Meralco, NGCP begin restoring power lines damaged by Santi 10/31/2009 | 02:29 PM

The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) on Saturday began restoring power transmission lines in Metro Manila and southern Luzon damaged by Typhoon Santi.
People scramble to salvage scrap wires from electric posts that were toppled over by Santi in Navotas City on Saturday. Danny Pata

A total of 265 circuits, or 39 percent of the company’s customers, suffered power outages in Metro Manila, the Meralco said.

According to the NGCP, the brownouts in Metro Manila were primarily caused by the shutting down of two transformer units in its Sucat substation in Paranaque City, which experienced flooding due to the rains brought by the typhoon.

Several other transmission lines in Metro Manila and southern Luzon tripped due to winds caused by the Santi, which cut the power supply of half of NGCP’s Luzon grid on Saturday.

Meralco and NGCP however assured their customers that they have already mobilized their personnel for power restoration activities.

Typhoon Santi, which brought incessant rains and strong winds to the country starting late Friday, caused floods and massive power outages in different parts of Metro Manila and southern Luzon. [http://www.gmanews.tv/story/176008/santi-causes-floods-brownouts-in-metro-manila-luzon]

The power outages in Metro Manila also halted the operation of the Light Rail Transit Line 1, which runs through Caloocan City to Baclaran in Pasay City on early Saturday. [http://www.gmanews.tv/story/176006/santi-disrupts-lrt-1-operations]

Santi is the nineteenth weather disturbance to enter the Philippines this year, and the fourth cyclone to hit the country this month. - GMANews.TV

Transformer blast cuts power in parts of NCR and Rizal

Parts of Metro Manila and Rizal province suffered a power outage late Wednesday evening after an explosion shut down a power transformer of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Dolores, Taytay, Rizal province.

Manila Electric Company’s (Meralco) Dina Lomotan told radio dzBB that as a result, power to nine Meralco substations have been cut, affecting the cities of Marikina, Pasig, San Juan, and parts of Quezon City in Metro Manila, including Meralco Center, and the towns of Binangonan, Taytay, Angono, Cainta and Antipolo in Rizal province.

Lomotan did not say how long the outage will last, but assured that they are working double-time to restore power the soonest time. (As of 10:00 pm, power has reportedly been restored in some affected service areas.)

A Taytay police officer interviewed over radio dzBB as of posting said that firefighters are still battling a fire caused by the explosion, which occurred about 8:45 p.m.

Faye de Jesus of the NGCP confirmed that their transformer in Dolores encountered a "technical problem," but declined to confirm if it was caused by an explosion.

De Jesus explained that the NGCP is still assessing the cause of the power outage.

Meralco’s Lomotan expressed fears that if the NGCP fails to solve the problem immediately, Metro Manila would have to endure a series of “rotating brownouts."

“I don't how long they will be able to fix that. The worst-case scenario is (that we might have a rotation of) brownouts. Pero sisikapin namin kung saan tayo pwedeng mag-ipon, pagsisikapan namin (But we will try to supply in places where we can)," Lomotan said.

The power outage comes at a time when Marikina, Pasig and adjacent towns have been suffering power blackouts and spotty restoration in the past two weeks due to persistent floods left by storm “Ondoy." – Aie Balagtas See, GMANews.TV

Happy 67th Birthday Boss Lino!


Sabi nga ni Boss Lino sa akin kanina sa email.... "I am 67 going 47. . . .The way I feel. "

At hindi po speed ng sasakyan ang aming pinag-uusapan kundi ito po ang pakiramdam niya sa kanyang idad...still going strong. Sa katunayan po ay nakakalima pa siya....nakakalima pa siyang ibat-ibang prutas sa maghapon....kaya po talaga siya ay very healthy.

Ayun po iyong picture niya sa gilid...talagang idad 47 lang po.

Today is his birthday in the Philippines.

Teka kakanta muna ako ha....kantang only in the Philippines.

Hapi-Hapi-Hapi Birthday!
Sa iyo ang inumin....Sa iyo ang pulutan!
Sana mapaligaya mo kami!.......Yehey!!!!

Ano ba kuwento ko kay Boss Lino? Kuwento ko ito ha walang kokontra. Ito naman ay sa aking mga maiikling sandali na nakakahulabilo siya sa SO lalo na nung lumipat na lahat sa PMC.

Very soft-spoken...hindi ko siya nakitang nagalit o nagtaas ng boses. Ewan ko lang dun sa mga pasaway na mga dispatchers(peace man!)....hehe sa madaling salita mabait po si Boss Lino...isang tunay na ama sa kanyang mga pasaway na mga anak sa Control.

Yun nga po bilib ako sa kanya dahil hinawakan niya bilang Manager ang mga super na magagaling at minsan makukulit na mga dispatchers(tatak yan ng mga original SO). Dahil cool na cool lang siya sa pag-managed sa kanila...kaya ayun nagkasundo sila.

Ang alam ko po siya ay tubong Bulacan. Feel na feel sa kanyang pagsasalita.

At kung hindi ako nagkakamali ay nagsimula siya ng career niya sa Napocor, bilang isang Ehinyero, sa Bataan Thermal Plant o Ambuklao HEP. Teka nalito yata ako dun ah. Sinong may tamang sagot?

Talagang sa lawak po ng kanyang ekspiriyensiya, siya po ay napunta sa System Operations. At dun ko nga po siya unang nakita sa Delta sa Meralco, Ortigas.

Mukhang dumadaplis na ang memory ko, pakitama na lang po. Siya po yata ay nag-retire dahil kasama na siya sa Magic 87....hehe di ko na kayang ipaliwanag yan...kaya nga magic eh!

At ayun po dahil nakatira kami sa isang subdivision lang...siya po ay naging very active sa pagpapalakad ng mga aktibidades at isyus sa aming Village.

Sa ngayon ay patuloy siyang nagiging Minister of Information...dahil siya po ay very aktib sa pagpapalaganap ng mga importanteng nangyayari o balita sa loob at labas ng Napocor, Transco at NGCP sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mga informative emails.

Boss Lino alam ko kaunti pa lang ang nabanggit ko sa inyong mga accomplishments sa buhay lalo na sa serbisyo ninyo sa Napocor.

Sumasaludo po ako sa inyo dahil naging parte po kayo ng glorious days ng Napocor.

Naito po ang isang awit para sa inyo.



Muli po HAPPY 67TH BIRTHDAY!

My Kasal - April 26, 1981

I just found this photo and this was 28 years ago. How I wish life is all of a happy celebration. Life was so simple then...wala pa masyadong Malls. So the group can greatly attend weddings...specially my wedding. The ladies(Edna, Zeny & Mercy...siguro nasa step-in shopping sila) were not in this picture but somehow I still remember that Greg's wife(Dory) was able to come and enjoy the company of the Telemetering group. Larry D was the pilot of our very reliable van. To you guys...Maraming Salamat!

PS. Hindi ko kayo talaga makakalimutan kasi yung palantsahan(kabayo) sa bahay na isa sa mga regalo ng tropa ay hanggang ngayon yun pa rin ang palantsahan namin...palagay ko aabutan pa ng mga apo ko.

Boss Greg Santos...Condolence

I Luv Vienna



Schonbrunn Palace was built as a summer residence for Empress Sisi. The grounds include a park, zoo and large labyrinth that are open for tour as well as an ornate, Baroque style palace. There is so much to see at this palace that you should plan an entire day here.

I was very fortunate to be chosen for a training and the location of the training was Vienna, Austria. This was my first time to travel outside of the Philippines. Thank you Napocor.

8-Track to IPod - Part I





Technology has gone a long way. So if you were born in the 50's you can relate to my story.
We were very fortunate specially those of us who are music lovers. I have seen and experienced these things in my childhood. The 8-track tape players came when I was in high school and everybody adored that piece of gadget because you can listen to your favorite songs in your car, jeeps and buses. It was like having your turntable in your car because you can listen to your favorite LP that was copied in the 8-track tape. This technology came before the cassette tape.

Even at home this 8-track player became very popular because you can enjoy listening to music and still continue to listen in your car which was not possible in LPs.

I still remember whenever I was able to visit Manila. I have to bring my old 8-track cartridges to Raon St., Sta. Cruz, Manila and go to a record store where I will choose the LP that I want to be copied in the 8-track cartridge for ten pesos per cartridge and if a selection of songs that would be for a different price.

And what amazes me at that time was they were able to make an FM tuner that was in the size of the 8-track cartridge. FM tuner was very rare because at that time only AM radios are available in car radios. So if you got tired of listening to your 8-tracks then just plug-in the FM tuner then Ola! you have now a radio program in stereo sound.

This was just the beginning.

So what was your experience with this technology?

Letter of Engr. Claudio "Odie" Giron to Transco President

25 June 2009

FOR: MR. ARTHUR N. AGUILAR

President and CEO

FROM: THE SUPERINTENDENT

Central Luzon Area Control Center

NOD, Luzon System Operations

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF TERMINATION

Sir:

We marvel and appreciate for receiving three (3) spur-of-the-moment “Notices of Termination” one at home, the other one at the office and third one sent through E-mail.

If these three notices is possible and can be done spontaneously and instantly, then, how about the other side of the coin was left hanging – the separation benefits and other claims.

Allow me to reiterate: Not all separated employees can be absorbed by NGCP, which was clearly disclosed in your letter. These are persons who have lots of worries. And at the end of the day, if they receive no more salaries and wages from TransCo but they have a family that needs to survive and attend to school. Will they (personnel not re-hire by NGCP) still receive salary for the period July 1-15 ? This is a gray area not defined!

How can both ends of the rope meet with their daily expenses on this work transition period? Have you ever seen this scenario? Yet, you are not helping them!

How about me? Ohh, thanks GOD, to NPC & TransCo that made possible both my daughters who are now professionals and blessed with stable job as well as my wife….. then, why worry? Actually, I just attempt to put-on shoes of troubled person on mine.

Nevertheless, it’s nice to hear this assurance from you: Quote, unquote…

Please be informed that the processing of your separation benefits and other claims will be prioritized subject to the submission of clearance and other complete supporting documents.”

This vow was given 01 June 2009 from your Notice of Termination.

Almost a month was passed; we only heard the tic-tac of a second of time. Yes, we only heard 2,102,400 tics out of 2,592,000 seconds in a month nothing more nothing less.

Wow, do not say that all of us never completed the clearances and supporting documents (?) and cause impediments on processing.

At the moment, NPC is still giving us a real fight on our claims. This is our heartfelt suggestion, why not try to put-on shoes of separated employee on your feet! Or are you in the same contentious arena of NPC?

You never ask who am I to ask this thing? Hereunder are full details who really am I. Thank you.

I remain, I am

What makes a Dad-Author Unknown

What Makes a Dad(ako Tatay)

God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so,

He called it ... Dad(ako Tatay)

Happy Father's Day!

Don't Worry, Be Happy - Claudio Giron

Mateo 6: 25-34

25. Kaya’t sinasabi ko sa inyo: Huwag kayong mababagabag tungkol sa pagkain (at inumin) na kailangan ninyo upang mabuhay o tunkol sa damit na kailangan ng inyong katawan. Hindi ba’t ang buhay ay higit na mahalaga kaysa pagkain, at ang katawan kaysa pananamit.

26. Masdan ninyo ang mga ibon, hindi sila naghahasik ni nag-aani o kaya’y nagtitipon sa bangan. Gayunman, pinakakain sila ng inyong AMANG nasa langit. Hindi ba’t higit kayong mahalaga kaysa mga ibon?

27. Sino sa inyo ang makapagpahaba ng kanyang buhay nang kahit isang oras sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pagkaka-balisa?

28. At bakit kayo nababagabag tungkol sa pananamit? Isipin ninyo kung paano sumisibol ang mga bulaklak sa parang hindi sila nagpapagal ni humahabi man.

29. Ngunit ito ang sasabihin ko sa inyo: Maging si Solomon ay hindi nakapagsuot ng kasingganda ng isa sa mga bulaklak na ito bagamat nakariringal ang mga damit niya.

30. Kung ang mga damo sa kabukiran, na buhay ngayon at sa kinabukasan ay iginagatong sa kalan ay dinaramtan ng DIYOS, kayo pa kaya? Kay liit ng pananalig ninyo sa kanya.

31. Kaya huwag kayong mabalisa tungkol sa inyong kakanin, inumin, at daramtin.

32. Sapagkat ang mga bagay na ito ay kinahuhumalingan ng mga taong wala pang pananalig sa DIYOS. Alam ng inyong AMANG nasa langit na kailangan ninyo ang lahat ng ito.

33. Ngunit pagsumakitan ninyo ng higit sa lahat ang pagharian kayo ng DIYOS at mamuhay nang ayon sa KANYANG kalooban at ipagkakaloob NIYA ang lahat ng kailangan ninyo.

34. Kaya huwag ninyong ikabahala ang para sa araw ng bukas saka na ninyo harapin kapag ito ay dumating. Sapat na sa bawat araw ang kanyang suliranin.”

During my school days, how I wish to study in one of the highly regarded Universities like UST, and Mapua. But GOD knows better, and make possible to let me enroll in National University (NU) a small, decent, reliable of good standing school.

In those days, the NU different colleges - Engineering, Architecture, Dentistry and Pharmacy are full of pride posting their Licensure Examination Board Topnochers. Thanks GOD, feel fulfilled why I enrolled on the same university.

Not knowing my parents are more thankful because of such affordable and reasonable tuition fee. As I always heard from them, “Study hard.” Every time I left home to school. Every time I registered in every semester enrollment. Every time they gave my allowance. They really prayed that I will finish my chosen course.

Sense, that they have some worries and I just known it when my times come. This is the time when my two daughters studied also in Manila , to those schools where beforehand I wish to study and GOD make it possible.

HE set-up the needed life preparation; my study, graduation, passing the board examination, and the well paid NPC job to sustain my daughters schooling, as well as the needs of my parents, brother and sisters. Interestingly, NPC made it possible to extend help for my 4 brother and 5 sisters to graduate.

My eldest daughter make it in UST while the youngest in Mapua and they both graduated. My wife prayed really hard daily, for the life success of my two daughters. Also, I prayed then and dedicated my daughters both right after their birth to our LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST.

So, we pray. We get busy ourselves. We start doing we can think of to move forward in such positive ways. Accordingly, we naturally experienced trials, so, we worry and find lots of time in this dilemma - for almost three years suffering and continuous treatment (Dec 1980 - March 1983) until I was finally operated in my spinal column, L3-L4 of lumbar section. The sickness was failed to diagnose earlier. This happened after two years of my Dec 1978 wedding, Yes, in early part of my married life. But we know we should trust GOD.

Ever since my wife turn into HIS Words, meanwhile, I am more concern of doing the right things, to work-on of supporting, knowing their needs, the necessary guidance and monitoring my daughters – to remind us HE is walking with us and inviting us to hand over to HIM our worries and burden.

The Bible tells us, “Cast all your care upon HIM, for HE cares for you.” (1 Peter 5: 7) and “GOD shall supply all your needs according to HIS riches in glory by CHRIST JESUS.” (Phil. 4:19).

When your mind turns to anxious thought about the future, remember that “your heavenly FATHER knows.” (Matt 6:32) and will give you what you need. – Cindy Hess Kasper.

“I do not know about tomorrow; it may bring me poverty; But the one who feeds the sparrow is the one who stands by me.”–Stanphill.

So, “Worry is a burden GOD never intended us to go through.”

Mateo 6: 33
