After a relatively mild earthquake in Leyte triggered Wednesday's eight-hour blackout that crippled the entire Visayas and parts of Luzon and forced some 10.8 million people to agonize under sweltering 33-degree Celsius summer heat, mostly without water, sudden rains and an errant kite yesterday caused some power distribution equipment to fail, again plunging wide areas of Metro Cebu into darkness.

                    [Summary] => An independent power producer supplying power to Philippine National Oil Company located in Leyte tripped off last Sunday night causing power outages in many parts of Luzon and Visayas. 


But the National Transmission Commission swiftly denied allegations the incident has something to do with plans for a coup d'etat or to destabilize the government by disrupting power distribution amid the political crisis in the country. 


The tripping of the geothermal plants in Leyte caused massive brownouts that started at 10:34 p.m. and ended at 1:27 a.m. yesterday.

                    [Summary] => Lightning struck a transmission line of the National Transmission Corporation during heavy rains last Thursday, causing power outages in several parts of the Cebu-Negros-Panay grid. 


TRANSCO yesterday clarified earlier reports that the power shortage in the CNP grid was due to the testing of the new submarine cables between Leyte and Cebu.

                    [Title] => "Auto-trip" causes massive brownouts
                    [Summary] => An independent power producer supplying power to Philippine National Oil Company located in Leyte tripped off last Sunday night causing power outages in many parts of Luzon and Visayas. 


But the National Transmission Commission swiftly denied allegations the incident has something to do with plans for a coup d'etat or to destabilize the government by disrupting power distribution amid the political crisis in the country. 


The tripping of the geothermal plants in Leyte caused massive brownouts that started at 10:34 p.m. and ended at 1:27 a.m. yesterday.
