                    [Summary] => President Arroyo blew her fuse yesterday after several areas in Metro Manila, including Malacañang, suffered intermittent power interruptions, an after-effect of the five-hour blackout that paralyzed Luzon Sunday.


Palace Spokesman Rigoberto Tiglao said the President issued a stern warning to Energy Secretary Vicente Perez and National Power Corp. (Napocor) president Jesus Alcordo that a repeat of Sunday’s incident would be totally "inexcusable."


"The President has reminded these officials that our power system has enough capacity and is modernized enough to prevent such power interruptions," Tiglao said.


Mrs. Arroyo was visibly irritated over the blackouts which hit the Palace shortly after noon yesterday. 


Tiglao, in fact, was just about to give his afternoon press briefing when the electricity was cut. He spoke with reporters in the dark until power was restored five minutes later.
