To prevent lawless elements like the Bangsamoro Islamic
Freedom Fighters from bombing and toppling National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) towers in Central Mindanao, the Armed Forces of the Philippines
announced Monday that it will step-up patrols in areas where these vital
installations are located.
Around 16 NGCP towers were attacked by the BIFF and other
lawless elements last year, resulting to power loss in the region.
Patrol operations will be conducted by military units in the
area, said AFP public affairs office chief Col. Noel Detoyato.
In the same vein, he also urged residents to report
suspicious-looking activities or individuals near NGCP towers.
Extortion attempts are the primary reason for the attack
against the NGCP installations.
