Taguig LGU Distributes Aid to Families Affected by Massive Fire in Barangay Sta. Ana
Taguig Local Government Unit has given aid to almost 500 families affected by massive fire in Pulong Kendi 2, Kalye Onse, Barangay Sta. Ana.
According to the Bureau of Fire Protection, the fire started around 5:51 p.m. on May 25, 2026, and quickly spread through the crowded residential area. The blaze rapidly intensified and reached the fifth alarm before firefighters were finally able to put it out at around 2:04 a.m. on Tuesday.
Authorities said around 175 houses were destroyed by the fire, affecting an estimated 2,500 square meters of land. The damage to property was estimated to reach P3.75 million.
Despite the scale of the fire, no deaths or injuries were reported. Many residents managed to escape safely, although most were unable to save any of their belongings as they rushed away from the flames.
The Taguig local government immediately activated evacuation centers to help displaced residents. According to the City Social Welfare and Development Office, four evacuation centers were prepared, including the Santa Ana Multipurpose Building, Taguig Integrated School, and Saint Anne Church.
Medical teams were also sent to the evacuation centers while food, water, and other basic necessities continued to be distributed to affected families. Child-friendly spaces were also set up to help young evacuees feel safe and comfortable during the difficult situation.
The city government also provided P10,000 financial assistance to every family affected by the fire to help them begin recovering from their losses.
Health officials continue monitoring the condition of evacuees and are encouraging residents to seek medical attention if they experience any health problems.
Meanwhile, authorities reminded the public to avoid illegal electrical connections or jumpers, which are often considered possible causes of fires in crowded communities.
As of the latest report, 188 families remain inside evacuation centers while authorities continue investigating the cause of the fire.
