The Pulangi Hydro Electric Plant unit 3 in Maramag, Bukidnon is also out due to low inflow and high thrust bearing temperature.

She sometimes was skipping from her classes when the opportunity to earn a big profit presents itself.
Christine’s mother Ingila, portrays her daughter as a future teacher or an office employee of SUDECOR in the future.
But this was not to be the case when armed men, suspected to be NPAs under George Madlos AKA Oris suddenly attacked the logging truck that inflicted a fatal wound to Christine’s neck when she was left behind the truck’s cabin when everybody else tried to escape the onslaught. She was immediately brought to the Madrid Hospital for treatment but expired several hours later while being transferred to Tandag.
This act perpetrated by the NPAs in CARCANMADCARLAN can only be described as inhuman and a clear violation of human rights. It could seem that the NPA has no respect and consideration for women and children as they carried out their terroristic act. The Salahay Family is seeking justice for the murder of their daughter.
Two other civilians survived the attack; Robert D Penig sustained gun shot wound on his head while Gaudencio A Quinonez sustained gunshot wound on his stomach. (CMO-58IB, 4ID, PA)
