                    [Summary] => Three transmission towers of the state-run National Transmission Corp. (TransCo) in the cities of Marawi and Iligan and Lanao del Norte were bombed, causing no immediate outages but triggering a security alert in the region, officials said yesterday.


Identical homemade bombs toppled a transmission tower of TransCo in Marawi City late Tuesday and downed another in nearby Baloi town in Lanao del Norte Sunday, the company said in a statement.

A third tower in Iligan City was bombed on Sunday, causing it to lean precariously and damaging one of its cables, the company said.
