The Philippine National Police (PNP) continues to push
efforts in helping the Armed forces of the Philippines (AFP) in conducting
checkpoints and blocking forces due to the recent bombings incident in the
towers of National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (GCP) in the province Lanao
del Sur.
“We support in conducting of check points. Help control the
main supply route,” PNP Chief Director General Ricardo Marquez told reporters
on Monday.
Marquez also said that the PNP were checking if there were
improvised explosive device on roadsides so that the movements of the AFP would
not be impeded.
PNP expects the reduction of toppling down of power
transmission towers at NGCP by terrorist neutralized by the AFP; several
reports say these groups were responsible for the toppling down of the towers.
NGCP tower No. 5 at Barangay Pantar, Bubong, Lanao del Sur
was bombed last Jan. 18, 2016 and the bombings would aggravate the tenuous
power situation in Mindanao. Another tower was also bombed in Lanao del Norte.
At least 16 towers were bombed last year. The NGPC calls for
PNP and AFP to monitor the safety of the towers so that transmissions services
will not be interrupted.
