Negros Power Leads Coastal Cleanup Drive in Talisay

Time sure flies fast! The first year had been very challenging as Negros Power took over the distribution utility in Central Negros. But now, the company is already celebrating its first anniversary! As part of its month-long Anniversary celebration and in line with its “Ikaw Ang Una” campaign that puts consumers and communities at the forefront, Negros Power led a successful coastal cleanup activity last August 2, 2025. It was held at Purok Tayabas, Barangay Zone 15, Talisay City, one of the cities served by Negros Power.

The environmental initiative gathered 75 volunteers, composed of employees from Negros Power, personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), and community members guided by the Bantay Katunggan coastal protection group of Talisay City.

Volunteers collected a total of 15 sacks of coastal waste, properly categorized for responsible disposal and recycling:

• Non-recyclable waste – 5 sacks (approx. 70 kg)
• Recyclable materials – 7 sacks (approx. 110 kg)
• Broken glass and tiles – 3 sacks (approx. 40 kg)

This coastal cleanup reflects Negros Power’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, community partnership, and environmental protection. The activity also aligns with its flagship “Ikaw Ang Una” campaign, emphasizing consumer care and inclusive growth through proactive community initiatives.

“We recognize that our responsibility as a utility provider goes beyond delivering electricity. It includes being a catalyst for positive change in the communities we serve,” said Maricel Pe, Assistant Vice President for Customer Care of Negros Power.

Ikaw ang Una: Service Beyond Power

Even before Negros Power took over, Negros Power had always proudly waved its mission of Service Beyond Power.

“Through our ‘Ikaw Ang Una’ campaign, we want our consumers to feel that they are truly first, whether in service, safety, or shared action for the environment.”

Negros Power’s first anniversary celebration continues throughout August with activities aimed at strengthening its connection with the people of Negros Occidental. It continues to honor its commitment to service excellence, environmental responsibility, and customer-first values.
