A sad Christmas greeted some Bacood, Manila residents after a fire gutted 20 houses while celebrating the traditional midnight snack (Noche Buena) at Sta. Mesa Manila Wednesday early dawn.
The fire started at the ground floor of an apartment building made up of light materials at around 1 a.m., according to FC Insp. Rae Sumedca of the Manila Fire Department.
The fire quickly spread as most of the adjoining houses were made of wood.
