Philippine authorities ordered a criminal investigation Monday into a shopping mall fire that authorities said likely killed 37 people jordan 13 retro wheat , including call centre staff from an American firm.


Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre announced the inquiry as firemen prepared to enter what remained of the NCCC mall in the southern city of Davao where they hope to retrieve those who perished in Saturday's blaze.


The fire compounded the Christmas misery in the south of the mainly Catholic nation where tens of thousands were also displaced by floods and landslides from a storm that also killed more than 200 others on Friday.


"The loss of lives and the resulting damage... underscore the need to determine if someone is at fault and should be held criminally liable," Aguirre said in a statement.


"By punishing those responsible, we can set an example to others so that, hopefully, there will be no repetition of those tragedies," he added.

"There is no truth to that allegation. In fact as per accounts of those who got out, they were able get out thru the fire exit," Thea Padua, the mall's public relations officer, told AFP by text message.


Some relatives of those missing criticised rescuers for what they felt was the slow pace of recovery efforts.

The plan by China's central bank to cut the reserve requirement ratio (RRR), or the amount of cash that banks must hold in reserve, will not affect policymakers' resolve to reduce financial risks, a State English newspaper quoted an official as saying on Monday.


The senior central bank official, who was not identified jordan 13 wheat , told the paper that the planned cut would also not impede policymakers' determination to lower bank leverage ratios.


The paper said RRR cuts had been made before to supplement liquidity during capital outflow surges and falls in foreign exchange reserves, but that was not the case this time as inflows into China have been strong.


"Some financial institutions that have appealed for an easing of monetary policy have felt some liquidity stress during the [anti-leverage] campaign to tame interbank borrowing in order to prevent systemic risks," he added.


While China expects the US Dollar Index to strengthen following an interest rate rise, the overall impact on China's foreign exchange policy will be limited, the official noted.
