Generator sets, solar panels sent to Siargao amid power outage
A Philippine Air Force C-130 plane carried 30 generator sets and 300 solar panels to Siargao Island for distribution to towns and business establishments affected by a power outage since December 1.
The plane arrived Monday at Sayak Airport in Del Carmen town, Surigao del Norte.
Rep. Francisco Jose Matugas II (1st district, Surigao del Norte) said the generators and solar sets are a welcome relief for Siargao due to the power outage caused by a suspected fault in the submarine cable supplying electricity from mainland Mindanao. (Froilan Gallardo/MindaNews)
