A MAJOR oil company could still be held liable for the gas leak that caused an explosion in Quezon City on Sunday, although it had agreed to shoulder the medical expenses of victims and the repair of damaged property.
The Quezon City fire department said it would file charges of reckless imprudence resulting in damage to property and physical injuries against Shell and Darnel Imbo, driver of the leaking tanker, when the victims filed their affidavits.
