(Prepared by Kimi Sparkle / Radyo Bandera Patrol #2 news reporter of OneNETnews)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- Around last Thursday night (April 27th, 2023 -- Dumaguete local time), a widespread power outage occurred in Central and Western Visayas, affecting thousands of homes and businesses. Outages lasting several hours were caused by power distribution problems, specifically between the red and yellow warning alerts.

One of the affected distribution utilities was the Negros Oriental Electric Cooperatives 1 & 2 (NORECO I & II), which was first posted on social media that it experienced multiple trippings and power interruptions due to the high demand for electricity during the excess searing summer heat. Other distribution utilities, such as Panay Electric Company (PECO) and Guimaras Electric Cooperative (GUIMELCO) have also reported various power outages in their service areas. Some areas experienced complete blackouts, while others had a partial power loss.

Social media users expressed their annoyance and concern about the prolonged blackout, which made the situation worse. Many other people in the Visayas region forcing to dissatisfaction with lack of communication from its authorities, and the slow critical response in all of electrical power companies.

Local media reports and newspaper outlets that the power outages was caused by the national grid's inability to handle a higher demand for electricity in every cooperative franchises. The Department of Energy (DOE) claims that the constrained power supply was also caused by power plants in the area producing shortages than projected. Despite the government's efforts to conserve and save electricity, certain parts of it remain grappling with power outages. Photos and videos that have gone viral online show businesses and residential homes with no power, and residents resorting to use candles and flashlights.

Many netizens have criticized the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and other government agencies, saying they were not prepared for the blackout despite the DOE's warning.

Both regions have urged the Philippine government to act fast to address the problem and preventing it from happening all over again. In response, the NGCP released a statement highlighting that they have been working to address the aforesaid power outage and ensuring that the electrical companies can fully restore power to the affected areas. In addition, companies also assured the public that they are doing everything they can to prevent future blackouts, regardless of comparable weather conditions in the past seasons.

Alvin Elchico, who is a veteran journalist and weekend news anchor of TV Patrol; and Rose Marie Chris Dalaguit, who's also a former radio reporter of DYAB-TV's Teleradyo: Cebu that has criticized the government and power distributors for not doing more to prevent the said power outage. The extremist situation was a "brazen landslide flop" and urged Philippine President named Ferdinand "Bongbong" Romualdez Marcos Jr. to revoke all electrical franchises if the blackouts persists in the Visayas region continues.

As of this exclusive writing, there have been no official announcements from the government regarding both journalists' call to action. The DOE has yet to release an official report detailing the cause of the power outage and its impact on their affected areas.

In conclusion, the power outages and blackouts occurred in Central and Western Visayas, as part both the Red and Yellow alert levels caused significant inconvenience and discomfort to many residents, establishments and businesses in the region.

The incident highlights the importance of having a robust and reliable electricity network capable of meeting the demands of daily modern life, especially during periods of searing summer weather conditions for this season. It also underscores the need for greater transparency and accountability from the Philippine government and electricity distributors in addressing such crises.

Power went out too fuck this shit

[tangian]

So the funny thing last night:

Scheduled Shutdown namin dahil meron maintenance sa Turbine, and yep, going smooth lahat. Papatay na talaga ang planta, tapos BIGLA NAGBLACKOUT! Anak ng…. Bali imbis na smooth down na e nagloko yung feedback power sa labas (bali kumukuha na kami ng power sa NGCP since hindi na nakakapagproduce ng kuryente)

Tapos ayun na nga, nung nagkaroon ng power, paranf nag-startup lang din kami uli. Binuksan lahat ng operating machines na need para sa pagpatay ng tama ng planta (from Cooling water pumps, Air compressor, Air dryer, Bottom Ash Removal System, Start-up Diesel Burner, Chillers, Makeup-Condenser-&Boiler Feed pump) grabe ang lala. Imbis na agad makakapg-pahinga e nawalan ng pahinga buong duty 🫡🥲💀💀💀💀

Yeah masaya sa Powerplant. Masaya…. 😊😊😊😊💀💀💀💀at pagod

Pero ang ganda ng view na total blackout sa planta.

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas has called on Congress to investigate the massive power outage that struck Panay and Guimaras Islands on Tuesday.

Treñas said that the widespread disruption was nothing short of “economic sabotage” with many residents and business establishments in the provinces of Guimaras on Guimaras Island and Iloilo, Antique, Aklan, and Capiz on Panay Island still without power as of Wednesday afternoon.

NGCP said at least 452 megawatts (MW) of power was lost to the Visayas grid on Tuesday due to tripping of power plants (302 MW) and maintenance shutdown (150 MW).

NGCP had yet to disclose the cause of the power plant outages except that an internal issue caused the tripping of Panay Energy Development Corp.’s Unit 1 plant on Tuesday at noon.

“The prolonged power outage exposes our children and students to the effects of heat and humidity which may lead to heat-related illness exacerbated by lack of adequate sleep or general feeling of drowsiness; and possible exhaustion from travel or commute,” the city government said in its advisory.

INEC Tackles Frequent Power Disruptions for Reliability

  Addressing Widespread Power Outages

The Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative, Inc. (INEC) has announced its plan to work closely with local government units in a coordinated effort to mitigate power interruptions that have been plaguing the province. These disruptions have become a significant concern for residents and businesses, prompting INEC to take action.   Towns Affected by Recent Outages On a Wednesday morning, at approximately 7 a.m., a temporary power cut inconvenienced the residents of several towns in Ilocos Norte. The affected areas included the entire town of Banna, except Barangay Barbarangay, as well as Nueva Era, Marcos (except Barangays Imelda, Mabuti, Lydia, Pacifico, and Valdez), and some villages in Pinili and Badoc. Fortunately, the power was restored within an hour, but the community has been frustrated by the frequent disruptions.  

Root Cause of Recent Interruption

INEC attributed the latest power interruption to a leaning bamboo tree that came into contact with the three-phase primary line at Sitio Saranay in Barangay Caribquib, Banna. This incident underscores the pressing need for proactive measures to maintain the power infrastructure and reduce such disruptions.   A History of Power Woes This recent episode is not an isolated incident; in fact, power interruptions have been occurring frequently throughout the province. On October 30, during the counting of votes in several election precincts, some areas experienced emergency power interruptions due to bird electrocution. This pattern of interruptions has had a significant impact on the daily lives of residents and local businesses.  

INEC's Response and Road Clearing Plan

Cipriano Martinez, the acting general manager of INEC, has acknowledged the root cause of these disruptions—the absence of road-clearing operations. To address this issue, INEC is planning a comprehensive, one-time, and large-scale road-clearing operation across all areas of the province. The operation is targeted to be completed within a month and will be a joint effort with local government units. INEC aims to secure additional heavy equipment and manpower resources to ensure its success.   Collaboration and NGCP's Role Martinez has also appealed to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to expedite upgrading works in Ilocos Norte, emphasizing that these enhancements are crucial to overcoming recurring power interruptions that have been affecting both the first and second districts of the province. In addition, Martinez has urged NGCP to limit power interruptions during corrective maintenance works to a maximum of six hours. He also requested NGCP to provide at least one month's notice before implementing maintenance works. This advance notice would enable INEC to inform its member-consumers and allow them to make necessary adjustments. In summary, people see INEC's proactive approach and collaboration with local authorities as essential steps to alleviate the frequent power interruptions that have affected the daily lives and businesses of Ilocos Norte's residents. The hope is that these efforts will lead to a more reliable and stable power supply in the region.   Sources: THX News & Philippine News Agency. Read the full article

TYPHOON EGAY

Ham radio communications reports house roofs ripped off and several families being evacuated. There are eight portions of land slides on the main road going to the city. So far, no one is reported hurt and hope it stays that way 'til this is over.

Electricity has been out all over the local sector since last night due to a broken NGCP line somewhere in La Trinidad and workers are unable to do repairs due to super strong winds and rains. Cellular signal is scarce if not zero.

I don't know if this post will get through... this typhoon is a strong one.

NEW THIS MORNING: The 3rd new episode of 'The Amazing Digital Circus' and filing COCs of COMELEC shifts on the double, hitting early morning SPSI from NGCP in Negros Oriental [#FIRSTonOneNETnews]

(Written by Rhayniel Saldasal Calimpong / Freelance News Writer, Online Media Reporter and News Presenter of OneNETnews)

DUMAGUETE, NEGROS ORIENTAL -- Negros Oriental Electric Cooperative 2 (NORECO II) announced last Monday (September 30th, 2024) that the power service interruption (PSI) in selected municipalities of Negros Oriental will schedule in on Saturday early morning from 4am to 8am, as originally scheduled from 6am to 12nn (Dumaguete local time).

Four (4) local substations covering Pulantubig, Bagacay, Dauin and Siaton, as affected from 'Barangay Señora Ascion' (formerly Calo) in San Jose, to the entire area of Sibulan, Dumaguete, Valencia, Bacong, Dauin, Zamboanguita and Siaton.

Citing from 3rd district of Negros Area at National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) named 'Lope L. Cañete', the NGCP will de-energize its Amlan–Siaton 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to facilitate the tapping activities of newly completed 10 megavolt-amperes (MVA) Sibulan substation of this said regional electric company along Amlan-Siaton 69kV line.

Because of changing timeslots in PSI, the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) accommodate their request on Wednesday (October 2nd, 2024), in relation to the filing of Certificate of Candidacy (COCs) for the upcoming national and local elections. While internet TV station 'OneNETtv Channel' (DYDZ-DTV Ch. 8) in Dumaguete City reschedules the 9am hour, originally from 6am, with the paid streaming simulcast of the American streaming provider 'Netflix' for the upcoming halloween-themed web-series episode of 'The Amazing Digital Circus' on October 5th from an independent Australian animated production company 'Glitch Productions'.

Power was restored this morning within half-hour early at 7:35am as both NGCP and NORECO II jointly apologized for any inconvenience caused by the scheduled early morning PSI, acknowledging that it may have disrupted the routines of those preparing for a weekend workday, or those hoping to enjoy a restful morning at home in Dumaguete City and Negros Oriental by watching the 3rd new episode of TADC on both YouTube and Netflix app with mobile internet data on your smartphones. Back-up generators and expensive power banks is a plus.

They emphasized that the adjusted schedule was necessary to complete essential maintenance work while minimizing disruption to daily activities and upcoming events in this said region for the Dumagueteños and Negrosanons.

China could switch off the Philippines' national grid, congress has heard in Manila.

The head of the National Transmission Corporation confirmed the possibility during a senate session.

China has part-owned the Philippines' national grid since 2009 - leading one senator to question whether China's "hegemonic ambitions" posed a security threat to the Philippines.

The countries have a territory dispute in the South China Sea.

"We have given our grid - although 40% it appears - to a foreign corporation that has interests that collide with our country in the West Philippine Sea," said Senator Richard Gordon, using the Philippine name for the eastern parts of the South China Sea.

"And that [country] obviously has a hegemonic ambition."

The senate heard that - although the power could be switched off remotely - the Philippines could restore it within 24 to 48 hours.
