Kuryente Broadcast collects power interruption advisories from Philippine electric cooperatives and puts them in one place, in one shape, so you can answer a single question: is my barangay losing power, and when?
It is free, it needs no account, and it works on a cheap phone over mobile data. There are no ads and nothing to buy.
People who live with scheduled brownouts: residents planning around an eight-hour outage, small shop owners with a freezer, students with an online class, anyone with a relative on a medical device. Also for barangay officials and co-op staff who want their own advisories somewhere searchable.
Every date, time and barangay you see was extracted by explicit rules — regular expressions and a gazetteer lookup — not by a language model. A model that is right 95% of the time is the wrong tool here: the 5% would be a wrong date on someone's outage, stated with the same confidence as the rest. Rules fail loudly instead. When a post does not match, the advisory is marked as needing verification rather than guessed at, and a person looks at it.
How the parsing works goes through this step by step.
A parsed advisory lands in one of two states. If the rules found a clear date, a clear time range and areas that resolve to real PSGC codes, it is published. Otherwise it is held for review and a volunteer compares it against the original post before it goes live. Held advisories are still visible on the site, labelled “not yet verified by a volunteer”, because a rough advisory is better than no advisory — but they are never sent as a notification.
Corrections are recorded, and a correction that a co-op keeps needing becomes a rule for that co-op's wording. The parser gets better one cooperative at a time.
Wrong date, missing co-op, a barangay matched to the wrong place: submit the correct advisory with a link to the original post, and a person will check it. Cooperatives can claim their page and correct it themselves.
There is no donation page yet and nothing is being sold. The most useful things you can give are a submitted advisory, a correction, or a co-op we are not tracking. If you work at a cooperative and want your advisories posted here directly, say so in a GitHub issue and we will set it up.
