We’re glad the blaze didn’t do much damage — but we couldn’t help but notice the name of the building.
Sometime past 10am on Thu, May 5, fire broke out at the media extension office of Sen. Chiz Escudero at Room 2016 of the 22-story President Tower on Timog Avenue, Quezon City. Escudero is running for Vice President.
“The fire reached first alarm and caused P40,000 in structural damages,” reports Romina Cabrera in The Philippine Star.
According to city fire marshall Superintendent Jesus Fernandez, the blaze may have been caused by an overheated air conditioner.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt in the incident.
