A septuagenarian points toward the area along NIA Road in Barangay Pinyahan, Quezon City where his house once stood, on Monday (March 9, 2026), days after a fire displaced them. He said they have received assistance from the national and local government, but expressed the need for a new permanent home and access to portable toilets and sanitation facilities while staying in a makeshift shelter. (PNA photo by Robert Oswald P.
