Some 44 tons of old and unused telecommunication (telco) wires mounted along the city’s major roads have been removed from July to November this year to clear the hazards and nuisance in public pathways, data of the Task Force Spaghetti Wires on Friday showed.

Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez said the “spaghetti” wires were brought to the stockyards of the telco companies and these can be endorsed to the city through a deed of donation.

So far, it was only PLDT that has transmitted its deed of donation, said Benitez.

“It’s only PLDT that has transmitted their deed of donation. We will follow it up with Globe and the others. We want to make productive use of the ‘spaghetti’ wires to help sectors that may require those,” he said.

The collected wires will be donated to the farmers in Barangay Alangilan to be used as trellises in vegetable production.

Last July, Benitez issued Executive Order (EO) No. 3 for the removal, clearing, and reorganizing of all “spaghetti” wires located in the main streets, sidewalks, alleys and public places. (PNA)
