Marcos blames energy crisis on overloaded power systems

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said on Monday the country was experiencing an energy crisis because 'the power systems are overloaded.'

Interviewed after the inauguration of the Malitubog-Maridagao Irrigation Project Stage II in Pikit, Cotabato, Marcos said the power outages were caused by surges in demand triggered by extremely high-temperature levels.
