MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, October 25 (PIA) --- The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has reached out to the information officers of Lanao del Norte and Lanao del Sur provinces to spread the message on taking good care of transmission lines.
Beth Ladaga, regional corporate communications and public affairs officer of NGCP in Mindanao, said they are intensifying the information drive on transmission line safety to ensure public safety and continuous delivery of safe and reliable power to consumers.
