authorities in Hong Kong described the blaze as one of the deadliest in decades, with a total of 151 reported deaths.
Police have already arrested at least thirteen people who may be connected to the tragedy.
Yes, the recent Tai Po fire is now considered one of the worst in Hong Kong’s modern history.
Reports show that the W@ng Fuk Court blaze killed more than 150 people, making it the deadliest fire the city has seen in decades.
Past incidents, such as the 1996 Garley Building fire with 41 deaths, were far smaller in scale.
An even older tragedy, the 1948 Wing On warehouse fire, had around 176 deaths and remains one of the deadliest on record.
Because of the huge number of casualties and the destruction across several high-rise blocks, the 2025 Tai Po fire now ranks among the most devastating fires ever recorded in Hong Kong.
