What can you say about the routine brownouts?

I heard the news that the reason why there's routine brownout is because of the El Niño. It sounds reasonable though, it really happens when there's El Niño. But I am just wondering, way back 1997 when there was El Niño, most of the regions really suffering it; all plants gone and wasted. It lasted for two or three month but there's no routine brownout, especially here in Mindanao. It makes me think; what's really the real score behind this routine brownout.

In my opinion, it has somewhat painted with political colors. We all know that this coming election; we're going to use with electric powered election machines. Common sense tells you that if there's no power, obviously it isn't gonna work. If you will say, "ah! that's gross! Our government can buy generators to all regions just to make sure to sustain power when there's a power failure." How sure you are that our govern can supply it? Are  you sure there's a budget for that? Don't you know; if it will happen, in my opinion, we will go back again to manual counting. If it's manual counting, there's possibility to recur the "Dagdag-bawas" When it happens, then expect the horrible results of our national election. I hope and pray that it will not happen.

When it happens, that's the time that the role of youth in society will be played. We must be vigilant for possible cheating of some corrupt politicians.
