By Dhel Nazario Nine people perished after being trapped inside a two-story home that was razed by a one-hour fire in Pasay City before dawn Thursday. Only one survived the blaze. Lone survivor Jasmine Calma said her husband’s cries for help were the last she heard during the one-hour fire. Calma recalled that she was able to escape imminent death after jumping from their window. Her husband Mi­chael Calma could have also escaped but was trapped after coming back to wake up their children. Calma could only cry as she stared down at their charred home. Calma's family, which occupied the second floor, and the Wablas family, which occupied the first floor, all died in the fire that reached the first alarm. The fatalities were Julius Wablas, 39; Rhea Wablas, 40; Julie Wablas 46; Nichole Wablas, 9; Jurick Andrea Wablas, 3; Michael Calma, 44; Mark Joseph Calma, 23; John Clark Calma, 17; and Andrew James Calma,11.
