COTABATO CITY, Philippines – Two siblings aged five and three months were burned to death in a fire that razed their house in a remote village in Midsayap, North Cotabato Monday night, authorities said. 

Midsayap fire officer Rolando Marquez said the mother of siblings Kit Alquino, five, and three-month-old Joel was out of the house when an unattended kerosene lamp atop a cabinet fell and triggered the fire while the two children were asleep.

A neighbor, Ely Palparan, said they tried to rescue the two children but the main door and the backdoor were both locked.
