‘Be safe around NGCP facilities’

BALANGA CITY, Bataan—The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines urged the public to be safe around transmission facilities and always bear in mind the safety tips it is constantly promoting.

In her radio guesting at 91.1 Sikat FM here on Thursday, Fely Francisco, NGCP Corporate Regional Communication officer, said the public must not fly kites near transmission lines or climb transmission structures. 

She also advised the public not to build grass fires near or under transmission structures, as the fires may cause power interruption. She likewise urged the public not to plant trees near transmission structures, and any incident of branches tangled with transmission wires must be immediately reported.
