ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / June 30, 2009) – Workers were rushing Tuesday to fix a fallen electrical post in Zamboanga City in Mindanao and return power in many areas.
The wooden post broke and damaged three other electrical posts near the Port of Zamboanga, said Betty Marquez, of the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative.
“We still don’t know why the pole broke, but it’s kind of old already. Workers are rushing up the repair so we can restore power in the area soon,” she told the Mindanao Examiner.
No was hurt when the pole fell, but Marquez said the electric cooperative will have to cope with the huge expenses brought about by the damages and the effects of it from their operations.
“The damages are really huge on our part. We have to replace or repair the fallen post and the three other damaged poles,” she said.
Several commercial banks nearby were also affected by the black out. (Mindanao Examiner)
