Blackout the whole country!

It feels terrible to have a blackout in the whole country for hours. I hope our phones do not die on us. Businesses will be lost and crime will be high in some areas.

That happened once last year. Luckily I was not aware that it was islandwide until power was restored.

Yes, I can imagine how inconvenient it is as it happened to us before. Hope the power will come back soon.

Are you in the Philippines? It's helpful to know where people are from, most people put it on their profile. That must be very inconvenient to have no power.

@aureliah A few might have generators but I guess our electricity system is fairly efficient.

@JudyEv I prefer a system that is efficient rather than having heavy generators.

i don't think you are a "kababayan" or a fellow Filipino, because here in the Philippines, there is no such thing as blackout in the whole country.
