The death toll happened in a rubber slipper factory fire in Valenzuela City already reaches up to 72 on Thursday, a fire official said in a certain interview. The said Fire Senior Superintendent Sergio Soriano Jr. mentioned on Thursday afternoon that the death toll was based on bodies recovered from the site, most of which were found on the second floor of the factory’s building. The Honorable Mayor Rex Gatchalian of Valenzuela City said around 11:45 before said another 26 people were still missing in the gutted Kentex Manufacturing Corp. building and feared dead. The City Mayor also said that at least 30 people had been injured and expressed hope that some of the missing may have escaped.
Lastly City Mayor Gatchalian said in a televised press briefing that the city government is still praying and hoping that the 26, some of them, must have gotten out earlier in the morning and had gone to relatives and have not logged on at city hall. So we are still hoping that the number 26 will still go down." We are hoping for the fast and immediate response of the concerned company and the government regarding this issue.
