Iloilo's Paraw Regatta: How it all started

Paraw Regatta, I actually haven’t heard of it up until this week when my feed was flooded with posts about the colorful sailboats in celebration of the festival’s 50th year in existence. I am a fan of Iloilo Mayor, Jerry Trenas, for the work he has done to put the city of Iloilo on the map of global spectators.

Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas has called on Congress to investigate the massive power outage that struck Panay and Guimaras Islands on Tuesday.

Treñas said that the widespread disruption was nothing short of “economic sabotage” with many residents and business establishments in the provinces of Guimaras on Guimaras Island and Iloilo, Antique, Aklan, and Capiz on Panay Island still without power as of Wednesday afternoon.

NGCP said at least 452 megawatts (MW) of power was lost to the Visayas grid on Tuesday due to tripping of power plants (302 MW) and maintenance shutdown (150 MW).

NGCP had yet to disclose the cause of the power plant outages except that an internal issue caused the tripping of Panay Energy Development Corp.’s Unit 1 plant on Tuesday at noon.

“The prolonged power outage exposes our children and students to the effects of heat and humidity which may lead to heat-related illness exacerbated by lack of adequate sleep or general feeling of drowsiness; and possible exhaustion from travel or commute,” the city government said in its advisory.
