At one point in the video, he was seen doing something on a seat before quickly fleeing the scene on his bicycle.

Just over a minute after, fire started in front of the house where the man stood. It only took half an hour before the house was ablaze into a huge torch of fire.

The police authorities and firefighters were shaken by the incident because the people sleeping inside the house were homeless people.

The house was put up by an organization and it served as a safe place for them.

Over 20 people were sleeping inside the house when it caught fire. Four of them aged 50-61 years old didn't make it out alive, while 8 were injured.

According to the fire department, 6 bedridden individuals almost got themselves trapped inside. Thankfully, responders were quick to act.

A 42-year-old suspect was arrested for the crime, although his motive was yet to be discovered.

In a previous report by KAMI, two suspects were arrested in Liloan, Cebu for offering women to drinking men inside a bar. They were caught in an entrapment operation conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation Region VII. One male suspect and another from the LGBTQ community were arrested for offering 5 women to customers in a bar. In a report by TV 5's 'Frontline Tonight,' the suspects were pretending to be customers in a bar, but they were offering the victims to the drinking customers inside.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public 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.
