Today is another bad business day for the business people of Dumaguete. The city is experiencing a whole day out of electricity! Again! I say again because this is always happening here. What is ironic about the usual out of electricity is that, Dumaguete is situated in a province where the source of electricity is located. The Southern Negros Geothermal Production Field (SNGPF) is located in Palinpinon Valencia, Negros Oriental just a few kilometers away from Dumaguete. This production field is also supplying electricity to nearby provinces like Negros Occidental, Cebu, and Panay Island. But how come these provinces are not experiencing a whole day brownout? It's only here!
Businesses here are the one greatly suffering. Consider this: an internet cafe which is very popular in the city (you can see internet cafes almost every corner of the city) is losing an approximate revenue of 1,200 pesos with minimum number of 10 computer units, a retail shops without standby generator are also out of business today! I, myself, is also affected. I cannot access my online accounts. I cannot post updates to my blog. What more? Everyone is indeed affected.
I just hope that the people concern will do something to the worsening delivery of electricity in the province and in the city where the source is located.

yes! you're certainly right...people who are engaged in business will definitely have a low income for days like that. Most especially those dealing with electricity in their businesses will have a hard time gaining such amount of revenues they got when there is electricity. As in my part as a student, its really hard for me when brown out occur, i really can't study my lesson for the next day especially when there is exam...and it causes many inconvenience and many people are affected...
I am also affected when there is a brownout, especially if it would take a whole day for the brownout to occur. I cannot concentrate on my studies because w/o the electric fan it is so hot in our bhaus. It is so sad to know that the source of electricity is located near dumaguete. Yet, were experiencing brownouts. Surely businesses who rely on the electricity would be very affected. Hopefully that these brownouts would not worsen because many people would be affected. More power to you sir and God bless!!
not only the business people are suffering from these blackouts, also
the workaholic (ehem) studes like me...
there are large and overwhelming assignmentssss and projectsss
such as this to work for,, & without having this electric current at hand especially in times of examinations we will
probably, exactly rather fail the exam we are facing.
I have a friend who has complained about it (blackout which came along prior to her exam), she said she has to cram the next day because she was not fully equipped to take the exam because of the blackout...
The pipzz who are held responsible to these occurrences should take necessary actions for the benefit of the Dumagueteńos =)

As i got to the article it is true that many businesses are suffering in this kind of situation because they cannot run their businesses well because of the brown out.I know some busineses that dealing with electricity will have a hard time in gaining again their profit that was interupted by a brown out.And i hope that if thier is a brown out it will not take long because many people will be affected,like we as a student electricity is important for us because we cannot study well and if we have a project that deals with electricity it is very hard for us to accomplish it...

Brownouts, and absolutely blackout were such a hindrance in our every activities that is an electricity-aided activities. As a student in this province,this is what I've noticed that every weekend,particularly every sundays, a scheduled 5-hour brownout or more occured during this day. This had been a barrier for us students to use the equipment that requires electricity. And, it makes us more discomfort in working our homeworks and projects for we can't use electric fans or air conditioner as not to make us too tired and sweating upon doing those works.But, because of brownout,we're being interupted with the heat that season brings and it disables us to resume with what we're working because of such obstacles.And with the businesses within the City,they are greatly affected by this because some of their operations will stop especially with those electricity-operated-machines and equipment. Many sorts of their activities will be hanged on air and won't be accomplished with their expected time. Not only us students and those people in working area were affected by this.But also,people in their respective houses and homes that needs electricity to accomplish their chores and the comfort they need when electricity is present. Hopefully,sooner or later, this problem will be given an exact solution and won't get worst.
With the obstacles,hindrances and calamities that people and nature had brought us, let us not be so much affected with these. As long as we could still survive and live through all of it,let's continue life and face it all because as long as GOD is with us,evrything will be alright and will be a grateful blast! ..",

Brownout or blackout is not good to all people live in Dumaguete city who use electricity.Many people will suffer because of the brownout.The business and works of other people is affected,and many children will sad because they cannot watch tv or play a computer and many mother cannot wash their clothes or ironing the clothes.
I am also affected when there is a brownout, especially if it would take a whole day for the brownout to occur. I cannot concentrate on my studies because w/o the electric fan it is so hot in our bhaus. It is so sad to know that the source of electricity is located near dumaguete. Yet, were experiencing brownouts. Surely businesses who rely on the electricity would be very affected. Hopefully that these brownouts would not worsen because many people would be affected. More power to you sir and God bless!!
