                    [Summary] => 



Arson investigators are eyeing criminal charges against the owner of the department store in Ormoc City where dozens of shoppers perished in a fire on Christmas Day.


Officials of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) said there was apparent negligence on the part of Unitop department store owners for failing to unlock the emergency exits when the fire broke out.

"The occupants will likely be charged with negligence resulting in multiple homicide and multiple physical injuries for the incident," BFP spokesman Chief Inspector Renato Marcial said.
