Keeping the Lights On: The Heart Behind Negros Power’s Field Work

In the Middle of the Fields

While most of us enjoyed the long weekend break with our families, a different scene unfolded in the heart of vast sugarcane plantations between Silay and Bacolod.
Under the heat of the sun, surrounded by the rustle of tall cane leaves, Negros Power crews were hard at work — repairing, maintaining, and strengthening the Silay–Bacolod subtransmission line.

There were no crowds, no applause — just the steady hum of work, the clang of tools, and the quiet determination of men and women who know that every bolt they tighten brings light to thousands of homes.

Beyond the Job: A Mission to Serve

For these linemen, electricians, and engineers, their job goes beyond wires and poles.
Each task is a commitment to service, a promise that when others flip a switch, the light will come on. Even on holidays, when the rest of the city slows down, their mission continues.

“We don’t mind missing a few days of rest,” one crew member shared.
“Because we know families depend on what we do — from homes to hospitals to small businesses trying to survive.”

Every Upgrade, Every Improvement

The Silay–Bacolod subtransmission line is a vital artery in Central Negros’ power network.
By upgrading and rehabilitating this system, Negros Power is building a stronger and more reliable foundation — one that reduces outages and ensures that progress doesn’t stop when the lights flicker.

These aren’t just technical upgrades. They are investments in comfort, stability, and growth.
When power stays on, businesses stay open. Students can study. Homes stay bright. Communities thrive.

The Light of Dedication

There’s something quietly heroic about the image of a Negros Power crew working in the middle of the fields — isolated, focused, and driven.
They’re unseen by most, but their work touches everyone.

Each upgrade completed, each line repaired, is a symbol of dedication and care. It’s a reminder that reliable energy isn’t just about technology — it’s about people who refuse to rest until others can live comfortably.

A Salute to Everyday Heroes

So while we enjoyed our long weekend, let’s take a moment to appreciate those who didn’t stop working.
The linemen under the sun, the engineers monitoring the grid, and the supervisors ensuring safety — they all remind us that true service doesn’t take a break.

Their hands may be calloused, but their hearts are strong — powering every home, every dream, and every hope in Central Negros.

Negros Power continues its rehabilitation and upgrading works — proof that progress is not just in plans and promises, but in the people who live it every day.
