Just recently the whole Visayas has been hit by the blackout which resulted in headaches and heat complains from people included in the area, not to mention the terrible heat with very little to none water supply due to down pumps generated by electricity.
An blackout caused by a problem with a transmission line in Leyte province hit several parts of the Visayas area Saturday morning and lasted for about eight hours, a radio report said.
The power outage started at about 9:45 a.m., but power had been partially restored to some areas in the Central Visayas region as of Saturday evening, according Visayas-based Bombo Radyo.
Visayas Electric Company (VECO) vice president for administration Sebastian Lacson said the blackout affected the entire Central Visayas region.
Lacson said 80 percent of the power supply for Central Visayas comes from Leyte.

So here we go, just as they say. It’s better to have no electricity than have no water, but that’s not the case here, since out place is included in Visayas Blackout and specifically our water supply pump is generated by electricity so when there is a blackout then there is no water in the faucets which really sucks.
I hate to admit it that during the blackout there is nothing much I can do really, but to wait patiently(if asleep). The blackout started at probably 9.00 AM and back at early 4.00 PM. So being a technology reliant person makes me not as patient as others as most of my work and activities are online and obviously requires electricity. Well, the good thing is that I finally got myself to rest and not to face the monitor or other devices (except for my mobile) for some hours which is I tend to ignore over these past weeks. I hope the blackout will not happen to often ( for the bloggers sake)..:-)
