Where the notices go

A utility with no check date has not been looked at yet, and the table says that instead of guessing. Every graded row carries the page it was read from.

Reported by residents

The record so far

Nothing yet for Masbate. That is a statement about this record, not about the power supply.

No resident reports yet

Nobody has filed a power interruption for Masbate through this site. An empty record means no reports, and no reports is not the same as no outages.

first report opens this

No advisories captured yet

Nothing from MASELCO and TISELCO has been copied in yet. Advisories get recorded with the control number intact so an amendment can be matched to the original.

needs a published notice

How this fills up. Two ways. Residents report through the form, and published advisories from MASELCO and TISELCO get copied in with their control numbers. Albay is further along only because that is where the reporting started, and you can see the shape it takes at Albay.

Method

What this cannot tell you

What is still missing, and the number each one is waiting on. With no records yet, all of these are off.

Median outage duration

Needs 5 or more restored records. One record would be itself wearing a statistic’s name.

needs 5 restored · have none

Repeat areas

Needs the same barangay to appear more than once.

needs a repeat · have none

Share of outages with no advisory

Needs a total outage count. We only know about the ones somebody reported, so there is no denominator yet.

needs 30 days of reports

Scheduled against unscheduled

The control number carries the type, SI for scheduled and EI for emergency, so this becomes countable as soon as there are enough advisories to count.

needs 3 months

Outage map

Off until reports are dense enough to show barangay shapes. Never at house level, at any zoom.

Interruption indices, SAIFI and SAIDI

These need customers-interrupted counts per feeder, which only the cooperative holds. Filed figures requested from the ERC.

requested under FOI

How to argue with this page. Every figure carries the source it came from and the date it was read. No motive is inferred: if an announcement states no reason, the record says not stated. Public social posts count as corroboration, never as a household. Anything here can be disputed by anyone, including the cooperatives, through corrections.
