Police have vowed to take swift action against those responsible, amid workers' claims of poor health and safety standards.
"Definitely there will be charges here, because people died," acting national police chief Leonardo Espina said.
Police say the fire started when sparks from welding work ignited flammable chemicals near the building's entrance.
"Regardless of whether it was an accident or arson, people died. We are just determining what exactly happened so that we can clearly define what charges to file," Mr Espina told reporters on Thursday.
The owner of the factory, which is operated by Kentex Manufacturing and produces rubber flip flops and sandals, said about 200 to 300 people were inside the building at the time of the fire.

I hope the investigation is very complete and if someone is responsible they be brought to justice. 
I hadn't heard of this factory fire. Poor people.
May they rest in peace.
