Several Areas in Visayas & Mindanao Continue to Experience Power Outages After Typhoon Tino
The power outages continue in Visayas and Mindanao days after Typhoon Tino battered parts of the country.
Several areas in the Visayas and Mindanao remain without electricity days after Typhoon Tino battered parts of the country, leaving behind damaged power lines and disrupted transmission systems.
According to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), five of their transmission lines are still out of service, while two have been partially restored. The affected areas include parts of Leyte, Cebu, Negros Occidental, and Antique, where many households continue to endure power interruptions.
In Leyte and Biliran, the Ormoc–San Isidro and Ormoc–Baybay 69kV lines have been partially reconnected, allowing limited electricity to reach some towns. However, residents are still urged to conserve power as full restoration has yet to be completed.
NGCP also reported that three 138kV and one 230kV transmission lines remain non-operational, causing widespread outages across several provinces.
Teams of linemen and technical crews have been deployed to repair the damaged lines and towers brought down by strong winds and heavy rains. Restoration efforts have been challenging due to fallen trees, floods, and landslides blocking access to key areas.
Despite these obstacles, NGCP assured that work continues round the clock to bring back electricity to affected communities as soon as possible.
As of this writing, many families in the Visayas and Mindanao continue to rely on generators and candles while waiting for power to return. Businesses have also been struggling to resume operations due to ongoing outages.
As Typhoon Tino’s impact continues to be felt, the resilience of the affected residents remains evident. Despite the darkness and discomfort, communities are staying hopeful that power will soon be fully restored, and normal life can slowly return.
