BACOLOD CITY— The removal of “spaghetti wires” on posts along San Juan Street in this city was conducted during the weekend at no cost to the city.
Councilor Al Victor Espino said on Sunday that the aim was to remove all the “spaghetti wires” in the city in 140 days to 150 days.
The removal was conducted by representatives of Central Negros Electric Cooperative, and cable and telecommunication firms on orders of Bacolod Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez.
The mayor met with representatives of telecommunication firms on Sunday to also address their concern over the theft of cable wires, which is disrupting service.
The mayor is exploring the possible underground installation of cable wires.
