At least 145 students in Occidental Mindoro have been hospitalized since March due to extreme heat, according to Andrew Bernardo’s GMA Regional TV Balitang Southern Tagalog report aired in “24 Oras” on Friday."Kung sa loob kasi ang practice, mainit, sobrang init baka merong mahimatay diyan katulad ng nangyayari sa San Jose yung mga estudyante marami na pong nahihimatay doon,” Provincial Training Center guard Mean Limos said.
Residents and business owners also expressed concern over the power outage experienced in the province.“Nagbabayad ka ng tama, pero wala kang makuhang magandang serbisyo ,” another resident Danica Atienza said. "Ang aming pagkain kailangan namin ng malamig na tubig, malamig na softdrinks, hindi kami makabenta ,” another business owner Lilia De Jesus said.
“Ang supply po natin sa kasalukuyan ay 12 megawatts lang at ang kakulangan ng suplay ng kuryente sa Occidental ay nasa about 18 megawatts, dahil po ito sa ang OMCPC nililimitahan din niya yung kanyang supply dahil sa isyu ng subsidy mula sa universal charge for missionary electrification,” Celso Garcia, OMECO general manager, said.
