Blackout! Brownout! Power Outage #WalangKuryente … Reported it to the department in charge of security. Then, reported it to Meralco : After typing the service ID number, the bot said “your service area may be affected by an ongoing repair, estimated time of completion May wif __teenth, 2020 at wir __a.m.” The bot voice becomes garbled on those portions. Then, made some phone calls, found out a “transformer exploded” in a building (it was named and specified to me), which was 3.3 kilometers from here.
Because… transformers do that… whenever there’s a typhoon… they’re perched on the Meralco electric post… like a totem pole … Meralco designed it like that .. for art’s sake… then they get shaken …by the wind …
#atthemoment series, shot about an hour ago during the 6-hour power outage here in “the forest” or my neck of the woods, with an android ,from the west window of a bedroom , thru smoky glass — of electric technicians perched on a crane 40 feet high.
