[@gerardpadua1980]

Yeah, but you're in a better position now Jay, your solar power is a life saver, most hostels are running their generators and some dont have a single unit. Stay safe.

[@8milesfromhome]

I’m very surprised more people don’t invest in Solar when they live here. Electric prices are also very expensive in the Philippines even without brown outs and black outs

[@gerardpadua1980]

True, people, well majority are still thinking short term. Already spoke with don solar, just sorting out some term details, but in an island and the philippines in general, solar is the more sustainable source.

[@melelona7678]

I'm sure corruption happened in all countries including your own countries and for you to be hateful and rude such an ignorant that kind of things happened all the time because of constant typhoon it can't be helped people need electricity every where not just one part of the Philippines government have their handful ignorant

[@melelona7678]

@ what’s so rude about telling people about corruption in the Philippines?! It’s a fact many Filipinos would rather gloss over than deal with, that’s why we’re in this rut. You’ want us to stop calling out corrupt politicians and their business friends just because corruption is everywhere? You’re pathetic. If you’re a Filipino, I’d like to know where you’ve been all these years and what you’ve been reading and watching. Very pathetic and out of touch.

Ohh.. What happened there, is similar to what happened also in Finland and Sweden, the under sea cable had been cut off as well.

[@usrIO30581l]

Did Putin (Pooptin can) submarines and Xinnie Pooh cut them off?

Yep 3 🇨🇳 ships entered and left just as quickly as they came. There were 2 breaks in the line and probably will be weeks before they repair it. I live here also.

It was the Chinese. It’s in mainstream news that Chinese survey ships were in the area at the time of the cable cut

Two Chinese Research ships were discovered by Phil Coast Guards anchored near Siargao sea 2 days ago & Phil authorities are investigating what were they doing the area

[@Elysee_16]

Yes, and I learned in the news, a russian submarine was seen along the WPS on Nov 28. But they were able to check it out., they said they only passed the WPS. Its the first time I think, I hope this is not the reason.

[@cordeliav3055]

Am sorry about your continued power cut. It occurred to me that the authorities should be able to pinpoint the time of the cut to the passing of a cargo ship in the harbour. There was a news video the other day about Sweden and Denmark investigating a Chinese ship dragging an anchor to sabotage their cables. There was damage to the anchor so they knew which ship did it. Perhaps also in your case the crew felt an urgent need to have "revenge against society", which is increasing in their own country, i.e. driving cars into crowds of people, etc. Here in Australia recently a Chinese man threw a scalding cup of coffee over an infant, inflicting severe burns. Although his face was caught on camera, to my knowledge he has not been apprehended. Just sayin' !

Give yourselves a pat on the back forasterful planning and decision making. Your investment towards solar is paying off and serving your needs.

[@dannieduplessis2432]

You may not remember us, but we bought near Pacifico. Building pending, basically finding a good builder...In Australia they have some of the worlds best Solar systems. What are the solar systems like in Pinas ? Would you bring ceramic fuel cells from over seas to put on your house ?

[@deebee.14]

It’s worth preparing for these things before it happens, like you did with the solar. I hope the electric powers on sooner than later ❤

[@jackoneil3933]

High voltage cables can deteriorate and fail on their own, and if there's and extended length of damage it could take time a long time to source and splice in a replacement section. It appears that Siargao's 24/7 power cable was installed in 2019 so I wonder if before that on-island generation facilities were in used and could be brought back on line. Looks like the Island uses about 6 megawatts of power or about what a couple of large diesel locomotive sized generators could produce. It's not too difficult to connect generators to substations if there are any that could be shipped in. Smaller generators could be connected to parts of the grid and areas powered on intermittently. We used to do that in emergency situations in villages and Oil and Gas facilities in Alaska. I'm also surprised that given the amount of solar and wind energy, and high cost of electricity more people have not installed basic solar systems.

[@worldlydestinations]

It’s the Philippines and there are many reasons good solutions aren’t used but I can’t say much about that as a Foreigner living here on the Island and in the Country.

[@jackoneil3933]

​@@worldlydestinations I am familiar with possible reasons you are limited in being able to criticize. My brother had a popular radio station in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a U.S. Territory, of which that the U.S. Department Of Justice classified as the most corrupt government that prayed upon some of the poorest citizens of the U.S.. My brother out of great love for the People of USVI along with the support of the Island's new Governor who was elected on an Anti-corruption platform. provided a public voice through a radio service called 'Free Speech' whereby The People of the islands were finally had a voice to speak out and expose all sorts of incompetent, corruption, crime and abuse on the islands, that put so much Eyre and exposed so much injustice that several of the Island's most corrupt Senators resigned, others had psycho-emotional breakdowns, some were investigated for and as I recall possibly charged with crimes. Most of the people of the islands rejoiced and expressed much gratitude to the Governor and my brother for empowering them with a voice. And a grass-roots group of Native residents and immigrants form Mainland U.S. and Europe joined forces to end profiteering from power generation, and implement cost effective power generation on the island. I worked on proposals for cost effective solutions that for reasonable federally backed programs could use augment existing power generation with waste to energy, Wind and solar to reduce the Island's power costs by 2/3, while making power grid more resilient. However, some of the Senators who were seen as most corrupt out of fear lodged a complaint with the U.S. Department Of Justice and Federal Communications Commission (FCC), claiming my brother, the new Governor of Afro-Caribbean decent, and other residents were conducting a racist overthrow of the government of USVI. and using my brother's radio station to implement it. As a matter of legal protocol, the DOJ and FCC investigated and placed the government and my brother's radio station under something like a consent decree, and after 9 months and reviewing all the radio broadcasts and political efforts on the part of My Brother, locals and the Governor found no evidence of collusion or conspiracy but that the Governor, politically active locals, my brother his radio broadcasts had provided a much needed public service to deal with the most corrupt government in America and that if local officials made similar baseless complaints they could be risking criminal prosecution. My Brother who took great honor and pride in opposing corruption and racism and as did his wife was Asian, and his closest friends and allies who were African, African American, Asian, Indian, native American and etc. Were all deeply shocked and hurt by being gaslight as racists, but it motivated them to dedicate their all to braving those assaults and more, for the benefit of their neighbors. No doubt the good people of Siargao and the Philippines deserve more of voice in the matters of their lives and government, which might benefit from the voice of those who consider themselves as guests who love the people, the communities and nation. BTW, I would be up for sharing what I gleaned from working with power proposals for USVI as Siargao seems to be similar to USVI, Perhaps there's some options in terms of power that would be a Win-Win for all on the Island.
