- Street food vendors are everywhere in the Philippine towns, cities, and villages and it is where many Filipinos get their meals from. I am walking a busy Escario Street in Cebu City toward Ayala Mall Cebu Business Park and up to IT Park to meet a friend. While walking back about 7PM most of the lights went out including traffic lights as there was a blackout in the area.

Rod,good to see you have a power walk.And please keep you flash light handy brother.
Thanks Edwin. I usually carry a flashlight but not on this night.
Thank you Rod, enjoyed the walk and talk...Jim
Thanks Jim.
That was one advantage to the multicab we had. We had an inverter installed on it, after Odette it was a great help. We recently had a brown out here, but only 30 minutes or so.
I remember you telling me about that. Good to have a backup close John.
I stayed at Quest hotel 3 times n waterfront one but I walked 20 k everyday so when you do these walking blogs it all looks so familiar Thanks Rod
20k is major walking so good for you Dennis.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks James. You are usually pretty safe in Bacolod.
Hey, first comment! 😊
Cool, thanks John. Hope all is going well in Asheville.
@AmazingPhilippines1 Fayetteville, other side of North Carolina. 👍🤔 Close to the coast, beaches are 45 minutes away. 🏖
Cebu city it changed a lot Rob . since I left my home town
Yes, it has changed a lot in the 8 years I have been here Manuel.
Always like your enjoyable and informative videos.. a blackout in any major American city would result in robbery and murder on a large scale and lots of burglaries.. American big cities have turned into cesspools because the politicians keep the police hands tied.. I have lived in rural America all of my life and I will live in the mountains about 20 minutes from a city in the Philippines.. I'm working on my solar back up as we speak.. I will be back in the Philippines at the end of June for good.. you need to check on a, they called them a solar generator but they are just a big battery that weighs about 40 or 50 lbs and some of them have wheels on them like a suitcase.. they will run your TV and your refrigerator and your internet and a fan and a light for about 8 hours.. when the power comes back on you can plug them in and recharge them and lots of them come with a solar panel in case of an emergency storm power outage.. see you all soon I hope.. it was 94° in south Louisiana today and the feel like temperature was 102.. the weather people said we are in for another record-breaking summer and I plan to be gone.. and you know what they say, we make plans and God laughs😮😮😊😊
Sounds like a great plan Richard. Everyone should have a power backup plan and equipment. See you soon.
We do not have any brownouts here Rod, the citizens would riot if they did that, LoL. Up north we had a generator at our home so, brown outs didn't bother us too much, and a new genie is a part of the plan when we return, the old one we sold to family but it is now passed it's used by date. Talk to Derek, 'Q Adventures', if you can, he might help you with the Rusi, as he deals in Motorbike Hire at Cebu.
You said you do not have brown outs here.. where is here? Thanks 👍.. also if these liberals get their way we going to have brownouts all across America.. I don't care how they make electricity but I am a spoiled old man and I got to have it..hehe..
@@richardhowe5583 Hi Richard, Rod knows where we are, (New Zealand) as he and i are personal friends. Cheers, Richard. Bob.
@@daddybob6096 thanks.. I've never been there but I've always loved New Zealand and I want to visit one day before I die.. my father who has passed away was in The merchant Marine and he went to New Zealand and he loved it..👍👍
@@richardhowe5583 My Dad was also in the Merchant Marine as a stoker. He passed in his early 90s. Bob. (Infantry Veteran.)
@@daddybob6096 after my father passed someone told me that the merchant marines in world war II was classified as the US military.. I brought my father's merchant Marine paperwork to the VA office and my mother got a $600 a month check from the VA until she died.. The merchant Marine in wartime was classified as US military if you were in the war zone I believe.. I can't remember exactly what the VA told me.. my father was carrying munitions and supplies on a unarmed merchant ship in hostile Waters.. just a quick tidbit in case they're still any merchant Marine wartime people still alive..
The traffic gets me every time. Owning a car is such a necessity here in the states with work being 25 miles away and shopping and doctors being so far too. I've finally come to the conclusion that I really don't want to own a vehicle in another country. If you have to cut and run because of sudden fighting or anti American sentiment what would you do with your car and property you own?
Transportation is very cheap here so leave the driving to others.
I noticed the Crown Regency being worked on. Is it still Crown or going to be something new?
Good question. I am not sure.
Hi. this is not good (brown outs). I am in the middle of buying a condo at "Marco Polo" in Cebu. They have generators but this is not good.
I have heard some CZcamsrs and say that the condo generators sometimes do not work or they are out of gas and they can't get them gassed up.. I think if a person lived right close to a politician or an important Philippine person they would always probably have power..
I am pretty sure Marco Polo condos have 100% backup power and they would ruin their reputation if they did not use it when needed Hurley.
@@AmazingPhilippines1 .. try and find somebody that was living there during Odette and see if they ran the generators for the duration of the power outage? I would be very curious to find out. That would definitely be a reason that I would rent one at a condo that would do that for sure.
Get a solar generator
Good plan Barry.
Just say Titas instead of Aunts
