An initial investigation showed that the fire started on the Second Floor of the building, where the charred remains of the four victims were found. 

Fire investigators suspected that the victims, ages 4, 7, 9 and a grownup were trapped in the fire.

"Malamang na-trap ang mga bikitma kasi may grills ang mga bintana. Natagpuan ang katawan ng 4-year-old sa isang kuwarto at ang tatlo ay doon sa loob ng comfort room," Isobredo said. 

Isobredo did not disclose the names of the victims and the possible cause of the fire  as a thorough investigation is ongoing. —LBG, GMA news
