President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has ruled out the nationalization of power distribution in Negros amid a recent electricity crisis besetting the island.
“The irony is Negros actually has a surplus of power supply. The reason it is experiencing brownout is because of its distribution system in its high-tension wire… So that’s what we will have to look into,” Marcos told reporters in an interview onboard PR001 over the weekend.
Aside from Negros, the President said the government is also monitoring power disruptions in Panay Island and other parts of the country as power demand rise due to high temperature. “In terms of Mindoro and even Marinduque, we’ve already been able to do some remedial measures,” he added.
