Case History: I have two houses in the Phillippine Islands. When I am hunting for the circuit breaker that turns off an outlet, I find that one-of-four breakers can be tripped to interrupt the circuit (as long as the three other breakers are open). If I throw the first breaker, the light goes out, but if I turn it on and throw circuit two, the light goes out (same with three and four). This occurs in both houses and it is really throwing me off for an explaination.

Sounds like a bad case of bad wiring was done in the houses. You need to get it down to own breaker for 1 circuit. That will mean turning off the main breaker and pulling the connections of 3 of those breakers from the circuit in question. You will also need to know what circuits the other 3 breakers control, or if they do at all. It would be very bad for you, and the houses that you own to find 4 breakers controlling 1 circuit, but no other circuits are controlled by circuit breakers. This really does need to be fixed.

I don't know why that is the case in your house. It's not the case in mine.
