                    [Title] => Manila officials push for Pandacan depot transfer
                    [Summary] => Following the tragic fire in the Manor Hotel in Quezon City last Aug. 18, Manila officials are seriously considering the transfer of the Pandacan oil depot.


Councilors Marlon Lacson and Kim Atienza have filed a resolution in the city council calling for the orderly phase-out and eventual transfer of the depot.

Manila is the only city in the world which has a gasoline and oil depot in the middle of the city which could explode and cause widespread devastation, according to the two councilors.
