    Premature, it was a request by the city council for it to be postponed. I think it will be approved. If a church can get one cancelled for a mass gathering I would think the city council would be able to convince them to cancel as well. I also think with the big wig politicians, given the loss of face with recent events, will be strongly pressuring for this request to be honored to prevent any further spread of the virus. The last thing they want to do is to go back to ECQ in Negros due to their own family's screw up. That's just speculation though.

    And now it is official. The brown out is cancelled. I just read it on NORECO's FB page, due to the Dumaguete City Council and Mayor requesting such. It will be rescheduled though, of course.

    Wife and I always just go to the Family beach house and swim (dive) for the day. This sitting around waiting to be fed electricity like a subordinate, we gave up long ago.

    I'm curious to see if they heed the call and cancel this thing. 3 days to make a decision. I say cancel the brownout or close all the resorts on Sunday, the PIATF has that power.

    Unless you are Inglesia Ni Cristo. They successfully had one delayed...to put on a mass gathering. :rolleyes:

    Edit: the brown out was just cancelled to prevent the spread of the virus.

    Can anybody suggest a good place to go on Sunday to wait this out.
    We were quite lucky a couple of power cuts back we tried to get to Twin lakes but our niece was with us and deemed too young to get in, later we found out there had been covid positive people there so everybody else who had been that day was track traced.
    Exactly how they do that is a bit of a mystery to me as the sign in books at most of the places we go are just an unintelligible mess with things like Bacong or Sibulan as the address and are the phone numbers correct ? :stirring:
