LIFE still goes on for these fire survivors.
More than 600 families, or 2,578 individuals, were displaced while five persons were injured after a fire struck three sitios in Barangay Ermita, Cebu City Tuesday afternoon, February 5.
Families try to stay positive even when they are restless, thinking about all the things they couldn't save during the fire. Some of the fire victims stayed inside the Barangay Ermita Gym. (Amper Campaña)
Other evacuees stayed inside the still unfinished Unit 2 of Carbon Market, Cebu City. The victims make the most of what they have. Victims are in dire need of basic necessities.

From a once cheerful environment, the victims of the fire walk through the rubles of their sitio with glum faces. Several men, including children, are seen scavenging metal, hoping to make a few bucks from the scraps. (Alan Tangcawan)
