Officials repeatedly stressed that the building should not have contained any fireworks and was illegal due to proximity to residential buildings, prompting a search for the owner.
The explosion of the illegal fireworks warehouse shook dozens of buildings in the surrounding area, destroying glass and other parts of the buildings.
"If we had known it was a fireworks storehouse, we would have closed it down since it is sitting in a residential area," Bunducan district council chief Captain Lauro Tuazon Jr. stressed."Probably, the owners hid it so they could earn a living. They thought it would be good for them, but this is what happened."
The bureau will open an investigation into the cause of the explosion as well as the owners of the building in which the fireworks were stored. They told reporters that the owner went by the name Nenita Oprecio but did not say whether they knew where the owner might be.
