We are saddened to learn about the fire, which destroys Phil’s Hardware in Spanish Town St. Catherine a few days ago. This will render that part of Spanish Town a virtual ghost town. Phil’s Hardware directly employed over 70 workers and is responsible for the livelihood of cab drivers, truck drivers and many others who depended on its existence.

 If you shopped at Phil’s’ Hardware you would have seen the hard working, mostly pleasant staff on a daily basis. Recent reports indicated that the fire was as a result of arson. We are hoping this is not part of the extortion racket that has been crippling the country’s businesses in recent times. The police should go all out in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
