CEBU CITY, Philippines\u2014A 16-year-old boy was killed in one of\u00a0 two fires that hit two villages in Cebu City early\u00a0Thursday.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Bihagan was sleeping in the house of his aunt Cherry Bihigan in Sitio (sub-village) Gansen Site, Barangay (village) Basak San Nicolas when the fire broke out at\u00a012:15 a.m.<\/p>\n

The teenager was not able to get out of the house. The fire also destroyed an adjacent house owned by Elimiliano Ellonado.<\/p>\n

Arson investigator Edwin Jandayan said the fire in Bihigan’s house may have been caused by a lighted candle at the altar that was left unattended.<\/p>\n

Almost\u00a0three hours later, another fire broke out in Barangay Punta Princesa past\u00a03 a.m.\u00a0that destroyed the house of Federico Ruela.<\/p>\n

No one was hurt in the fire caused by a plugged cellular phone that may have overheated. RAM\/rga<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
