SAN FERNANDO—National Grid Corp. of
the Philippines urged the government to issue a legislation that will penalize
violators of right-of-way.
National Grid spokesman Cynthia
Perez-Alabanza said the move would help ensure that right-of-way issues such as
building structures below transmission facilities were addressed.
“There’s pending bill,”
Perez-Alabanza said.
National Grid, meanwhile, lauded
local government units for supporting moves to address transmission tower
bombings and other right-of-way issues not only in Mindanao but the entire
grid.
National Grid also said various
cities in Mindanao had unanimously stated their support for an earlier
resolution of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Misamis Oriental condemning the spate
of tower bombings.
Representatives of the Sangguniang
Panglungsod of the cities of Dapitan, Oroquieta, Zamboanga, Cotabato, and
Malaybalay acknowledged the detrimental effect of tower bombings, especially
Tower 25 in Ramain, Lanao del Sur, which isolated the Agus hydroplants from the
grid, to the already vulnerable socio-economic and peace and order situation of
Mindanao.
