Rhodora Alcaraz returned to the Philippines yesterday, December 16, 2025 after her recovery from the residential building Wang Fuk fire incident in Hong Kong last November 26, 2025. 

She was the one confined in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after saving her employer’s baby from the fire.

Philippine Consul General Romulo Victor M. Israel Jr. reported her recovering condition on December 1, 2025.

President Bongbong Marcos Jr. recognized her heroism amidst the massive and dangerous fire incident. 

“Sa kabila ng panganib [na] kanyang hinarap ay pinili niyang iligtas ang sanggol na kanyang inaalagaan. Pinapakita nito ang likas na malasakit ng Pilipino sa kanyang kapwa.” PBBM said. [“Amidst the danger she faced, she chose to save the baby. This shows the compassionate nature of the Filipino towards their fellow man.”]
