Power Interruptions in Bacolod City




Power interruptions here in Bacolod is a part of daily life of each community and households here in the city, due to the never ending reasons such as trees tripping line breakers,  grid overloading and so on, and so forth,   there are many said causes but one sure thing is the most reason cause of it, its the overloading of the city grid and at the same time the so-called power shedding scheme of the local power utility Ceneco; which is one of the reasons of computer damage, consequently a tripping which they suddenly turn it back on is termed as "Pitik" (means in illongo "snap") which is considered the number one killer of appliances and household electronics, one thing for sure, the precautions most bacolodnons do here in this scenarios is they wait 5-10 minutes for the line voltage to stabilize and hook back their appliances.

A scene from outside the dacha I captured using my RCP-200(EEV 220 + Night Scene mode)which is one of those ronrey nights you may encounter here in Bacolod

most times a power interruption may range from an hour or even a whole 8 hours, the most boring of this is during the night time where there is most things to do, it gets even worst when the local utility flips the switch... unintentionally on unwary pc users like me working in the middle of something, which in turn may frustrate some people like me(if its that important actually...), but its a part of developing country to have scenarios like these.

well if you're decided to settle down here in Bacolod always prepare for scenarios like this, if you have to yourself, go buy a generator set even if its just at about 1 KVA value, if you don't want to be ronrey, if things like these happens...
