MANILA, Philippines — Some parts of Metro Manila and Rizal will experience temporary power interruptions this week due to maintenance works, the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) said.
According to Meralco’s head of corporate communications, Joe Zaldarriaga, upgrading and maintenance works have been scheduled in certain areas each day from April 2-7.
“Clarify ko lang meron kasi tayong tinatawag na upgrading and maintenance schedule na ginagawa every week but this only involves pocket areas at hindi ito malawakan usually couple of areas a day,” Zaldarriaga explained in an interview with Radyo 630.
(I just want to clarify because we have an upgrading and maintenance schedule every week, but this only involves pocket areas, and it is not widespread, usually a couple of places a day.)

“Kada araw may certain areas of certain cities or municipalities ang kailangan lang namin temporarily tanggalan ng serbisyo ng kuryente dahil hindi naman pwedeng magkabit ng bagong poste without de-energizing or tinatanggalan muna ng power ‘yung area,” he added.
(Every day, there are certain areas of cities or municipalities that we only need to temporarily disconnect from electricity service because it is not possible to install a new pole without de-energizing or removing the power to the area first.)
