MANILA – The National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) on Tuesday cut off all mobile phone signals in Zamboanga City to thwart any possible terror attacks amid the celebration of the <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/10/09/16/look-colorful-vintas-set-sail-in-zamboanga-festival">Hermosa Festival</a>. The temporary loss of mobile signal was scheduled from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday, according to an advisory from Globe Telecommunications. The NTC also mandated a signal shutdown on Sunday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., in time for the festival’s “Parade of Lights.” On September 2, a cellphone was used to detonate an improvised explosive device (IED) that ripped through a packed night market in Davao City, killing at least 14 people. Three members of the Maute Group were <a href="http://http://news.abs-cbn.com/news/10/07/16/maute-group-men-arrested-over-davao-city-blast">arrested</a> Tuesday for supposedly masterminding the attack.
