Govt must resolve Mindoro power crisis

ELECTRICITY should not be a rare and almost unobtainable resource 22 years into the 21st century, but for the long-suffering people of Mindoro, it apparently is. Extended power outages affecting one or both of Mindoro's provinces have been plaguing the island for years, and have been increasing in frequency and duration; this weekend, it was Occidental Mindoro's turn to suffer, with an outage that lasted most of two entire days.
