NGCP ups drive vs powerline pilferage

LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte — The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines  has intensified its campaign against pilferage of transmission line materials through an information drive in secondary schools in Zambales and the Ilocos region.

NGCP North Luzon Spokesperson Lilibeth P. Gaydowen said the series of talks on its anti-pilferage advocacy was held recently in five schools in Zambales; two in Ilocos Sur; and two more in Ilocos Norte.

She said the discussions delved on “the impact of transmission line pilferage on power service delivery and public safety.” -- Freddie G. Lazaro
