    Just in case anyone can't contact loved ones tonight.


    There seems to be a problem with the supply of electricity.
    Or was it connected to this:-


    1.86 megawatts saved in Cebu after Earth Hour

    CEBU, Philippines - City officials led the observance of Earth Hour in Cebu City last night with its partner establishment, SM City Cebu, turning off 50 percent of its electrical usage.

    By 9 p.m., the Visayan Electric Company reported that the demand was lower by 2.76 megawatts. By 9:30 p.m., VECO said the demand lowered by 1.86 megawatts.

    Last Saturday’s total demand was 291.05 megawatts.

    Echoing the call of national government agencies, Mayor Michael Rama told the hundreds to took part in the activity to make energy observation a habit.

    “If we will not do it now, when? If not us, then who?” he said.

    The city has taken part in the annual worldwide event for the past seven years. This year’s global theme for Earth Hour was “Change Climate Change.”
