SAN GABRIEL, La Union –
Three children died when they were trapped inside their burning house in the
village of Polipol here night of March 2.
Mae Joy Gacayan, 7,
and her siblings Sheena Grace, 4, and Menard Carl, 3 were not able
to run out of the house when the fire broke out at around 7 p.m., said Insp.
Gerardo Soriano, town police chief.
Soriano said the
victims' brother, John Mark, 10, managed to run out to call for help.
Initial investigation
showed a kerosene lamp sparked the blaze. The flames spread quickly as the
house was made of light materials.

children’s parents, Mark and Amelita, were not around during the incident. The
couple reportedly went to a relative’s house in a nearby village. –
