Yamsuan has reminded the Meralco that it should exercise “extraordinary diligence” as the power distributor of the Naia.

Meralco issued a public apology over the weekend after admitting that an employee of Meralco Energy Inc. accidentally caused the 37-minute power outage at Naia 3 on June 9.

According to the provisions of the New Civil Code, an establishment or enterprise is responsible for damages caused by their employees “on the occasion of their functions.” The January 1 power outage resulted in the shutdown of the country’s airspace, leaving approximately 65,000 passengers stranded and more than 300 flights grounded. The power interruption on May 1 affected over 9,000 passengers.

During one of the hearings, APEC Party-list Rep. Sergio Dagooc questioned why Meralco service personnel were not on standby at Naia to oversee the power distributor’s substations and ensure uninterrupted electric supply.
