16yo preggy shot after attending court hearing

By CRIS DIAZ Executive Editor

CAGAYAN de Oro City--A 16-year-old pregnant minor survived when shot by riding-in-tandem suspects along Fr. Masterson Avenue in Upper Carmen here after attending a court hearing Tuesday morning.

Vicky, not her real name, of Kapatagan, Lanao del Norte, accompanied by her mother and an unknown lady companion, are waiting for a ride when waylaid by two unidentified helmetwearing gunmen ridingin-tandem, one them shot her at close range.

Police Major Ian Borinaga, the police station commander of Carmen, said that the suspect probably aimed at the victim’s head and fired two shots, but missed thus hitting the neck instead.

Another ML extension? No need, says PNP THE Philippine National Police (PNP) on Tuesday said there may be no need for another extension of martial law in Mindanao which will lapse by year-end.

PNP spokesperson, Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac, said the crime rate

in Mindanao is on a decline and security forces are able to control the proliferation of loose firearms in the area.

“Sa ngayon, nakikita natin na maaari na rin talagang tanggalin ang martial law sa buong kapuluan

ng Mindanao (For now, we see that the martial law in Mindanao can be lifted),” Banac told reporters when sought for a comment in press briefing held at Camp Crame on Tuesday.

KIDAPAWAN City––After the powerful quakes, a hailstorm.

Makeshift tents in some evacuation camps along or near the national highway in Makilala, North Cotabato collapsed due to a hailstorm at around 3;30 p.m. prompting government to relocate the evacuees (bakwits).

HAILSTORM, a hailstorm is an unusual weather phenomenon in which balls of ice, called hail, fall from the sky. The ice balls are nothing more than solid precipitation that will form under certain conditions.

Hail is formed at high altitudes within massive clouds when supercooled water droplets adhere to each other and form layers of ice.

The average velocity of a falling hailstone is approximately 106 miles per hour (mph).

What causes a hailstorm to occur?

TF Balik Loob distributes more than Php4.5M cash aid to 79 former rebels in Bukidnon

M

ALAYBALAY CITY -- Seventynine former members of the New People’s Army (NPA) in Bukidnon received more than Php4,5 million worth of government aid from Task Force (TF) Balik Loob Friday, November 8, here.

Under the President’s TF Balik-Loob program, former NPA rebels are entitled to receive immediate cash assistance, livelihood fund assistance, and firearms remuneration funds for firearms turned-in the amount of which will vary depending on the type of weapon.

Aside from the cash assistance, the former rebels (FRs) also went through a series of psychosocial interventions as part of the process of their mainstreaming and reintegration into communities.

"These FRs are victims of circumstances and exploitation by the local communist whose desire is to grab political power at the expense of our indigent brothers and sisters. The local communist leaders deprived our people of the opportunity to improve their lives. The exploited youths could have finished school, found jobs, and spent time with their families. They were taught

by NPA cadres to lie and cheat, that they even lie when asked of their names.

They were taught to defy

their parents so it would be easy for them to defy and rebel against the government, said Brigadier General Edgardo De Leon, Commander of Army's 403rd Infantry Brigade in Northern Mindanao.

He said NPA recruiters promised to provide a Php5,000 monthly allowance, one sack of rice, and land title if they join, only to realize that they were just fooled.

"The government helps them regain the dignity of a human being. DepEd provides them continuing education through the Alternative Learning System.

TESDA and DOLE also provide skills and livelihood training for them.

Just a few months ago, the Department of Agriculture gave us a farm tractor for the use of former combatants in their training and production. We made for them a model farm planted with adlai, dragon fruit, and vegetables which they could replicate in their settlement," De Leon added.

TF Balik Loob, the government's overseer of the

This means that those who are thinking of rejoining the NPA will have to suffer the consequences of either being killed in military operations or being jailed.

"We have a stringent process of monitoring and verification system," Sunga added.

Enhanced Comprehensive Local Integration Program (ECLIP), reported that Northern Mindanao is among the top 4 regions in the country in terms of ECLIP beneficiaries. The others are Regions 11, 12 and 13.

ECLIP, however, is not going to be forever. According to DILG 10 Assistant Regional Director Yvette Sunga, the government intends to end the local communist armed conflict soon by proactive efforts of preventing further NPA recruitment.

Zero recruitment means zero NPAs in the future.

Sunga further clarified that those who already availed of E-CLIP would not qualify to avail again.

SoCot targets 114K kids for polio immunization

By ALLEN ESTABILLO

GENERAL SANTOS CITY -- Health personnel in South Cotabato province are targeting to cover around 114,000 infants and children in the upcoming Mindanaowide immunization campaign against polio.

Dr. Rogelio Aturdido Jr., head of the South Cotabato Integrated Provincial Health Office (IPHO), said Tuesday they are finalizing their preparations for the campaign, which is the first of the two rounds set until January next year by the Department of Health (DOH).

Dubbed “Sabayang Patak Kontra Polio,” he said the immunization drive was set from Nov. 25 to Dec. 7. The DOH scheduled the second round on Jan. 6 to Jan. 18, 2020.

BENJAMIN G. GUIMONG. MDN: NOV. 13, 16 & 23, 2019

Aturdido said the target 114,000 recipients, which are about 11.6 percent of the province’s population, comprise children aged five-years-old and below that should be immunized against poliovirus, which causes the dreaded poliomyelitis.

“Of that number, we’re aiming to achieve a coverage rate of at least 95 percent,” he told reporters.

Genesis Navales, IPHO’s immunization coordinator, said health teams from the provincial and municipal health offices as well as barangay health stations will be deployed in parts of the province for the campaign.

As a strategy, she said they have set fixed immunization points, such as barangay hall and health centers, while teams will also be assigned to do house-tohouse vaccination.

She said they are also considering putting up vaccination posts in shopping malls, schools, terminals and other public convergence areas like parks.

“This is to ensure that we capture more eligible children and meet the 95 percent target,” Navales See POLIO, page 10

Robredo certain to fail vs. drugs, too

LIE’S INSPIRATIONS: “…

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will…”

(Romans 12:2, the Holy Bible).

-oooROBREDO CERTAIN TO FAIL VS. DRUGS, TOO: If President Duterte wasn’t able to stop the proliferation of illegal drugs even if the first three years of his term as the undisputed leader of the country have already lapsed, using a deadly and truly harsh campaign against the scourge even, it is at once evident and clear that Vice President Robredo will not be able to solve the problem too, during the six-months

period given to her by the President.

The President’s own failure to curb the country’s problem on illegal drugs, notwithstanding his use of harsh measures, can only mean one thing---solving this malady of gargantuan proportions using the tactics already utilized or employed by the President or authorized by law has proven to be useless and inutile. A new approach has to be crafted against drugs, and this is what everyone---including the President and the Vice President---should be seriously thinking about.

We have to pay attention to the truth that illegal drugs continue to proliferate simply because of the huge financial rewards that those dealing with it are

reaping. And this nefarious trade gives rise to handsome monetary benefits simply because there are many Filipinos deeply addicted to illegal drugs then and now. I have been told that what is at stake here is an annual take of trillions of pesos give or take a few billions.

-oooONLY SOLUTION VS. DRUGS: TAKE THIS VICE OUT FROM FILIPINOS: That having been said, any plan or any course of action against illegal drugs in the country should of necessity try to deal likewise with some strategies as to how to stop Filipinos from using illegal drugs. Indeed, if there are going to be no users or abusers of drugs, no one will be buying the

Batas Mauricio

substance anymore. And when no one is going to buy, nobody but nobody is going to sell. Case closed!

It is as simple as that.

The question, however, is this: what must we do to drive away our countrymen from the abuse or use of drugs? There are plenty of things we can do, but I submit that the primary step that needed to be made is the re-shaping of the thought patterns of every single Filipino (most specially the youth of today), so they could be guided back to God via the sustained teaching of His great love for mankind.

Nuts & Bolts

10 Tips for Maintaining Hotel Exteriors

YOU never get a second chance to make a great first impression. The same goes for a hotel’s exteriors, too.

An attractive and wellmaintained building can be a welcoming sight to guests and a boon to the hotel’s bottom line.

During the course my hotel career I have worked with owners to knows the importance of repairs and maintenance. Having been always advising owners to be proactive when it comes to maintaining the property’s exterior for years to come.

Buy setting funds and do an inspection and evaluation every five to seven years.

Here, are 10 common factors related to exterior building construction proj-

ects: 1. As buildings age, maintenance to exterior walls, window systems, and roofs becomes extremely important. Leaks can occur for a number of reasons, age being one of the most obvious.

2. Materials age on the exterior of buildings and deteriorate in cycles.

3. Budgeting and funding of capital improvement projects is difficult without qualified assistance.

4. Determination of exterior building costs are uncertain to untrained and unqualified eyes.

5. Moisture intrusion issues and deficiencies attribute to significant loss of revenue and guest-service

point scores. Interiors are re-modeled before leaks are repaired on the exterior of the building.

6. Exterior building image or appearance is not considered as important as interior lobby or guestroom appearances. Funding is more difficult to obtain and allocate.

7. Engineering personnel changes may cause transitional issues with exterior building maintenance: for example, documentation of leaks that have re-occurred multiple times without correction of the primary leak source.

8. Building document retention and record keeping is generally lacking in most hotels.

JEROME DE LA FUENTE

9. Exterior building construction projects, depending on their complexity, don’t necessarily displace guests, place guestrooms out of service, or significantly reduce revenue to the hotel.

10. Successful exterior building construction projects take extensive planning, scheduling and communication between all parties, including the design professional/building envelope consultant, owner, hotel operator/GM and contractors.

Think A Minute

Finish well

THINK a minute.

Watching the Olympics can be both inspiring and heartbreaking.

It is easy to get caught up both with “the thrill of victory” and “the agony of defeat.”

This is especially true when the world’s greatest athletes, who have worked so hard their entire lives, lose by only a fraction of a second!

Even with all their years of daily discipline and training, they still must finish well!

“Almost” winning does not count. No one is remembered and rewarded for what they “almost” did.

In the 2008 B eijing Olympics, both the US men’s and women’s 400 meter

relay teams learned this the hard way.

They ran well for most of the race, but then just near the end they dropped the baton.

One of them, Tyson Gay, who was the 2007 world champion in both the 200 and 100 meter dashes, left the Olympics empty-handed with not even a single medal.

He can tell you about the agony of not finishing well!

In 2003, after 22 years of exploration, the Space Shuttle Columbia went on its 28th mission, this time with seven astronauts on board. They were on a 16day journey into space to conduct important experiments.

Everything went well and they achieved their goals,

so they were returning to earth from their successful mission. They were just 16 minutes from landing… when suddenly the Space Shuttle Columbia exploded!

Only tiny pieces were left of what was one of history’s most sophisticated machines and masterpieces of engineering. But the even greater tragedy was the sudden loss of those seven brave and brilliant astronauts.

They came so close, only 16 minutes from home, but they did not make it.

It is not how you start, but how you finish that determines everything. In the most important matters of life and death, right and wrong, “almost” does not count!

You have to finish well.

Jhan Tiafau Hurst

If you let yourself be distracted or detoured, even just a little, it can end up destroying you! So don’t wait another minute!

Won’t you ask Jesus to take full charge of your heart and daily way of living?

He made it crystal clear that if you truly love Him, you will wholeheartedly live His way every day.

Only then, with His help and power, can you be sure you will live well and finish well.

Just think a minute.

DSWD appeals to public not to give alms to street children, indigenous peoples T HE DEPARTMENT of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) reiterates its appeal to the public to refrain from giving alms to street children, homeless individuals, and members of Indigenous Peoples’ (IP) groups.

This is pursuant to Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1563 or the Anti-Mendicancy Law which prohibits begging or soliciting of charitable donations by the

poor and other religious organizations on the streets.

Instead of giving alms, especially during the coming Christmas season, DSWD advises the public to provide responsible types of assistance such as conducting organized gift-giving and caroling activities, feeding sessions, story-telling, and medical missions at the activity centers in the local government units (LGUs) to keep street dwellers and IP groups away from men-

THE DEPARTMENT of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) explains that the Listahanan 3 or the 3rd Round Nationwide Household Assessment aims to identify who and where the poor are in the country and does not determine additional beneficiaries nor delist ineligible households under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).

This came following the circulation of news reports and infographics stating that the assessment would give non-beneficiaries a chance to be included in the 4Ps and for ineligible families to be removed from the program.

DSWD warns the public against unofficial infographics which are now going viral over Facebook. The Department urges the public to refer only to infographics and other materials posted on the official DSWD Face-

book page, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and Twitter account, @dswdserves.

Listahanan or the database of poor households will be the end-product of the nationwide assessment.

DSWD, through Listahanan, is mandated by Executive Order No. 867 Series of 2010 to adopt a targeting system as the standard mechanism for identifying poor households who shall be potential recipients of social protection programs nationwide.

Its main objective is to formulate a unified criteria for the identification of the poor through scientific means.

DSWD shall maintain the system and update its data every four years.

Listahanan is not equal to 4Ps since it is only one of the programs using the database. The initial list of potential beneficiaries for

Anti-bullying measures must be strengthened

By MINERVA BALSAMO MONTECALVO Teacher III Assistant Principal Doña Josefa Pelaez Reyes Elementary School

HOW you respond can make an impact on bullying over time. Find out what you can do to stop it on the spot and support the kids involved.

When teachers respond quickly and consistently to bullying behavior, they send the message that it is not acceptable. Research shows this can stop bullying behavior over time.

There are simple steps teachers can take to stop bullying on the spot and keep schoolchildren safe.

Intervene immediately.

It is okay to get another adult to help. Separate the schoolchildren involved.

Make sure everyone is safe. Meet any immediate medical or mental health needs. Stay calm. Reassure the schoolchildren involved, including by-

standers. Model respectful behavior when you intervene.

Get police help or medical attention immediately if a weapon is involved, there are threats of serious physical injury, threats of hate-motivated violence such as racism or homophobia, serious bodily harm, sexual abuse or if there is a presence of anyone accused of an illegal act such as robbery or extortion – using force to get money, property or services.

All kids involved in bullying – whether they are bullied, bully others or see bullying – can be affected.

It is important to support all kid involved to make sure the bullying doesn’t continue and effects can be minimized.

dicant activities that may endanger their lives.

Together with LGUs, the Department operates and manages community-based child-friendly spaces or activity centers where street children can play, learn, eat, bathe, and socialize as they are monitored and cared for by social workers and volunteers.

Programs, services for street dwellers DSWD works hand-inhand with LGUs, which are

the primary responders in addressing the needs of street dwellers, by providing them with technical assistance and resource augmentation to efficiently and effectively deliver their services to the marginalized and poor sectors of society.

Through its Field Offices (FOs), DSWD provides programs for street dwellers under the Comprehensive Program for Street Children, Street Families, and Indigenous Peoples especially

Sama-Bajaus. The program features an integrated approach in responding to the needs of the street children and their families, and Sama-Bajau members with the ultimate goal of contributing to the reduction of their vulnerabilities and mendicant activities.

DSWD also implements the Modified Conditional Cash Transfer for Homeless Street Families (MCCTHSF), an expansion of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pili-

pino Program (4Ps), which specifically caters to homeless families living on the streets.

B e ne f it s u nd e r t he MCCT-HSF include education and health grants; access to social services; economic opportunities; and rent subsidy for a period of six to 12 months or depending on the capability of the household-beneficiaries to improve their living condition.

During the immunization activity, she said children will get two drops of monovalent oral polio vaccine type 2.

She said children who will receive the vaccines will be marked with indelible inks on their “little pinkies” and they will be recorded properly by health workers to ensure proper monitoring.

Navales urged parents to submit their children for immunization to ensure that they will be protected from the disease.

“Regardless of the immunization status, all eligible

children should get the vaccine. This is different from the routine vaccination,” she said.

Aturdido assured that the polio vaccines are safe and are proven to be effective based on studies made by the DOH and the World Health Organization.

He said vaccination is the best way to prevent any infection and the possible spread of polio, which he considers as a big risk for the province following the recent confirmation of positive cases in nearby Maguindanao province.

“That is a big risk for us because Maguindanao is so close to the province.

Meanwhile, delisting of 4Ps beneficiaries is done through the Grievance Redress System (GRS) of the program and not through Listahanan. GRS follows a process to validate the delisting of beneficiaries which are based on factors such as fraud, waived enrolment, no more eligible members, and income is

“The bullet exited on the victim’s face who was immediately rushed to the hospital,” Borinaga said.

He said that the police investigators are still establishing the motive of the shooting.

An initial investigation disclosed that the victim and her mother had a hearing at the Hall of Justice at Fr. Masterson Avenue on a case filed by the victim against a police officer in Misamis Oriental.

Police investigators said that the victim reportedly worked as a house helper of the suspect, but went home after filing a case against the police officer with attempted rape.

Borinaga said that the police are still conducting a probe of the incident and refused to talk about the alleged case.

Villanueva also announced through her FB page that displaced residents in the Santos Land evacuation camp will be transferred to Makilala High School.

Setting up 30 DSWD tents for Makilala Elem School as well. Preparing clothes, blankets and malong based sa stocks na available. Salamat sa mg nag donate ug banig and habol” (Thank you o those who donated mats and blanket), Villanueva said.

Several netizens posted photos and video clips of the storm.

Ra Zel Epulac posted on her Facebook wall photos of tents that were destroyed or thrown serveral meters away. Some belongings were also blown away by strong winds.

Kaye Llenado also posted that the hailstorm left their belonging, including their blankets and clothes, wet.

On Nescy Jazmin’s FB wall were images of small ice balls or hailstones that dropped on their tents at the evacuation site. (Malu Cadelina-Manar / MindaNews)

PNP will submit its recommendation on the matter to the National Security Council in December.

He also said a heightened alert status is still needed in some parts of the island.

“Mananatili lamang mataas ang alert level doon sa bahagi ng Sulu na kung saan mayroon pa ring pinaghihinalaang presensya ng terrorist group na Abu Sayyaf (The alert level will remain high only in Sulu area due to the presence of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group),” Banac said.

He added that security officials have yet to discuss

the matter of implementing martial law in selected areas in the region.

On Monday, Defense Secretary Lorenzana said he is not keen to recommend another extension of martial law in Mindanao but said he would wait for the recommendation from the police and military regarding the matter.

The defense chief said the enactment of a stronger law amending Republic Act 9372 or the Human Security Act of 2007 (HSA) is a better option than martial law extension.

However, Lorenzana said he will act accordingly in case the AFP and PNP decide to recommend another martial law extension.

National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr. earlier said another extension of martial law would no longer be necessary if Congress is able to pass a measure that amends the HSA. RA 9372, which took effect on March 6, 2007, is meant to provide law enforcement and judicial authorities with the legal tools to confront terror threats in the country.

Duterte declared martial law in Mindanao on May 23, 2017 following attacks launched by the Islamic State-linked Maute Group in Marawi City, Lanao del Sur. It has since been in effect after Congress, in special joint sessions, voted to approve its extension thrice -- from July 1 to Dec. 31, 2017; from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2018; and from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2019.

Hailstorm... from page 1

required in the atmosphere in order for hailstorms to occur. Highly developed Cumulonimbus clouds need to be present.

These are the massive anvil or mushroom shaped clouds that are seen during thunderstorms which can reach heights up to 65,000 feet. There must also be strong currents of air ascending through these clouds. These currents are commonly known as updrafts. The updrafts contain ice particles, as a large number of water droplets become solid ice at the low temperatures found at high altitudes within the massive clouds. The last remaining condition is that the clouds will need to contain high concentrations of supercooled liquid water.

How does hail form?

A hailstone begins as a water droplet that is swept up by an updraft inside of a thundercloud. Inside the cloud, there are a large number of other supercooled water droplets already present.

These supercooled particles will adhere to the water droplet’s surface, forming layers of ice around it. As the water droplet reaches higher elevations within the cloud it comes into contact with more and more supercooled particles. This is because

Wednesday, November 13, 2019 it is at the highest parts of the cloud, where the temperature is too low (at least 32 degrees Fahrenheit) for water molecules to remain in either a liquid or gaseous state. The hail embryo will grow larger and larger as it reaches higher altitudes in the updraft.

The hailstone will reach a size and weight where gravity will begin to act on it and pull it down. However, this is not necessarily the end of its formation, as it could be pulled into another strong updraft and remain in the upper part of the cloud. A stone the size of a golf ball would need an updraft flowing at 60 miles per hour (mph) to keep it elevated in the cloud. The size the hailstone reaches depends on the amount of time it spends surrounded by supercooled water droplets, but eventually gravity causes the stone to fall to the Earth.

During this process hailstones can become considerably large. In 2010, the largest hailstone found in the United States (Vivian, South Dakota) was 8 inches in diameter, 18.5 inches in circumference, and weighed approximately two pounds.

As gravity takes over, they will fall to Earth at approximately 106 miles per hour.

The exact velocity each stone falls at will vary depending on several conditions, such as weight, air friction and collisions with other suspended objects. source: www.phenomena.org

God Himself came to earth, and that He came here and allowed His flesh to be stripped from His bones, and His blood to be spilled on dry ground, and His Spirit to separate from his earthly flesh, to make sure that those who believe and have faith in Him will have a successful and prosperous life, their sins forgiven, and are assured of their slots in Paradise, in the presence of God, in eternal life.

We must fill our minds with the power of God to respond to all our needs on a daily basis. Our consciousness must always be reminded that God is everready to give in to our petitions, prayers, and requests, if we will only faithfully listen to Him and obey His commands every minute of our lives.

We must stop our longrunning and lengthy separation from the Word of God, the Bible. We should strive to go back to the Bible, sincerely obeying the commands written in its verses. That, and nothing else, would be the magic formula that would enable our countrymen to wring themselves away from dangerous and sinful acts, like addiction to drugs.

We should try this, while there is still time. All of us are loved ever so dearly by God, and that is the truth we can hold on to and live by everyday!

Story and Photos by MARK FRANCISCO, Lifestyle Editor

HE people of Caraga, composed of five provinces, will finally get a glimpse how it feels like living in a condominium.

This after CoHo

by Vista Land opened the model showroom of the region's first condominium, The Soleia, last Saturday (November 9, 2019) in Butuan City.

Rising in Montalban St., barangay Villa Kananga in the said city, The Soleia will be composed of four residential buildings at seven levels each.

CoHo Mindanao area head Carlo Refamonte said the company would have opted to construct taller due to high demand but local regulations limit the height of structures in Butuan City, thus the decision to spread out the 442 units in

several buildings.

"Butuanons and the people of the whole Caraga are really excited about their first vertical development. They are all looking forward investing in their first condo," Refamonte quipped.

The Soleia has three unit variants - one bedroom (30 square meter area), one bedroom (36 square meter area) and two bedrooms.

The first level for Buildings 2 and 3 will be allotted for commercial ventures, adhering to Vista Land's policy of integrated development.

The Soleia (French for flower) will have

family-friendly amenities such as a guard house, function hall, fitness gym, play park, high-speed elevator system, clubhouse, sky gardens in each building and swimming pool.

Its distinctive CoHo features

will include home automation-ready, electric perimeter fence and access to Vista leasing services.

It is less than 20 minutes connecting to key downtown areas such as ACE Medical Hospital, SM City Butuan, Sprinkles Water

Park, Butuan Doctors Hospital, Robinsons Place Butuan, Butuan City Hall, National Museum, Butuan Sports Complex, Fr. Saturnino Urios University, Gaisano Mall Butuan and Butuan Airport, among others.

The Soleia is part

of CoHo, Vista Land's newest brand for beautiful, stylish and high quality midrise developments in highly urbanized locations here in the country.

The Soleia offering a distinct and curated lifestyle experience.

NGCP restores earthquake-damaged Kidapawan Substation ahead of schedule NGCP has restored its Kidapawan Substation on Sunday, November 10, ahead of its November 17 target energization. The substation is now ready to fully accommodate power from Mt. Apo Geothermal Power Plant (MAGPP) to the Mindanao grid once it goes online.

The Kidapawan Substation suffered damage to its high voltage substation equipment and control room facilities

due to the magnitude 6.7 earthquake in Tulunan, Cotabato last October 31.

Access to the substation was also initially hindered by landslides around the area, necessitating rescue of substation personnel by chopper. Despite the damage to facilities, supply of power to electricity consumers in the area was uninterrupted as NGCP was able to shift and transfer power supply through its Tacurong

Substation.

As soon as the situation in the area was deemed safe and passable, NGCP deployed its personnel to assess the substation damage and implement a restoration plan. This plan involved clearing of debris; design and installation of scaffolding/ support structures; removal of damaged high-voltage equipment; and installation, testing, and evaluation of new

equipment.

“We are pleased to report that with the collective efforts of our Mindanao personnel and additional line crews from Visayas and South Luzon, we were able to energize Kidapawan Substation and Kidapawan-Matanao 138kV Line 1 and 2 one week ahead of schedule.

Our customers can be assured that we will continue monitoring the situation in the area,”

stated the company.

NGCP defers to the DOE on the status of generation, subtransmission lines owned by the electric cooperatives, and distribution lines.

NGCP is a Filipino-led, privately owned company in charge of operating, maintaining, and developing the country’s power grid, led by majority shareholders Henry Sy, Jr. and Robert Coyiuto, Jr.
