MANILA, Philippines — Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio Sunday said firefighters have recovered one body from a burning shopping mall amid fear that there might be no chance of survival for the 36 others still trapped inside. But the Davao City mayor assured that firefighters would not stop until they find all those reported missing. Firefighters fought for the second day on Sunday the blaze that hit the four-story NCCC Mall in Davao City. Duterte served as Davao City mayor for many years before being elected to the presidency last year. The Bureau of Fire Protection is currently determining the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage.
