The officers of our home owners’ association are pathetic — our subdivision had not paid Meralco for 3 months already and they didn’t do anything to catch up with the delayed payments. So yesterday, Meralco disconnected the electricity from all our street lamps. Now, darkness consumes our village and as the night goes deeper the sense of foreboding escalates. Our subdivision is very eerie at night without street lights. Many of our neighbors fear that thieves might take opportunity of these unfortunate event. Hopefully the street lights will be operational again soon.
