The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has successfully energized the transmission line providing power to Mindanao State University (MSU) in Marawi City, in spite of the ongoing conflict in the city. The NGCP said the transmission facility tripped last 23 May when the security crisis in Marawi City started. NGCP personnel began inspecting the line as soon as the military commanders in the area gave clearance. The line crew continued with inspections and repairs while gunfire was heard coming from the peripheral areas of the university compound. We also commend our line crew who conducted repairs amidst audible gunfire.
