Also, the logbook of workers on duty was reportedly lost in the fire, which makes it harder to identify exactly who was inside the building at the time of the accident. Veato Ang, the factory owner, told Al Jazeera that about 200 to 300 people worked in the factory.
After raging for five hours, the fire was finally put out Wednesday morning, and police continue to search for clues at the scene. Jose Soriano Jr., regional director of the Bureau of Fire Protection, told Al Jazeera that as many as 63 people were unaccounted for, and that the death toll is expected to rise as relief efforts continue.
