blackout, again?!?
I grew up in a province where electricity is a problem. There is no day in a week that the electricity won’t turn off or would have any problems. I know, i should not be complaining about all these, because i grew up with no electricity at all. In fact, my hair got burned when i was a little girl at the age of three, because we only use kerosene lamp if we're gonna read or would use it as a light for our puppet show. As i grew older, i get to learn that we are deprived to use and enjoy the electricity.
I went off to college, and i get used of having electricity seven days a week and twenty four hours a day, even if there are typhoons and storms coming. And i wonder, “how come, this doesn’t happens to the province i grow up. I wish electricity doesn’t shut off that easily, even just the drizzle of the rain.” But as i wondered to the thought of having more blackouts than having electricity, i gained answers to them, too. Some said it is because of corruption, some said that because others don’t pay their bills right that the debt of our provincial electricity company went high. I don’t know which is true and which is not.
After college, i went back to our province to work. It’s been seven years now and the electric power shortage is still the same and still a problem to us. We’ve gone through alot of elections, had listened to alot of promises about solving this problem of blackouts, but no one was able to won this bitter case.
Alot of investors had backed-out, alot of businessmen/woman complained about this situation, but the local government just shrug-off their shoulder and walk away as if never hearing any complaint.
I read one comment that say “our governor will never experience this, nor will ever notice this brownout because he himself has a personal generator at his residence. Why can’t he just put his shoes to the people who are suffering from these blackouts, will he care for his fellowmen?” That i can’t answer.
all i know is “if there is a will, there is a way.”
