Star City denies arson in 14-hour blaze
MANILA, Philippines — The management of Star City on Sunday dismissed suspicion that the theme park in Pasay City might have been deliberately set on fire.
The owners of Star City said it was inappropriate for the Bureau of Fire Protection to make such conclusion pending the result of probe.
“We not aware of any motive, including financial gain, that would induce the commission of arson, especially on the part of Star City as the business is profitable and a bumper Christmas season was expected,” the park said in a statement published on its Facebook page.
The Star City management said there was nothing unusual about bringing cotton into the complex because it is used for stuffed toys that are given away as prizes.
“The circumstances earlier cited in the media cannot, therefore, be concluded that there was arson,” it said.
