In the aftermath of Typhoon Tino, which battered Negros Island under Signal No. 4 last November 4, 2025, Negros Power has been receiving widespread praise and appreciation from consumers, local officials, and community groups for its relentless restoration efforts across Central Negros. It may not be easy, and the path ahead to full restoration will take a few more days, but Negros Power linemen work 24/7 in 12-hour shifts to complete the tasks.
Restoration Efforts by Negros Power Met with Kindness
Despite massive damage caused by toppled poles, fallen trees, and flooding, the company’s linemen and engineers have been working around the clock to bring power back safely to thousands of households. As of 3:00 p.m. on November 7, or after 3 days, Negros Power reported significant progress: all sub-transmission lines and substations have been fully restored, 45 of 47 feeders are energized, and 65.7% of households across the service area have already been reconnected.
Bacolod City Mayor Greg Gasataya expressed his gratitude to Negros Power’s field teams and the community for their cooperation, “From day one after Typhoon Tino hit, I’ve seen how hard our Negros Power linemen and engineers are working on the ground. They are doing everything they can to restore power despite the many challenges. I also thank our barangays for helping in clearing operations, and I continue to ask for everyone’s patience and understanding as power is gradually restored citywide.” It should be noted that Bacolod City suffered the most damage in the typhoon.
Meanwhile, Talisay City Mayor Atty. Rowena Lopez Lizares also lauded the company’s transparency and persistence, “Since the power outage began, we have been constantly monitoring the situation with Negros Power and providing them with all the assistance they need for restoration. Our cooperation is showing results as power slowly returns in several areas of the city. This is a province-wide concern, but rest assured that Negros Power is doing everything possible to bring back electricity safely and quickly. We appreciate everyone’s patience as our linemen continue to work tirelessly to restore normalcy.”
Former Governor Rafael L. Coscolluela shared a photo of linemen repairing lines in Sta. Clara 9 p.m., saying, “One job at a time, trying to meet everyone’s request for attention. Not easy. To those who still don’t have power, rest assured they’re on the job. Wish them good weather, warm meals, and safety 24/7.” Joel Pineda Jaquinta shared a photo of the linemen with the caption, “They leave their families to serve others. Our linemen are out there, braving the storm to bring back the light lost to Typhoon Tino — restoring homes, hospitals, establishments, and entire communities. Let’s keep them in our prayers — true heroes in boots and helmets. 
“.
Moreover, residents have been expressing their support, understanding, and newfound respect for the hardworking Negros Power team across social media platforms.
“Thank you for your service!”
Change for Better Bacolod group quoted in saying, “SALAMAT SA INYONG SERBISYO, WARRIORS! To all the men and women of NEPC who have been working tirelessly, overtime, and under the storm, to bring light back to Bacolod City and the rest of Negros, we thank you. We deeply appreciate the danger to life and limb that comes with what you do. That is why we will continue praying for you. Always remember, guys, what you are doing is something we truly value and will never forget. As you continue to do your job, remember–we are here for all of you. Rest assured of our prayers that you will always find strength, courage, and protection in your noble WorK. YOU ARE THE LIGHT AFTER THE STORM”.
Consumer Jacob Elias Alunan also shared, “Ang Kuryente maintyendehan mo kay makita mo ang mga tinawo sang Negros Power nga nagaubra kag gapaninguha nga matapos ang ila ubra.”
Meanwhile, Mon De la Rama expressed heartfelt thanks to the company for its responsiveness and professionalism even amid a crisis: “Shout out to Negros Power! Thank you for entertaining my late-night, early-morning, and panic calls just to bring back our kuryente! Kabalo gid ko grabe gid ang inyo pangabudlay after Typhoon Tino’s devastation para mabalik lang ang supply sang kuryente sa inyo mga consumedor! But you managed to keep your cool and service! I admit, I used to bash you before every time may power interruption (guilty 
), pero subong respeto na gid!”
Adding a thoughtful perspective, Millie Milayko shared a reflection reminding everyone to extend compassion to those working on the frontlines and to those who have lost everything: “When I received photos from the NVC Foundation disaster relief team showing an evacuation center in a badly hit town of Cebu they visited last night, I saw how they had to mix Mingo in near darkness because there was no power. My mind immediately came to comments on the Negros Power FB page — comments that mercilessly shoot down this service company whose workers tirelessly aim to restore service as best they can. Perhaps, for a second, the complainants can be a bit more understanding — and think of the discomfort of those who fled their homes, lost their precious possessions, and sleep on makeshift beds. In darkness. No power company to hurl insults at, because being able to get appliances running is the least of their concerns, since they lost everything they owned. Nothing to plug at all. The family of a young lady who recently took her own life has been telling us to ‘CHOOSE KINDNESS.’ Let’s take that to heart.”
Work Continues
Negros Power remains in close coordination with local governments, barangay officials, and volunteers to expedite clearing operations and safely energize the remaining areas. Despite the many challenges, the growing show of appreciation from consumers reflects a shared spirit of resilience and unity.
