BONTOC, Mountain
Province -- Some parts of this province and Kalinga experienced power outage
for three hours last week due to bat attacks
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 Mopreco.
The power cooperative said the bat could have bitten the electric cable, causing short-circuit and outage.
The linemen said bats also destroyed an insulator.
Power was restored shortly before midnight on Nov. 14.
A local drunk said next time power lines are attacked by bats, linemen could ask them to find the nocturnal creatures as these could go along well for “pulutan” (finger food) during their gin-drinking bouts.
Bats abound in caves like those in the tourist town of Sagada.
