00:00 When did a barangay in Quezon City turn brownout after the power line overloaded and went out of service?
00:08 Here is my report.
00:10 Outside, a folding bed spread out when this family was born in Barangay Apolonyo, Samson, in Quezon City.
00:17 That's why I went outside because we can't breathe because of the heat in our house.
00:23 In the pastry shop, the children were also there to help.
00:26 There was no electricity since the power line was overloaded early this morning.
00:32 It is really caused by overloading of our facilities because of the high usage coming from the area.
00:42 By noon, the power was back on.
00:45 To prevent the transformer and secondary cable from being overloaded,
00:49 the Luzon grid was put on yellow alert again today.
00:52 The power grid in Visayas was red and yellow alert.
00:56 The Energy Regulatory Commission explained to the six generation companies
01:00 that due to the power outage, the supply was lacking last week.
01:05 The Chamber and Senate want to investigate the red and yellow alerts.
01:10 The problem is not only the supply of electricity, but also the heat.
01:13 Farmers are preparing for the upcoming harvest.
01:18 More than 8 million metric tons of rice, corn, and other crops are affected by the heat in Zamboanga Peninsula.
01:24 The farmers of coffee and rubber were also affected in Zamboanga, Cebu.
01:28 We have a production loss of about 238,499,000.
01:34 The water of the farmers' fields in San Pablo in San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte is also drying up.
01:40 The farmers of bitter melon in the barangay Binatagan of Ligao City, Albay were also affected by the heat.
01:46 The heat is really high. We have nothing to do.
01:51 The State of Calamity has also added places that declared due to the effects of El Niño,
01:56 including South Cotabato, Negros Oriental, and the town of Solsona in Ilocos Norte.
02:01 In order to address the effects of El Niño, the government has plans.
02:04 The DSWD has Project LAWA and BINHI training.
02:07 This includes teaching farmers, farmers and fishermen to make small farm reservoirs
02:13 or large water tanks, as well as communal gardens and farms.
02:16 Aside from having their own source of water, they can also plant around their fields.
02:24 They will not use the equipment for that.
02:27 It will be launched in some places in Eastern Visayas.
02:30 The Cash for Work training program in Santa Maria, Bulacan will be separate.
