A power
interruption can still be experienced by the Island of Boracay during the
summer.
This is
despite the assurance by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines
(NGCP) that the construction of the Panit-an-Nabas Transmission Lines is being rushed.
The
rehabilitation and restoration project is delayed due to right of way problem.
In a press
conference, the NGCP Panay District Head, Rey Jaleco said that there are lot
owners who do not want the Emergency Restoration System (ERS) of the NGCP to be
built on their land.
This is
the reason why Jaleco admitted the project will not be finished by the month of
April.
Nevertheless,
he said they had coordinated with the province of Aklan so that they could be
assisted on the problem.
Aklan Vice
Governor, Gabrielle Quimpo had previously expressed concern regarding the
problem faced by the NGCP so she advised stakeholders of Boracay to make
preparations.
