Cluster agencies of the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) reported that power services were generally restored in Visayas and Luzon regions, particularly in Metro Manila, Cebu and Bohol and that relief and rescue operations are continuing in typhoon Frank devastated areas.
Energy Secretary Angelo Reyes said that only individual households whose electric connections were affected by fallen trees and power posts in their respective areas have remained un-energized.
In the Visayas region, Cebu, Bohol, and Negros are now 100 percent energized while Leyte is 85 percent, Samar is 32 percent, Panay is 52 percent energized.
Reyes said that Panay island, the hardest hit of typhoon “Frank” in terms of power disruptions, is only two percent energized.
He said that Iloilo which is part of Panay and serviced by Panay Power Corporation, is now 50 percent energized. (PIA/Bohol)
