Pinay who saved baby in HK blaze now stable
The Philippine Star
|December 02, 2025
A Filipina worker who saved a baby during the massive fire in Hong Kong's Tai Po district on Nov. 26 is now in stable condition, according to the Philippine consulate in Hong Kong.
Consul General Romulo Victor Israel Jr. broke the news during an interview on dzMM yesterday, on the condition of overseas Filipino worker Rhodora Alcaraz Tuñacao who saved a three-month-old baby — by embracing the infant and protecting him from heavy smoke for several hours — before rescuers found her, the baby and the baby’s mother.
All three survived the fire. However, Tuñacao was brought to the intensive care unit where her condition was critical. Over the weekend, her condition improved and she is now stable.
“We were able to speak to her yesterday (Sunday). The last time I visited her on Saturday, she was still intubated, could not speak and was sedated,” Israel said in Filipino.
“But she felt our presence, opened her eyes and gave us the thumbs up."
