MANILA, Philippines – Three houses were razed in a fire that broke out at Sitio All-Top in Barangay Merville, Parañaque City yesterday afternoon.

Tana said no one died in the fire, contrary to online news.

Damage to property was estimated at P200,000.

Arson investigators said a faulty electrical connection caused the fire.
