00:00Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has left a huge blame on the country for the cut-off of the Christine storm,

00:07as the supply of electricity in a large part of the country was affected.

00:11Following this, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. emphasized that the number of affected individuals

00:17will not increase, especially in places under the state of calamity.

00:21So he ordered the Energy Regulatory Commission, or ERC, to study the implementation of temporary relief

00:28on the payment of electricity in places affected by the storm.

00:32In a statement, the President said to the ERC that the study of the implementation of the moratorium

00:37on the cut-off of electricity in places under the state of calamity from this month until December

00:43should also be carried out the staggered or gradual payment in the next few months if necessary.

00:49According to the Presidential Communications Office,

00:51this step by the government is still a part to help those affected by the calamity.

00:56The effort of the National Electrification Administration, or NEA,

01:00to restore the supply of electricity in places severely affected by the Christine storm continues.

01:05As a matter of fact, from the 2.1 million household connections affected in total,

01:09only 500,000 households are now trying to restore the supply of electricity.

01:15According to NEA, in Pangasinan, 168 out of 192 barangays already have electricity supply.

01:21In Batangas, 76.2%.

01:23In Naga, 76% have already been energized.

01:26In Iriga, only 54% have been restored and the manual shutdown is still being carried out in places that are still flooded.

01:34In Albay, 62% of the household connections have already been supplied with electricity,

01:38while 92% in Catanduanes.

01:41Normally, assessment will come in after full restoration.

01:47But we have initial data in these affected areas.

01:52It already runs more or less approximately at Php50 million and counting.

01:58Because it will be difficult to assess in places that are still flooded.

02:04But in any case, we will continue to help and increase the supply of additional manpower,

02:14additional boom trucks to fully help the affected areas restore electricity.

02:21As of now, 40 teams have been sent to Albay, NEA, to assist in the restoration efforts there,

02:27even though some places are still flooded.

02:30NEA assured that the critical service establishments such as hospitals, evacuation centers, ports, and others have power lines.

02:39Safety will be an issue here, not unless and until the water is gone,

02:43to make sure that the restoration of electricity is safe.

02:48That's the only thing that will be our priority.

02:51But rest assured that all distribution assets that will be used are already on standby.
