00:00 A truck was caught and pulled away by the power and telco in Arkong Bato, Valenzuela last night.
00:07 Two posts fell down causing a heavy brownout in the area.
00:12 According to Mars Denteron, this is the third time since December that a truck has been caught by cablers.
00:19 And live from Valenzuela City, we have the first news, James Agustin.
00:24 James, is there power?
00:29 No.
00:30 Ivan, Susan, Maris, good morning.
00:32 Ivan, there are houses that have been supplied with power last night but there are still many houses that have not been supplied with power for 8 hours.
00:45 As you mentioned, there was an accident last night.
00:49 The truck dropped two posts of power after the cablers pulled it.
00:56 This dark area was covered by MH Del Pilar Street in Arkong Bato, Valenzuela last night.
01:05 A truck was caught and pulled away by the telecommunication cable and power cables.
01:10 The result is that two posts fell down causing a brownout in the area.
01:14 We were sleeping and suddenly, a strong sound came. It exploded.
01:20 We went outside and we saw that many people were in chaos.
01:25 It was so fast. We lost power and I chased it to the field. I really chased it.
01:33 When they stopped, it was already in the middle of the posts.
01:38 Residents are in great distress.
01:40 People have jobs. Like my son, he has a job. He's a farmer and he doesn't have a Wi-Fi.
01:47 Heidi's three children are sleeping with their relatives.
01:50 Their business is affected by the power outage.
01:53 My barbecue stalls are like that. There's no electricity.
01:57 The refrigerator is broken. My stalls are broken.
02:01 Residents have said that there are three times since December that a truck has been stopping and pulling cables.
02:07 The cablers have worked hard.
02:11 Telcos are also involved. Because the truck is parked in the middle of the road and there are many people in chaos,
02:17 it was not allowed to pass through the motorists.
02:19 I don't know how many houses were affected.
02:22 The truck driver was brought to Balenzuela City Police Station for investigation.
02:26 He refused to give an explanation.
02:28 Meanwhile, Ivan, at this time, the people of Miralco are still composing their response.
02:38 Telcos are also involved.
02:41 Motorists have not yet passed through this part of the road.
02:44 But earlier, the truck was pulled.
02:47 We cannot say how many houses were affected and there is no power supply.
02:52 And when will it be restored for those houses that still don't have power until this time.
02:58 That's all for now, Litas. From here in Valenzuela, I am James Agustin for GEMA Integrated News.
