Philippines - 7 die in hotels blaze

A fire swept through three adjacent hotels in a Philippine resort city early Friday, killing three American retirees, one South Korean and three Filipino women, authorities said.

One of the Americans was trapped on a staircase and the two others died in separate rooms in Olongapo city, a former US naval base west of the capital, Manila, said a government official.

The blaze took hold in a row of adjacent small hotel buildings at 3am and was extinguished 3 hours later.

The cause of the fire was under investigation.

Olongapo is close to the capital and a popular beach destination, especially among American visitors.
