National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines sought a temporary restraining order against the Sambitory family
in order to complete damaged transmission lines located in its property.
The Sambitory family has
consistently refused National Grid, operator of the country’s transmission
facility, entry to the property in Mindanao to repair Tower #25 of Agus
2-Kibawe 138kV line.
Tower #25 was bombed on December 24,
2015, rendering the Agus 2-Kibawe 138kV line non-operational.
National Grid said two hydro power
plants—Agus 1 and Agus 2—both connected to the grid through the said
transmission line have been isolated, further straining the power supply
situation in Mindanao.
National Grid, in a complaint filed
with the Regional Trial Court Branch in Marawi City sought the injunction to
compel the defendants [Sambitory family] to stop committing acts that
prevent the transmission line operator from entering the property.
The grid operator said it could not
perform its mandate to repair the damaged transmission facilities if the family
continued to deny it access to the property. Alena Mae S. Flores
