Negros Power Ignites Hope and Action at Talisay Coastal Cleanup
A Morning of Community Spirit and Environmental Care
On a bright morning in Purok Tayabas, Barangay Zone 15, Talisay City, a wave of energy swept the shoreline—not from the tide, but from the passionate hearts and helping hands of a community united. As part of its 1st anniversary celebration and the “Ikaw Ang Una” campaign, Negros Power brought together 75 spirited volunteers—employees, Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) personnel, and community guardians from Bantay Katunggan—to stand shoulder-to-shoulder for the planet.
Cleaning Up for a Cleaner Future
With the glow of service lighting their path, volunteers set to work, combing the coastline for debris that, too often, scars our natural beauty. The effort was not just about picking up plastic or glass, but about reclaiming hope and pride in the land, one sack at a time. By day’s end, they had filled 15 sacks: 5 with non-recyclables (about 70kg), 7 with recyclables (roughly 110kg), and 3 with shards of broken glass and tiles (40kg). Each piece was mindfully sorted and prepared for responsible recycling or disposal—a small act, multiplied by many, with big consequences for a cleaner future.
Beyond Electricity: A Mission of Service and Care
Yet, the cleanup meant more than environmental impact. It was a living testament to Negros Power’s mission: that their responsibility as a utility provider extends well beyond the lines and poles. “We know that delivering electricity is just the start,” shared Maricel Pe, Assistant Vice President for Customer Care. “Being truly present means putting people—our consumers, our neighbors—at the very center. Through ‘Ikaw Ang Una,’ we want everyone to feel that they are first: in service, in safety, in every effort to nurture the world we share.”
Building Connections and Inspiring Hope
For the volunteers, the day offered the gift of connection. Laughter rang as stray wrappers were wrestled from mangroves. New friendships formed in the heat of honest work. Children peered curiously from the sidelines, watching loved ones become heroes, even just for a morning. The event became a ripple of hope—a reminder that everyone, regardless of age or role, can leave a mark on the sand. Those efforts build legacies, not just for Negros Power, but for the entire community.
A Continuing Journey of Community Partnership
The anniversary celebration continues through August, each activity another chance to strengthen ties in Negros Occidental. In every act—whether cleaning coasts, improving systems, or simply lending a hand—Negros Power’s message is clear: progress shines brightest when everyone is part of the journey.
Lighting Up the Future Together
In coastal sunrise and communal sweat, Negros Power’s story is not only one of electrification—but of illumination. For the people of Talisay and beyond, the future is brighter when communities come together, first in heart, then in action.
