Took 3 years but finally I met someone who could answer the question.
Brown out happens during daylight and blackout at night. I don't get it but its the Philippines ! ! !
Lots of complaints about the lack of services etc..
Having lived in Vietnam and currently in Thailand I am returning to the Philippines in December. Gorgeous country and province living is easy. Of course the citiesy are crowded dirty and high crime. 12 million registered and 4 million unregistered people in Manila, an area the size of Sydney so what do you expect.
Compare before complaining.
If you don't like it go home.

Yep. Setting up business in Baguio then Davao is my next port of call. My comments were aimed at Manila.

In the UK its a blackout any time of the day or night. Brownout is not used. I remember there was a blackout for four hours in the mid seventies in the UK
