From Times Wire Reports
The lights came back on at the crypt holding the preserved corpse of former President Ferdinand Marcos after three days of darkness caused by unpaid electricity bills. Using a secondhand generator, Mayor Jesus Nalupta restored power in the air-conditioned tomb in Marcos’ hometown of Batac, but he said he was not sure how long the generator would last. A local electric cooperative on Monday shut down power in the Marcos family compound where the mausoleum stands after the family failed to settle bills totaling $214,500.
