by 86 Comments

DAVAO CITY, Philippines — It is a sad Christmas for Davao people.

At 3:20 this morning, no less than President Rodrigo Duterte echoed to the families the briefing he got from the Bureau of Fire ground commander that  “Chances of survival is zero” for the 37 missing employees trapped inside the comfort room of the third floor of NCCC Mall Davao building.

Duterte was emotional while he consoled the families and relatives of the victims.

His daughter Davao Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio joined him as they inspect the affected areas around the mall while  rescue operation was ongoing in the most affected areas.
