The Manila Electric Co. said that it has prepared its 500 crews, more than 180 generator sets, and 300 floodlights to provide power and lighting to polling and canvassing centers that might be affected by unexpected power interruptions for the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan elections. In line with this, Meralco also reminded those who will be manning the polling and canvassing centers to avoid plugging in unnecessary appliances to avoid unnecessary overloading and octopus wiring.
