BOAC, MARINDUQUE—A power outage has hit several areas in Marinduque but did not delay the casting of votes in precincts in Boac, Gasan, and Buenavista towns.
A power line in Bognuyan in Gasan caused the power interruption that started at 9:46 a.m.
Marinduque Electric Cooperative (Mareco) officials said power would be restored in at least an hour.
