Most of the fire victims are now temporarily residing in makeshift homes at the Cebu International Convention Center (CICC) grounds, which is just a block away from the site. Some opted to stay near their burnt homes.
CDN Digital went to check the situation of the victims a day after the tragedy.
Here are some photos taken from the evacuation area and at the site.

One of these evacuees now at the CICC grounds is 36-year-old electrician Julius Adrales, seen here giving a thumbs-up sign with his family. Adrales is staying under a tent that he borrowed from one of the responders of the fire. He said his house was a few meters away from the source of the fire.

Adrales is a resident of Barangay Tipolo in Mandaue City, working as an electrician. He said he was almost trapped in the fire. One of his concerns now is that his phone has not been charged, since there is no electricity at the CICC grounds. | CDN Digital photo | Gerard Vincent Francisco
