Possible brownout in ARMM on Pacquiao-Mayweather bout

MAY 1 (Eagle News) — A possible brownout may reel in the most part of Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) on Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. bout takes place on Sunday (May 3).

Regional ARMM Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI), Jaime Rivera said that this was due to the thin power supply in the region.

Rivera also explained that the production of the hydroelectric plant on Maria Cristina Falls remains low where the said power plant provides 40 % of the electrical supply in Mindanao.
