I was able to catch the billowing smoke on video, albeit actually far from the incident.

Fire of still undetermined origin hit several houses inside a squatters' compound in Makati City and snarled traffic in the area Friday morning.

Chief Insp. Jose Embang Jr, the city's fire marshall, said the fire at Laperal Compound in Guadalupe Viejo in Makati City had reached Task Force Alpha at about 8:40 a.m. The compound is near the San Carlos Seminary.
