Fire Supt. Eugene Briones, Muntinlupa City Fire Marshal, said the fire damaged P500,000 worth of property.

He added that the 10 perished were unable to get out of the house immediately as the exits to the house were already on fire.

The only survivor in the fire was 87-year-old Virginia Kawili, who was in the “sari-sari” (variety) store in front of the house and was immediately evacuated by neighbors.

Based on the BFP Muntinlupa report, the fire originated from the kitchen but the cause is under investigation.

The fire involved a one-storey house with two adjacent two-storey residential structures.
