STATEMENT FROM THE QUEZON CITY GOVERNMENT
The city government regrets that a fire broke out again in a part of NIA Road, more than a month after flames first destroyed hundreds of homes there.
According to the initial investigation by the Bureau of Fire Protection-QC, the fire was caused by the burning of copper in an abandoned house.
Therefore, the local government asks everyone not to spread false information, as there is no basis to claim the fire was intentional.
In this regard, our city remains focused on providing immediate assistance to affected families and ensuring that all measures are in accordance with the law and with concern for the welfare of the people.
Before the fire broke out at midnight, our city had already met with the families and informed them of the assistance they would receive, including financial aid and eligibility for housing in NIA or other areas they could choose.
On April 28, the families conducted a site visit or “tripping” at the Harmony Hills Resettlement Site in Barangay Batasan Hills and at QCitizen Homes – Urban Deca Homes.
The HCDRD continues to coordinate with the families in NIA, and any plans or steps to be taken in the area are ensured to undergo consultation.
