“We cannot afford the handicap of a lagging telecommunications infrastructure.”
As a consumer advocate for the evolving interplay of government and private efforts for our survival and revival, the undeniable lifesaver that has become essential to our economic continuity is our systemic shift to digital technologies. Observing the day-to-day challenges faced by Filipino consumers since the lockdowns began nearly a year ago, I came up with this short list of three indispensable technologies we need to get through this deep economic depression and recover.

In a statement, the NGCP said at 1:11 pm on Tuesday, January 19, the NGCP was able to re-energize the Agus 5-Aurora 138KV line after it tripped at 8:30 am Tuesday, causing a total blackout in the Northwestern Mindanao area. The blackout affected customers of at least six electric cooperatives in Misamis Occidental, Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga City and Lanado del Norte.
The NGCP had to trim what it described as “maliciously planted vegetation which caused the fault at Sitio Taytay, Ditucalan, Iligan City”.
“The vegetation overgrowth was caused by the landowner’s refusal to allow NGCP to conduct line clearing activities,” it said.

ILIGAN CITY – A tower of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Poona, Tangcal, Lanao del Norte, may have been intentionally toppled due to pilferage of transmission line parts, and this had caused widespread power interruption in parts of Zamboanga Peninsula, Misamis Oriental and Lanao del Norte on Monday, January 18.
According to NGCP, the alleged sabotage at tower 60 in the Balo-i-Aurora 138kV line occurred at around 10:13 a.m., Monday, that immediately caused load dropping in at least five electric cooperatives starting at 10:17 a.m.
NGCP officials are now working with authorities to secure the area, and to identify the perpetrators of the sabotage.
