PHILIPPINE LIFE! STREET FOOD AND BLACKOUTS ON THIS WALK!

Street food vendors are everywhere in the Philippine towns, cities, and villages and it is where many Filipinos get their meals from. I am walking a busy Escario Street in Cebu City toward Ayala Mall Cebu Business Park and up to IT Park to meet a friend. While walking back about 7PM most of the lights went out including traffic lights as there was a blackout in the area.

    That was one advantage to the multicab we had. We had an inverter installed on it, after Odette it was a great help. We recently had a brown out here, but only 30 minutes or so.

    Always like your enjoyable and informative videos.. a blackout in any major American city would result in robbery and murder on a large scale and lots of burglaries.. American big cities have turned into cesspools because the politicians keep the police hands tied.. I have lived in rural America all of my life and I will live in the mountains about 20 minutes from a city in the Philippines.. I'm working on my solar back up as we speak.. I will be back in the Philippines at the end of June for good.. you need to check on a, they called them a solar generator but they are just a big battery that weighs about 40 or 50 lbs and some of them have wheels on them like a suitcase.. they will run your TV and your refrigerator and your internet and a fan and a light for about 8 hours.. when the power comes back on you can plug them in and recharge them and lots of them come with a solar panel in case of an emergency storm power outage.. see you all soon I hope.. it was 94° in south Louisiana today and the feel like temperature was 102.. the weather people said we are in for another record-breaking summer and I plan to be gone.. and you know what they say, we make plans and God laughs😮😮😊😊

    We do not have any brownouts here Rod, the citizens would riot if they did that, LoL. Up north we had a generator at our home so, brown outs didn't bother us too much, and a new genie is a part of the plan when we return, the old one we sold to family but it is now passed it's used by date. Talk to Derek, 'Q Adventures', if you can, he might help you with the Rusi, as he deals in Motorbike Hire at Cebu.

    The traffic gets me every time. Owning a car is such a necessity here in the states with work being 25 miles away and shopping and doctors being so far too. I've finally come to the conclusion that I really don't want to own a vehicle in another country. If you have to cut and run because of sudden fighting or anti American sentiment what would you do with your car and property you own?

    I have heard some KZreadrs and say that the condo generators sometimes do not work or they are out of gas and they can't get them gassed up.. I think if a person lived right close to a politician or an important Philippine person they would always probably have power..
