GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Dec. 19 (PIA) -- Major power transmission lines of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) remained operational even as tropical storm “Sendong” battered Mindanao on weekend. | |||
Milfrance “Bambie” Q. Capulong, NGCP’s regional corporate communications officer, said power transmission service provider and grid operator of the NGCP continued to monitor the effects of the tropical storm “Sendong” on power transmission facilities in Mindanao. | |||
As of Sunday, Capulong revealed that the “major power transmission lines of NGCP, the backbone lines of the power grid, have not been affected with a sustained fault.” | |||
“There were two momentary faults, but these were immediately restored,” she explained. | |||
Earlier, Capulong said necessary preparations and precautions had been implemented to minimize the impact of the storm on NGCP operation and facilities. | |||
“These include ensuring the availability of hardware materials and supplies necessary for the repair of damages to facilities, as well as the positioning of line crews in strategic areas, to facilitate immediate restoration work,” she said. | |||
Meanwhile, Capulong revealed that the four sub-transmission lines which delivered power to Cagayan de Oro City and Bislig City were affected by the storm. | |||
“These, however, have been restored after aerial patrol and repair of said lines have been done the whole day of Saturday,” she said. | |||
Tropical Storm “Sendong” made a landfall in the afternoon of Friday, Dec 16 in Hinatuan, Surigao del Norte, and devastated other areas of Visayas and Mindanao on weekend. | |||
As of 6:00 a.m. today, the National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (NDRRMC) recorded 533 deaths, 16 injured, and 309 are still missing. (PGF/PIA Gensan with reports from NGCP) | |||
