English: The vice-chairperson of the Senate Committee on Energy, Gatchalian made the call following widespread devastation brought by tropical storm Kristine that left many households in heavily affected areas still reeling from lack of power supply. With Super Typhoon Leon now in the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), power interruptions could affect even more households across the country.
Filipino: Ang panawagan ni Gatchalian, vice-chairperson ng Senate Committee on Energy, ay kasunod ng malawakang epekto na dulot ng bagyong Kristine sa maraming mga kabahayan na nawalan ng kuryente. Ngayon at humahagupit na rin sa bansa ang Super Typhoon na Leon, maaaring magkaroon pa ng mas maraming kabahayan sa bansa na walang kuryente.
