BAGUIO CITY, Philippines — Some portions of Mountain Province and Kalinga experienced a power outage for three hours over the weekend due to a bat intrusion.
The Mountain Province Electric Cooperative (Mopreco) deployed linemen to find out the cause of the power interruption.
The linemen said they found a burnt bat near a power line of the Mopreco.
The power cooperative said the bat could have bitten the electric cable, causing a short-circuit and outage.
The linemen said that bats also destroyed an insulator.
Power was restored shortly before midnight on Sunday.
