STATE OF CALAMITY ON SIARGAO ISLAND PHILIPPINES - NO POWER SINCE DEC 1st

[@owen7412]

thats why i stay near angeles. Lived in the province 2 years, no thanks, no power, no internet, no water... it is always something....

[@TennRides]

I watched the entire replay, nice LS.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thanks for watching 👍

Haha, in my understanding, a 'brown out' is temporary, a couple of hours, a black out is major, grid-wide, for days... In 1976 super typhoon Pamela hit Guam, I was there, 12 yrs old. The whole island was waxed. No electric, no water service. We left back to the mainland US at least 6 weeks later, I think water was just starting to be restored. luckily, in monsoon season, it rained there every day, in non monsoon season, it rained every other day. LOL. we used rain run-off from the roof in the back porch to shower, collected water in buckets to flush the toilet, etc., drank water, a quart mixed with a tablespoon of clorox... cooked on a little hibatchi. It was an interesting experience for a 12 yr old, but I wouldn't want to repeat it. non stop heat and humidity is no fun. Wish you a speedy restoration!

Brian, you need to go 100% solar! With a generator backup?

[@edic2619]

Wishing you better days ahead.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you for the kind words. 🙏

[@markiehunter5535]

Thanks Brian. Here in Butuan showers at 5am make good sense. By 7am there is no water pressure. Same problem for years! BTW - isn't it pronounced 'S-H-A-R-G-A-W' ??

[@marcrichard7251]

Brian I got the Cadillac installed a few days ago before I move to the Philippines. Did you get yours in the USA 🇺🇸? …..STILL a little sore it’s been 2 days…😊

[@DougPoulton]

I lived like that for a year when I was in Vietnam in 1969-1970. Think of it like an extended camping trip I was told. Didn't like it then, sure as hell wouldn't do it again.

[@paulperry7678]

its 6.20 cents a gallon here in New Brunswick Canada and higher. I think its time to maybe consider moving back to AC.

[@greendreams9856]

Wow. Only $3 here in Michigan

[@retiredinthephilippines-o8q]

I would go with solar, gas generators are load and have dangerous gas fumes. and a pain getting and loading gas.

[@Peace-no1]

OMG without aircon I will die... And it looks like Asia is getting hotter and hotter every year.... Maybe I have to reconsider my stay..

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

[@TomiBonTomi_2.0]

Brian, you look like Robinson Crusoe with this thing hanging down from your face! :)

[@erndoggyful]

Dam Pirate. Arrrrg Matey😂😂😂

[@inteland2734]

Look at the bright side, your electric bill should be lower.

[@surfermaverick]

Actually from my research..it wasn't until 1985 when electricity started there.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Good to know 👍

[@aumarigan]

Hope they get the power back up before Christmas day.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Yes it would be a nice early Christmas gift 👍

[@georgeparker7554]

What up beard look like ☠️ pirate brian

[@garyt7232]

You are looking like Tom Hanks in Castaway.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Wilson 🤣

[@retiredinthephilippines-o8q]

Do you have G-cash? Maybe some of the expats here in the Philippines would donate that way also. I could a little, maybe 1000php. like you said we're not all rich here

[@chrisgoody2shoes218]

Donate it to a local orphanage.

[@LucasMusser]

always an adventure

[@gwapogreg5837]

If you were in Angeles you could just go to the mall because they have a generator.

[@larrysymonds8507]

THE BEARD LOOKS SING GOOD , KEEP IT FOR A WHILE

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thank you

[@woodykusaki9970]

If Filipino and the Philippines is truly a 3rd world country. It gets hit by typhoon over and over again and government is not doing anything about it. They'd rather just give handouts for affected people to boost their likeability. Only cure but no prevention.

[@gwapogreg5837]

The government doesn't do anything because they want hand outs from other countries because they pocket it.

[@ThomasAdams-ek8cc]

Brian your beard is coming in nicely and glad to see you on again.

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Appreciate that!

[@ongo6408]

Why don’t u go to Angeles rent a place for a month and sit it out?

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Cheaper to buy a generator

[@gregk5712]

When you live on an island...

[@mitchbromwell9554]

@PhillyinthePhilippines, Sometimes you need to take time for yourself. 🆗 Try to enjoy the situation. 🇵🇭

[@gwapogreg5837]

[@pb12661]

man, I could never live permanently in the jungle. Maybe a visit or two but no way fulltime.

[@radiodare]

Sorry to hear this buddy... Educational in the sense that your island has some unique benefits but obviously the infrastructure thing isn't all worked out yet. Still man, it's more beautiful than Angeles City and all the rift raft you are avoiding... I don't know, you know, I think no matter where you live in the Philippines there's always going to be something.. That's definitely a lot of days without air conditioning though. Hang in there!

[@radiodare]

Additionally you saying: That's the best water that I've ever had in my life... 😆 Pretty much summarizes everything

[@georgetinant9486]

I’m amazed at how good your taking this calamity, good on you and Lots , god bless ❤you

[@PhillyinthePhilippines]

Thanks for the kind words! We are keeping our spirits up.
