Mayor Sultan Fahad Salic has ordered all his barangay
officials to help secure the pylons of the National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) within their area of responsibility.
Salic issued the order as another pylon was bombed on Friday
night in Barangay Kormatan Matampay, this city.
He said he tasked the barangay officials to secure the
pylons to prevent a repeat of the incident.
Salic said he also directed the barangay officials to
determine the motive of the incident “so the problem can be addressed.”
However, Eng’r. Eugene Bicar, NGCP’s Mindanao
system operations chief, said the suspects behind the incident failed to topple
the tower.
“The steel tower was not toppled down. It is still on its
upright position,” Bicar said.
The incident took place more than a week after two pylons
were bombed and toppled down last October 29 in Barangay Patani, this city.
The October 29 incident caused power outage in several areas
here in Mindanao as the 80 megawatts (MW) Agus 1 and 180 MW Agus 2 plants were
isolated from the Mindanao grid.
