NCCC Mall Davao fire
Philippines mall fire: At least 37 feared dead in Davao.
At least 37 people are feared to have died in a fire that tore through a shopping mall in the southern Philippines city of Davao, local officials say.
Firefighters battled for hours to extinguish the blaze that started on the third floor and spread to the floor above, trapping call centre employees.
Their chances of survival were "zero", Davao's Vice-Mayor Paolo Duterte said.
President Rodrigo Duterte, the vice-mayor's father, visited the scene.
President Duterte, a Davao native, met families of the missing outside the burning NCCC mall.
The cause of the fire, which began on Saturday morning, is being investigated.
The mall's marketing manager, Janna Abdullah Mutalib, said the blaze started on the third floor, where clothes, appliances and furniture were sold, the Philippines Star website reports.
Davao lies about 800km (500 miles) south-east of the capital Manila.
The fire comes as the country is coming to terms with a deadly tropical storm.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
