THE Department of Energy (DOE) is targeting a full restoration of power in affected areas in Pampanga later today, Tuesday, a day after a 6.1-magnitude earthquake struck nearby Zambales, which also affected Metro Manila.

“Telco 2 right now is at 82 percent on restoring its damaged area and the [remaining] 18 percent can be done within the day,” Energy Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella said in a post-disaster press briefing at the DOE Building in Taguig City, citing ground reports from Assistant Secretary Redentor Delola.
