MANILA: A Globe Telecom cellsite was bombed in Zamboanga del Norte on Tuesday morning, injuring a security guard.
Authorities said an improvised explosive device was used in the bombing of the cellsite, at Barangay Poblacion in Siocon, Zamboanga Del Norte. The attack, meanwhile, had no effect on Globe’s service in the area.
“Our guard on duty suffered very minor injuries and was immediately given treatment at a nearby Siocon medical clinic. Despite the unfortunate incident, our subscribers did not experience any service disruption as all mobile services are up and running in the Zamboanga area,” said Globe spokesperson Yoly Crisanto.
Crisanto said Globe is waiting for the results of the official investigation from the Zamboanga police to determine possible motives behind the attack.
Globe reported it is currently undergoing a $700m network modernization program meant to completely transform its network.
