On a Sunday morning in Quezon City, fire touched the edges of the Philippine legislature — not its chambers or records, but the quarters of those who keep it running. A first-alarm blaze at the House of Representatives complex in Batasan was contained within half an hour, leaving no injuries and raising quiet questions about the conditions that allowed it to rise at all. In the architecture of institutions, it is often the unseen spaces — the workers' rooms, the back corridors — where vulnerability quietly accumulates.
