NAGA City -- Continuous rains for the last two days damaged a major sub-station supplying 20 MBA of electricity in 19 villages of the city and neighboring towns of Minalabac and Milaor, Cam. Sur, causing power outages in at least 45 percent of Naga’s commercial and residential areas since Sunday night.

In a report from Camarines Sur Electric Cooperative II (Casureco II) Engineering Department Manager Rolando A. Pante, the power outages since Sunday night affected Feeder 5, covering three city barangays and two towns; Feeder 8 (seven barangays), and Feeder 6 (nine barangays) in the city.

Spokesman for Casureco II former board of director Rojo said the heavy rains since Sunday had grounded the transformer regulating power supply in the three major feeder stations while the engineering department of Casureco II has worked to restore power in the city til  Monday night.

However, Rojo said, rotation brownouts will be experienced in the city due to power sharing with other stations in the next two days until the transformer is repaired.

The Environment Disaster Management and Emergency Response Office (EDMERO) reported that rains also triggered flash floods in upper Monte Calvario, Buhi, Camarines Sur, which claimed the life of a resident.

Landslides were reported to have hit the Sangay-Tiwi Road, trapping pilgrims going to Tiwi, Albay.

Landslides also hit Bgy. Borabod, Garchitorena, but no casualties were reported. Flash floods also occurred at a hollow portion of Andaya Highway in Ragay, Camarines Sur.
