Noreco 11 brownout this Saturday!

With the impending typhoon pending over the region and probably bringing atleast a lot of rain. Where does the common sense come from Oops apologies on mistake for heading, not sat it's sunday.

 

Seems to make sense to me. Replace those old decrepit poles with newer and stronger ones. I assume most of the brownouts after typhoons come when branches/trees fall on power lines. In Valencia they like to shut off the water when it rains really hard. I think it has to do with the source of the water supply. If it overflows more damage will be done by leaving it on (maybe from excess water pressure).

 

Just thought the ngcp would have had more pressing things to worry about this weekend, they have cancelled before if the weather has been bad.

 

I highly doubt it was planned to cut Pearl Harbor TV specials. Reaching a bit there. And do you really need tv shows to remember and honor those that died during the attack and the war? I bet those that died would care less if you sat your butt on the couch and watched some TV shows. My grandfather would have much preferred spending time with the family outdoors (or just sitting down and having a meal with the family).....electricity not needed.

 

Jack, I do realise it's the ngcp and not noreco for once! I did post on their page on fb to say this, well enough said we always pay our bill on time so bring it on!

 

@Charlie T. Which part of my comment did you disagree with? Do you really think they scheduled that brownout to stop the showing of some Pearl Harbor TV specials or to screw with American expats? That's nonsense....we all know they don't think further than their next paycheck/meal.

Do you think that our family members who fought in that war would want us sitting our asses on the couch and eyes glued to a TV? (I bet most fought there for something bigger than being honored on some BS History Channel TV show that only shows half truths and propaganda.) I guess they might be happy that your biggest worry today is that you are bummed about missing out of TV for (possibly) half a day. What a harsh world we live in!

 

This part seemed a bit like you were saying they did it out of a lack of respect for the war, especially the part where you say, "I call this 'no respect'". As I said, I doubt it was done out of a lack of respect for those who died/served in the war....I'm sure they still remember the Filipino lives that were lost during that war as well.

I never said anyone should forget about it or that those who lived through it should not remember how hard times were then. But I don't see how watching TV shows/movies shows respect to anyone though......but even if it did, I'm sure the deceased would understand that infrastructure was being improved and that the TV was not an option during the brownout. Maybe you could say a prayer for them and tell them thanks for there service instead (if praying is your thing). I'd say that if I had served in the war I would be pretty disappointed if people spent the day on their asses watching Ben Afflac in a 3 hour sh*t flick and poorly researched documentaries from the History channel.....or god forbid some nonsense from Fox News.

Pretty sure almost all of them were fighting for their families.....so wouldn't it make more sense to spend the day with your family? (Something that many of them never got to do before the war was over.) Or hey, just plop your @ss on the couch and do what you like.....as they like to say in the Philippines "up to you".
