Last year we have experienced the scheduling blackouts all over Mindanao because of the effects of El Nino, that reduced the water levels in our dams and other water systems in Mindanao where hydro power plants were installed. It really gave us all such pain in the behind because the 4-5 hours daily scheduled black outs affects our jobs and daily lives. A year has passed and the people seems forgot about that time and we seems so lenient now thinking everything was just a history.

But HEY! don’t be so relax about it because we are still in the RED ALERT despite the heavy rains we are experiencing today, blackout can still happens, though maybe rarely but are we going to wait until we are in dire needs of energy for electricity? Don’t you think that our necessity for hydro electric power plant may used up and time will come that we need to seek other alternatives to compliment our hydro power plants?
