Surgical Mission by Negros Power and WSFP: Six Months of Healing and Community Impact

In December 2024, Negros Power, in collaboration with the World Surgical Foundation Philippines (WSFP), conducted a landmark surgical mission at Valladolid District Hospital. This first-of-its-kind initiative provided free surgical procedures to 142 underserved patients, addressing a range of critical medical conditions. Now, six months later, the profound impact of this mission continues to unfold as patients share powerful stories of recovery, renewed strength, and hope.

Real Patient Stories: Healing, Recovery, and New Beginnings

• Joey Mission’s Journey: From Debilitating Pain to Empowered Living

For years, Joey Mission struggled with an indirect inguinal hernia that caused excruciating pain and limited his ability to work. “There were days I couldn’t even stand straight from the pain. I felt helpless, like I was just waiting to get worse,” Joey recalls. After receiving surgery through the mission, his life transformed dramatically. “I’m working again, supporting my family, and living without fear,” he says with heartfelt gratitude. Joey’s story highlights how access to timely surgical care restores not only health but also dignity and independence.

• Melanie Vargas: Overcoming Gall Bladder Polyp Pain and Regaining Freedom

Melanie Vargas endured unbearable pain caused by a gall bladder polyp, a condition that severely affected her quality of life. Surgery was previously unaffordable and out of reach. Being selected for the surgical mission was a blessing she describes as miraculous. “I can now move freely, eat normally, and most of all—I have peace of mind,” Melanie shares tearfully. Her recovery exemplifies the mission’s life-changing impact on individuals and families.

The First Surgical Mission Under Negros Power’s Community Development Program

This surgical mission was a milestone for Negros Power, marking the first medical outreach since the company was granted its Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN). The program was executed in partnership with WSFP and supported by local government units, combining the expertise of surgeons, nurses, and volunteers dedicated to serving the most vulnerable communities.

Maricel Pe, Assistant Vice President for Customer Care and Marketing at Negros Power, emphasized the mission’s deeper purpose: “This mission was never just about surgery—it was about restoring lives and bringing hope.” She also announced plans for another surgical mission later this year, with details to be announced soon.

Negros Power’s Commitment to Community Health and Nation-Building

Negros Power’s involvement in this initiative reflects a broader commitment to nation-building that goes beyond providing reliable electricity. By actively engaging in community development, especially in health and wellness, Negros Power is positioning itself as a true partner in uplifting the lives of the people it serves.

Collaborative Effort: How Partnerships Made the Mission Possible

The success of the surgical mission was made possible through strong collaboration between Negros Power, WSFP, local government units, private donors, and community organizations. The dedication of volunteer medical professionals who generously contributed their time and skills was instrumental in delivering quality surgical care and compassionate service.

Looking Forward: Continuing the Mission of Healing and Hope

As the community celebrates the success of this historic surgical mission, the inspiring stories of patients like Joey and Melanie serve as powerful reminders of the transformative power of accessible healthcare. Negros Power and WSFP’s partnership exemplifies how collaborative efforts can bring lasting change, building healthier and more resilient communities.
