Davao Light and Power Company

Customers of Davao Light and Power Co. Inc. in Davao City Proper and those in some parts of Davao del Norte area have no electricity due to the heavy flooding, which was an effect of Typhoon Vinta, last night, December 22.

 

Communications officer Rossano C. Luga said that Davao Light has to manually shut off power in the affected areas as a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the residents.

Areas affected are Callawa, Tigatto, Jade Valley, Mandug, El Rio Bacaca, Marfori, San Rafael, Bankerohan, Gravahan Matina, and from Maa Gem Village going to Maa City Jail.

 

Areas in Lasang, Panabo, Sto. Tomas and Kapalong were also affected.

 

“Restoration of power will commence as soon as we have ensured that it is safe to energize by making sure that flood waters in the affected areas have subsided.” said Luga.

However, customers, whose homes were flooded, are also encouraged to check their outlets or hire an electrician to ensure that their electrical wirings and outlets have already dried up.

Davao Light will conduct a thorough inspection in the areas affected prior to restoration works.
