TACLOBAN CITY — A snake that went up the transmission line and crossed parallel transmission cables of National Grid Corporation in the Philippines (NGCP) in Borongan City caused an eight-hour power outage in Eastern Samar on Friday.
NGCP Regional Corporate Communications Officer Milfrance Capulong said that power tripped at 1:11 a.m. and was restored at 8:56 a.m. the same day.
An advisory of NGCP sent to media said the snake intrusion happened at structure 831 along Paranas-Taft-Borongan-Quinapondan 69kV main line, thereby affecting the whole service area of Eastern Samar Electric Cooperative.
Foot patrol personnel sent to trace the cause of the power outage had to cross a river that had high water level due to river swelling from heavy rains experience in recent days.
