Four members of a family were injured after a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder exploded inside their home in Rosario, Cavite, before dawn Tuesday.
Senior Superintendent Edgar Rotero of the Cavite Police Provincial Office said Vigildo Bombita and his three sons identified as Niño, Bryan and Byron, were asleep on the second floor of their home when the LPG tank exploded around 1 a.m.
Rotero said the victims fell from the second floor after it collapsed because of the explosion's impact. Three other homes were affected by the explosion, police investigators said.
The victims were rushed to St. Martin's Hospital in Rosario town.
Rotero said Vigildo initially suspected that the explosion was caused by the air-conditioning unit. Police ordnance personnel, however, ruled out Vigildo's theory because the unit was still working properly.
