The blaze immediately spread to the houses made of light materials.
Village officials said the daughter returned to the house upon learning that her bedridden father was left inside.
Both the father and her daughter failed to come out of the burning house.
Responding firefighters found difficulty putting out the blaze due to narrow streets.

Some 50 families affected by the fire are temporarily sheltered at the Jose Rizal Elementary School.
An investigation is ongoing on what started the blaze.
