Brownout Alert: Meralco Announces Power Interruptions in QC, Caloocan, Taguig, and Bulacan This Week
Heads up, Metro Manila and Bulacan residents — Meralco has announced scheduled power interruptions this week due to maintenance works. Multiple areas across Quezon City, Caloocan, Taguig, and several towns in Bulacan will be affected between February 23 and 28. Better charge your phones and prep your flashlights.
In Quezon City, parts of Jordan Plains Subdivision in Barangay Sta. Monica, Novaliches will have no electricity on February 23-24 between 11:30 PM and 4:30 AM due to the replacement of electricity poles along Moses Street. Caloocan gets hit on February 27-28 between 11 PM and 4 AM in Midway Park and Amparo Subdivisions in Tala — caused by SMC's MRT-7 project along Quirino Highway.
Taguig residents in Barangay South Signal Village should prepare for a morning outage on February 28 from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for pole replacement works. Meanwhile in Bulacan, several barangays in San Rafael, San Ildefonso, and Bustos will experience outages between February 24-27 due to line reconstruction along Maharlika Highway.
San Ildefonso gets a second round on February 27, with parts of Barangay Poblacion losing power from 12:01 AM to 5 AM for pole replacements. In Bustos, areas near Barangay Catacte and Malawak Road go dark on February 25 during the same overnight hours.
Meralco advised affected residents to treat all electrical wires as live during maintenance periods for safety. While most outages are overnight — which helps — the daytime Taguig cut will be felt. Mag-charge na kayo ng powerbank at mag-stock ng tubig!
