Ex-Vizcaya governors' house destroyed in fire

BAYOMBONG, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines — A fire gutted the two-story house of former Nueva Vizcaya governor Rodolfo Agbayani on Sunday night.

The fire, which reportedly started on the second floor of Agbayani’s house, spread to another building, which houses commercial establishments and offices in Barangay Don Mariano Marcos, which are also owned by the former governor.

Agbayani said he was recovering from an accident at their farmhouse in Barangay Magapuy with his family when the fire broke out.

The cause of the fire has yet to be determined.– Raymund Catindig
