'We will ask the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines and other relevant agencies to explain,' says Iloilo City Representative Julienne Baronda.
The power outages that have struck parts of the Visayas since Thursday, April 27, should be the subject of a congressional inquiry, Iloilo City Representative Julienne Baronda said on Saturday, April 29.
The lawmaker issued the statement following the power outages that hit the islands of Panay, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental since Thursday. Distribution utilities issued their respective advisories on manual load dropping or rotating brownouts after the NGCP’s announcement, including MORE Power , the Iloilo Electric Cooperatives I, II, and III , Aklan Electric Cooperative, Antique Electric Cooperative, Guimaras Electric Cooperative, and the Central Negros Electric Cooperative and Northern Negros Electric Cooperative .
“An assessment of NGCP’s facilities shows that our protection systems functioned as intended,” it added. The power outage on Friday again affected the services areas of MORE Power , the Iloilo Electric Cooperatives I, II, and III , Aklan Electric Cooperative, Antique Electric Cooperative, Guimaras Electric Cooperative and parts of Negros Occidental.
“NGCP is investigating the root cause of the system disturbance and will release information as soon as available,” it added.
