Two fire incidents razed a total of 21 houses and 14 establishments during the course of the New Year’s celebration in Davao City.
It’s a sad New Year’s Day for 350 families in Barangay Leon Garcia, Agdao, a community also known as Gotamco, who lost their homes to a fire past midnight of December 27.
The Our Lady of Fatima Parish proceeded to officiate the Holy Mass led by parish priest Fr. Severino “Ben” Capulong despite the big fire that happened early Sunday morning, March 5.
Two fires in two successive days in urban poor settlements in Davao City point out to problems in informal settlements in the city that are not subject to inspection.
“While we share this moment of grief, we have to raise accountability on why this incident happened,” says Carlo Olalo, spokesperson of KMU Southern Mindanao
