Donsol lost power and phone signals after typhoon Tisoy swept through the Bicol region, but Mayor Jo Alcantara Cruz is glad that it did not take lives.
Typhoon Tisoy cut off power supply in many areas of the country, but Odiongan Mayor Trina Fabic is happy that a power cooperative is taking action to restore electricity.
Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Velasco said that the Philippines needs to tap clean energy resources in order to provide electricity to up to three million Filipinos who do not have access to power.
A vast majority of residents in the first and third districts of Albay are still without electricity nearly three weeks after typhoon "Nina" struck the region.
