Mother, daughter die after being trapped in house fire in Bacoor
A mother and daughter died after being trapped inside their burning house in Barangay Poblacion, Bacoor City, Cavite on the afternoon of March 24.
The fire started shortly after 2 p.m. in a residential area, reached first alarm, and was put out after more than an hour. A total of 11 houses were destroyed, affecting 14 families or 48 individuals. Among those affected was Ahda De Jesus, whose relatives were among those who passed away. The victims were identified as Liezel Eusebio, 53, and her mother Fe, 79.
Responders said the house was located in a corner of the compound, making access difficult due to live wires. The victims were unable to exit as the front of the house was already on fire and were found in the bathroom. Investigators said the cause of death was suffocation.
Police arrested two individuals, including a Chinese national, and seized about P150 million worth of unregistered and substandard consumer goods in Noveleta, Cavite. The joint operation on March 24 came from a tip about the storage and sale of uncertified items at a warehouse in an industrial complex in Barangay San Rafael IV, based on a Philippine National Police news release.
