Manila: A 3 -storey building in the Manila region of the Philippines was shocked by a terrible fire. It is being told that this accident occurred in the capital region in the early hours of Thursday.

The biggest fire was in 1996
The fire started in the Philippine just two days before the beginning of the Agni-Nivaran month in March, when the government starts an annual campaign to raise awareness about the dangers of the fire before the onset of the scorching summer season. Not implementing security rules properly for several fierce incidents of filament fire in the Philippine, congested and faulty building design has been held responsible. In 1996, 162 people were killed in a disco fire in Quenjon city, most of which were students who were celebrating at school farewell ceremony. They were unable to escape because the emergency exit was blocked due to a new building. (AP)
