MANILA, Philippines – Authorities immediately put under control a fire that hit a carpentry shop near TV stations in Quezon City on Monday afternoon, June 17.

‪Roalph Design and Display, at 36A Sgt Esguerra Avenue in Barangay South Triangle, is in a residential compound. It is a stone’s throw away from the ABS-CBN and GMA stations.
