Consumer, labor, and climate groups urge Energy Secretary Sharon Garin to resign as the Visayas power crisis continues into its fifth month. The groups make the demand during a press conference in Cebu City on Thursday, framing the continued disruption of power supply as unresolved.

The call comes about six months after President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. declares a national energy emergency on March 24. Across the outlets, the central focus remains the protracted nature of the Visayas power problems and the groups’ view that the Energy Department’s leadership should be held accountable. While the articles describe a shared demand for resignation, they primarily differ in their emphasis and phrasing rather than on the core facts: the timing of the emergency declaration and the duration of the Visayas crisis.
