Negros Power Strengthens Environmental Commitment In Coastal Clean-Up Drive
Negros Power reaffirmed its commitment to environmental sustainability and community service by actively participating in a coastal clean-up drive organized by the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) in Bacolod City. The initiative took place on March 12, 2025, at Purok Punta Balhas, Barangay Pahanocoy, and gathered nearly 300 volunteers from various organizations.
A Unified Effort for a Cleaner Environment
The clean-up drive was held under the theme “Sa pag-iwas sa sunog, hindi ka nag-iisa” (In preventing fires, you are not alone), highlighting the connection between environmental cleanliness and fire prevention. By removing waste and debris from the coastal area, the participants not only helped preserve marine life but also minimized potential fire hazards caused by accumulated flammable materials.
City Fire Marshal FSupt. Jenny Mae C. Masip commended Negros Power for its continued support of BFP’s initiatives. “We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Negros Power for their proactive involvement in community programs. This coastal clean-up is an essential step in preventing potential fire hazards while ensuring a cleaner and safer environment,” she said.
Negros Power’s Commitment to Community and Sustainability
This event marks the third collaborative activity between Negros Power and the BFP, following the Red Zone Awareness Program in Barangay Banago and a tree-planting initiative in Barangay Felisa. By participating in these programs, Negros Power continues to go beyond its role as an electricity provider, actively contributing to social and environmental causes.
“At Negros Power, our mission extends beyond supplying electricity. We are equally committed to protecting and preserving our natural environment. Through this coastal clean-up, we proudly give back to the community and reinforce our dedication to sustainability,” stated Engr. Leomel H. Tambanillo, Assistant Vice President for Business and Operations.
Strengthening Corporate Social Responsibility
Negros Power’s participation in the coastal clean-up reflects its broader corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts aimed at fostering a safer and cleaner community. By engaging in activities that promote environmental stewardship, the company ensures that its impact extends beyond the electrical grid and into the lives of the people it serves.
As Negros Power continues to uphold its commitment to sustainability, its active role in programs like this coastal clean-up underscores its dedication to both environmental preservation and community welfare. Through partnerships and collaborative efforts, the company remains steadfast in its mission to create a better, cleaner future for Bacolod City and beyond.
