CEBU CITY, Philippines — A 10-year-old girl died after she was trapped inside a one-story house during a Sunday dawn fire that destroyed a portion of Barangay Poblacion in Lapu-Lapu
Rutchele Vergara, guardian of the 10-year-old girl, told CDN Digital in an interview today, April 3, 2022, that the girl ran to the other side of the house where an exit door or gate was located.
“Akong giingnan [akong kauban] nga ang mga iro, bata kay ipagawas. Unya ang kayo adto naman padung namo, mao to ang bata naas kwarto na trap. Wa na sya kaanhi kay kalit kayo ba, mga five minutes siguro ang kayo grabe na gyud kaayo. Kung na abri lang unta sa silingan [ ang gate ], way problema unta makagawas unta siya,” she added.She also said that their neighbor asked permission to have that gate built there, so that their neighbor could use it in times of emergencies.
