00:13This is the first news of James Agustin.
00:22It seems that this video was captured by a firework display in Barangay Apolonyo-Samson, Quezon City last night.
00:30The flaring of electricity was followed by a firework display.
00:37The firework display went off.
00:39The barangay's CCTV camera also captured the other events.
00:43Residents were allowed to leave, but some motorists avoided them.
00:47The barangay owners immediately responded.
00:49They used a fire extinguisher to redden the fire.
00:54Due to the incident, the supply of electricity to the houses in Old Samson Road was cut off.
00:58This was reported by the barangay in Miralco.
01:00It was very difficult.
01:02You can't really sleep here during this time.
01:05It's very hot.
01:07How was it?
01:09We have to endure it until it's gone.
01:11It was very difficult.
01:13It was very hot.
01:15Of course, I still have high blood pressure.
01:19My son just took a bath.
01:21He just took a bath again.
01:23It was very hot outside.
01:25It was very windy up there.
01:28That's why it was dark.
01:30That's why we didn't have electricity there.
01:33According to the couple, Vicente and May,
01:35they were able to run and hear the next firework.
01:38There was a firework.
01:40There was another firework.
01:42It was very loud.
01:44It was very loud.
01:46There were a lot of them.
01:48We were afraid to go down.
01:49That's why we were able to run.
01:50We even had a dog with us.
01:51We were afraid that one of our transformers might be damaged.
01:54That's why we were able to go down.
01:56According to the barangay,
01:58up to 150 households were unable to supply electricity.
02:01Other residents were able to continue with their family and friends.
02:05In this very hot season,
02:07it's inevitable.
02:09Our cables are tripping.
02:11It's possible because everyone is using more appliances
02:17in this very hot weather.
02:19Of course, we can't avoid it.
02:21Those that are not included in the load,
02:23those with jumpers,
02:26it adds to the problem of cables tripping due to overloading.
02:32At 3.44 a.m., the electricity supply will be restored.
02:37This is the first news.
