The country's grid operator, National Grid Corporation of
the Philippines (NGCP), has restored power in North Mindanao after two
transmission towers were bombed by armed men in North Cotabato Friday.
In a statement Saturday, the NGCP said that power
transmission service to the affected areas, namely Cotabato
City , North and South
Cotabato , and Maguindanao, was restored at 2:33 a.m. Saturday.
NGCP said tower 44 and tower 45 were toppled using an
improvised explosive device (IED) on Friday at 11:34 p.m.
The transmission company added it has coordinated with the
authorities to investigate the incident.
Last Jan 13, another explosion toppled the towers of NGCP in
Pikit, Cotabato, bringing blackouts for more than two hours.
