This advisory has been updated on October 17, removing the October 19 schedule on line works for the Binugao to Toril 69kV line. A separate advisory is posted reflecting changes to the scheduled power interruption.

The switching power interruptions are necessary to conduct pole relocation along Cabantian Road from the Buhangin Police Station 5 to Holy Child.

Meanwhile, the normalization or return of loads to their normal setup will be conducted for 45 minutes anytime between 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 19.

Specifically affected are those from Buhangin Substation to the crossing of diversion road, going along Jehovah's Witnesses Assembly Hall, then to Cabantian Road along Holy Child, Buhangin Memorial, Gaisano Grand Citygate Mall, and crossing Milan.

In connection, an 8-hour power interruption will be conducted to facilitate the necessary works from 11:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 18 to 7:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 19. Customers along Cabantian Road from Davao Christian Church to Holy Child College, including St. Mary of the Perpetual Rosary Parish, Osorio Compound, Sand Village, Villa Park Subdivision, portions of Northcrest Drive, A.P. Dela Cerna Facility, and nearby areas, will be affected by this service disruption.

Davao Light apologizes for the inconvenience caused by these scheduled power interruptions. But it will exert all efforts to restore electric service as scheduled or earlier. However, there may be instances where restoration may extend beyond the schedule due to unavoidable circumstances.
