I told you that last few days I was down and scared. I was really scared earlier tonight too. I think I am absorbing the negativity and this is bad. But before we go there, let me greet you a good day, good night and good day for tomorrow as I don't know what time this draft will be posted.

I was exercising at 7 in the evening. Nope, I was about to do some exercising when I was hearing a siren. It doesn't sound like an ambulance, it sounds like a firetruck. The sound is getting near. Imagine my face that time, I have trauma about fire incident as last year we had three incidents very near to our house. The fire siren really makes me scared. I got weak instantly.

What I did was to check Facebook live. Whenever I hear a siren, whether from ambulance or firetruck, I check on Facebook because people in our place are always doing live whenever there is a fire nearby. Then I saw, there are three people doing the live.

One of them is from Gloria Ibo Benico.

You see, when I view the live, there are lots of viewers already. When I saw this, I don't have any idea where is the place is. I was shaking because the sound of firetruck are getting louder, it makes me feel that the fire is just nearby. I was praying while waiting for a reply from the person who posted, I'm was really scared.

Then the poster replied and said "Dimasalang kami". She meant that the fire is in Dimasalang St. Vergel Pasay City. I checked on other live and even Doc Willy Ong is doing the live. I realised that doing live whenever there is a fire incident is very helpful. It keeps you updated of what is happening, especially if it is near your place.

Also, during the live, the poster need to be complete with their information as my anxiety attacks instantly when she answered one of the comment. The comment she read is asking where is the exact place and the person who posted said "sa amin", in English it means "in our place". I was panicking because the title of the live is Sunog sa Pasay and I was asking her, where in Pasay, because I live there. Good thing she responded the exact place and some viewers answered the question as well.

It was scary because I can hear the explosion. As if the comment, someone said that it is from the cigarette factory. I am not aware that there are cigarette factory there. In less than an hour the fire is already out. I was waiting GMA News to report this but it was not reported, maybe tomorrow or later.

While watching it, I really prayed. I prayed. In Jesus name for the fire to be controlled immediately, that no one will get hurt and all of the people are safe. I hope we all be protected with this one and pray to God to save us all for this kind of incident.
