Someone died because of the power interruption of meralco

My lolo passed away after the power went out while he was using a nebulizer, a machine that requires electricity, for his asthma and difficulty breathing.

He needed to use the nebulizer every day to help treat his condition. But today (May 15, 2026), he was unable to continue his treatment because of the Manual Load Dropping (MLD) event implemented by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.

I am not posting this to blame anyone for what happened, but rather to raise awareness that many poor Filipinos are suffering from illnesses that require electricity-powered medical equipment for their treatment.

I hope we can all be more aware that during times like this, especially with this kind of weather and climate, there are elderly people with illnesses who depend on electricity to help manage and treat their conditions.
