Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte was fielding a question in the Palace press briefing room when the power dipped, causing an audio feedback before the lights went out.
A generator then automatically came on.
The power outage also resulted in the suspension of operations of the Light Rail Transit Lines 1 and 2, an official said.
A message on the official MERALCO Twitter account read: "At 1351H, a widespread power outage occurred within the franchise area of Meralco. Cause is still being checked."
