Isang sunog sa ikatlong palapag ng gusali ng Senate of the Philippines sa Pasay City ang nangyari ngayong Linggo ng umaga, Nobyembre 30, 2025.
Halos kasabay ito ng Trillion Peso March na idinaos sa People Power Monument, EDSA, Quezon City, pati na rin sa Quirino Grandstand at Mendiola Street sa Maynila.
Ang opisina ng Legislative Technical Affairs Bureau ang tinupok ng apoy na umabot sa second alarm.
Tuloy, may mga nabahala at nagkaroon ng mga malisyosong haka-haka.
TITO SOTTO ON IMPORTANT SENATE DOCUMENTS
Kaya sa official statement na inilabas ni Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III, tiniyak niyang hindi naapektuhan ng sunog ang mga importanteng dokumento, kabilang ang mga papeles ng Blue Ribbon Committee na nag-iimbestiga sa mga katiwaliang related sa flood-control projects na kinasasangkutan ng mga mambabatas, mga contractors, at ng mga matataas na opisyal ng pamahalaan.
Ito ang kabuuan ng pahayag ni Sotto tungkol sa sunog:
“A fire incident was reported to the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) at the Senate at 6:30 A.M. on Sunday morning, on the 3rd floor of the Senate building, specifically at the office of the Legislative Technical Affairs Bureau.
"Firefighters from the BFP immediately responded and declared the incident fire under control at 7:43 A.M.
"Authorities are currently determining the cause of the fire and assessing the extent of the damage.
"Water used in the suppression efforts resulted in leakage into the Session Hall, originating from the affected floor.
"Rest assured that all pertinent Senate documents—including those of the Blue Ribbon Committee—remain intact, safe, and completely unaffected by the fire.
"The Senate is working closely with the BFP and internal security to ensure the continued safety of the premises and personnel and to prevent similar incidents moving forward.
"The Senate’s maintenance team will be working round the clock to dry and restore the Session Hall to ensure it is fully ready for Monday’s session.”
