Camp Crame suffers 3rd blackout in less than a week

MANILA, Philippines - The power supply at the Philippine National Police headquarters in Camp Crame was interrupted for the third time in less than a week after its main circuit breaker collapsed apparently due to extreme summer heat yesterday.

PO3 Leila Pagaduan of the PNP-National Operations Center of the Headquarters Support Service (HSS) said the entire camp had no power from 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.

Pagaduan said their monitoring indicated the same load of electrical consumption in the offices inside the camp.

Last Friday and Monday, supply of electricity inside the police camp was interrupted at noontime and was restored in the evening.
