Bantayan Island

Travelers/Tourists & Residents Take Note: BANELCO, your friendly neighborhood power company is at it again - They've prepared a BLACKOUT for you & all Bantayan Island, tomorrow SATURDAY- the busiest day of the travel week.
Real Smart BANELCO; Thanks.

BANELCO says the Blackouts will last 12 hours (4am to 4pm)  but the opening Blackout last week was 16hrs. long until 8pm, so if you'd like to call BANELCO and ask them where they learned to count, or if you have a queston or comment, call them at: 032-460-9281 and Thank them for screwing up your Travels or your Weekend.

BANELCO has also decided to do more Blackouts after tomorrow; Sept. SUNDAYS 12, 19, 26 - until October 2, 2010....again, a brain dead call by a clueless vendor, so plan your trips accordingly.

Call them at: 032-460-9281 (from outside Philippines +63-32-460-9281) and express your concerns.

We're showcasing Brand NEW Photography from Beach Placid this weekend, to show off their Terrific Beach.

Beach Placid Photography: Olympus E3 DSLR & Zuiko 7-14mm f/4 Digital ED lens

Right now in early September 2010, Beach Placid on Alice Beach has the nicest & cleanest White Beach in all of Santa Fe (in the current Low Season, Mother nature re-grooms all the Beaches; some Beaches adjacent to various Resorts can be overloaded with seaweed from time to time...but Beach Placid has a vigorus cleaning program in place - as illustrated by the photographs here)

See you at Beach Placid,

Occasionally we get emails asking to be *booked into* Paradise Beach or Virgin Island (no can do)

Feedback Details

Photo: Outside our hotel in Cebu City Philippines; a nice respite from the noise and traffic.

BANELCO UPDATE: As of 8:40am the power in Santa Fe on Bantayan Island is still ON - it was not turned off at 4am like we were told.

Stay tuned for more updates later - Hard Kock Kafe/Kiwi Kottages has a generator and we can get online from the Restaurant.

UPDATE: 3pm - the power's been on all day without issue, so we're thinking BANELCO has scrubbed their Blackout plans for today and I'm sure the Tourists thank them for not disrupting their vacation days here.

Enjoy your day,

BANELCO is the electric power company that supplys power to Bantayan Island, and they have scheduled 12 hour power Blackouts (Brownouts) for every WEDNESDAY & SATURDAY (?) YES Saturday, the busiest day of the week for Travel/Tourism.

BANELCO says the Blackouts will last 12 hours (4am to 4pm)  but the opening Blackout last week was 16hrs. long, so if you'd like to call BANELCO and ask them where they learned to count, or if you have a queston or comment, call them at: 032-460-9281.

Travelers who were planning to come here on SATURDAY: you might wish to call BANELCO and ask them which *manager* decided to initiate Blackouts on the busiest travel day of the week, and the wisdom behind that.

Cheers,
