MANILA- Reelectionist Senator JV Ejercito said on Monday he lost his decade-old car in a building fire.

Ejercito said his Toyoto Sequioa was among those that burned down in a blaze that hit an auto-shop along EDSA's southbound lane near Connecticut Street.

"I feel sad, my car for the past 10 years, my Toyota Sequioa burned in the fire at Autoplus Car Center this morning," he said in a tweet.

Ejercito described the vehicle as his "lucky car."

"Feeling sentimental because we’ve been through so many battles and it was my most reliable, not to mention 'lucky' car. Will be missing this car," he added.

Firefighters are still working to put out the fire as of posting.
