MANILA, Philippines - The entire Philippine grid – not just Mindanao – has turned out to be unstable, with power plants bogging down one after another.
In a report, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) said reserves in the Luzon and the Visayas grids normalized on Tuesday only to get depleted again yesterday.
In the Nacionalista Party (NP) sorties in Surigao City and Butuan City today, Makabayan-NP senatorial candidate Rep. Liza Maza assailed official proposals for Pres. Arroyo to use emergency powers to resolve the looming power crisis in Mindanao, after the House Committee on Energy yesterday endorsed in a hearing the proposal asking Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to declare a power crisis in Mindanao.
