CABIAO, Nueva Ecija – Three nursing students perished while another was seriously hurt when a fire of still undetermined origin razed the Community Health Center here before dawn yesterday. Chief Insp. Peter Madria, town police chief, identified the fatalities as Cecille Quinos, Cherylee Morillo and Ceza Perez, reportedly graduating students of the St. Luke’s School of Nursing based in Quezon City, taking up internship training here. They died of suffocation. Another student, Miguel Ramos, was rescued and rushed to a nearby hospital. Madria said the fire which struck at 3 a.m. quickly engulfed the building in Barangay Sta. Ines, trapping the four victims inside the toilet. He said the four were roused from sleep and rushed to the toilet at the second floor. They were allegedly having a small party and cooking up some food inside the clinic before the blaze, reports said. Madria said firefighters rescued Ramos by breaking the toilet door. Mayor Abundia Garcia, who is deeply saddened by the tragic incident, said the clinic was part of a school curriculum project of the previous administration in collaboration with the St. Luke’s Medical Center. Arson probers were still ascertaining the cause of the fire as of press time yesterday. |
