Permanent power outage on Boracay?
Brown out that never stops? HuH?
This is what I’m hearing from a god friend of mine who also happens to own a resort here. The low-down as that Boracay power company, Akelco, is going to turn off the electricity every day from morning to evening (hottest times of the day) for 60 or 90 days.
WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!
Bullshit. I’m not referring to his info, I’m referring to these people not being able to side step a simple substation for 3 friggin’ months. OK, so how is it that 5 electricians in a warzone of Iraq can manage it with more power output than the ENTIRE of Boracay needs… but this place cant? This is the crown jewel of the Philippines, is it not? The entire country cant do in 3 months what takes a few electricians in Iraq only a single day to do?
We shal see if this comes to pass. Today is the projected start date. BTW, Akelco is the company I pay for electricity and they billed me for 4500 pesos for last billing period…when no one was even home! I’m sure the meter is correctly read, but someone is tapping into my line and they refuse to do anything about it. But now, I have my bat.
