Negros Power assisted 23 public schools across Bacolod City, Bago City, Murcia, Silay City, and Talisay City from June 1 to 5, reaffirming its commitment to education, community development, and public safety through active participation in Brigada Eskwela 2026.
During the activity, Negros Power visited schools within its franchise area, including Ramon Torres National High School in Bago City, Murcia Elementary School, Eustaquio Lopez Elementary School in Silay City, Singcang National High School, Handumanan National High School, Domingo Lacson National High School, and several other elementary and secondary schools.
Negros Power employees joined teachers, parents, school personnel, and community volunteers in preparing classrooms and school facilities for the opening of classes. The initiative aimed to create a clean, safe, and conducive learning environment for thousands of students returning to school this academic year.
The company also partnered with the Association of Barangay Electricians and Linemen (ABEL) to conduct free electrical inspections in every school visited. The assessments focused on checking wiring systems, electrical connections, switches, outlets, and other electrical facilities to ensure they were safe and ready for use.
Unice Castillon, Community Relations Assistant Manager of Negros Power, said the company recognizes the importance of electrical safety in schools.
“The safety of our learners and educators is one of our priorities. Through our partnership with ABEL, we conducted free electrical inspections in every school we visited to ensure that their wiring systems, electrical connections, and facilities are safe and ready for the opening of classes. By identifying potential electrical hazards early, we help create a safer learning environment for students, teachers, and school personnel,” Castillon said.
Negros Power emphasized that supporting Brigada Eskwela is part of its broader commitment to empowering communities and contributing to the development of future generations through safe and reliable public services.
By participating in Brigada Eskwela 2026, Negros Power continues to demonstrate that powering communities goes beyond delivering electricity—it also means helping build safer schools and brighter futures for the youth of Central Negros. ||
