A huge area in the suburbs of Manila, hear the Pasay River, was devastated on the afternoon of May 3 by a fire which swept out of control in a steady...... wind, engulfing the wooden houses of the Filipinos at the rate of one à minute for several hours and rendering more than 6,000 persons homeless.
