The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has warned the public against the planting of trees or conducting other activities under its transmission line towers.
“Our lines carry very high voltage power. Planting trees or conducting any activities under transmission lines are detrimental to the company’s operations, as well as to public safety,” the NGCP said.
The NGCP warned that three things can happen, including electrocution, accidents, and line trippings. The company also urged the public to report activities under the said transmission lines so that the NGCP can conduct the necessary clearing operations.
