In a virtual briefing on Tuesday, the DOE said yellow alerts are expected in all weeks of May, weeks 22 to 24 in June, weeks 32 to 34 in August, weeks 35 and 38 in September, weeks 39 and 42 in October, and week 47 in November.
“The delays, unfortunate ano, sana ‘yung delay hanggang before summer sana, but then it extended all after summer pa matatapos, that’s why we have this situation,” said Guevarra. Asked whether a red alert status could still be raised, Guevarra said this is possible if a repeat of Monday's outages should happen.
