00:00 Power outages in some parts of Quezon City last night,
00:03 followed by the collapse of some power plants
00:06 that are surrounded by luzon grid.
00:08 This is the surprise of Denise Osorio.
00:10 Yesterday, some parts of Quezon City were shocked
00:16 when the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, or NGCP,
00:21 suddenly raised the luzon grid on a red alert
00:23 due to the forced outage of some power plants
00:25 due to a lack of power supply.
00:28 According to Meralco, the power outage lasted for more than two hours.
00:32 According to NGCP,
00:34 the yellow and red alerts of the power grid
00:37 are only raised when the operating margin
00:39 for contingency or regulatory requirements is not sufficient.
00:41 The main warning is
00:43 that consumers should reduce their commercial and industrial consumption
00:48 so that the cargo of the power grid does not become heavy.
00:50 Meanwhile, some people experienced a blackout
00:54 and their business was affected.
00:57 In this business, the blackout has a big effect
01:00 because we use electricity.
01:03 We use a blower, a straightening iron,
01:09 so it's a big factor if we don't have electricity.
01:11 Sales are affected.
01:13 We need to have sales every day.
01:18 If there's no electricity, there's no client.
01:20 Electricity is a big factor for us.
01:26 At this time, there's no electricity.
01:30 When it reaches 5 or 6 p.m.,
01:33 there's a lot of people.
01:35 When the power grid blacked out,
01:39 we were all blacked out.
01:44 I waited for seven minutes for electricity to come.
01:48 When there was still no electricity, I left.
01:50 I closed the power grid.
01:52 The Yellow Alert was raised again earlier this morning
01:56 and the status of the Luzon grid was declared normal.
02:00 There were no obstacles in Visayas and Mindanao this weekend.
