In a swift response to the devastation caused by Typhoon Tino, the Negros Electric and Power Corp. (Negros Power) has stepped forward to provide crucial assistance to affected families in Negros Occidental.
Immediate Relief for Affected Communities
The power distribution company officially turned over its donation on November 17, 2025, demonstrating its commitment to standing with the people of Negros during challenging times. The relief effort was led by key company officials, including Lawyer Warven Ilalim, Ronald Reosura from community relations, and Klea Marie Tolones.
They presented a substantial donation of 100 sacks of rice, with each sack weighing 25 kilograms, to Arnel Argusar, the head of the General Services Office (GSO) for the Province of Negros Occidental. This essential food supply is expected to provide significant support to families grappling with the typhoon's aftermath.
A Commitment to Negrenses in Crisis
Engr. Bernard Bailey Del Castillo, the Chief Technical Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Negros Power, voiced the company's deep solidarity with the victims. "Our hearts go out to all Negrenses who continue to suffer from the effects of Typhoon Tino," Del Castillo stated.
He emphasized that the rice donation represents a tangible gesture of their support. Furthermore, he reaffirmed the company's dedication to assisting communities in their recovery and rebuilding efforts. This initiative is not an isolated act but is woven into the fabric of Negros Power's broader mission.
Part of a Larger Advocacy
The aid distribution forms a key part of Negros Power's continuous program to support areas stricken by natural disasters. The company has a long-standing advocacy focused on community care, resilience, and service. This recent action reinforces their role not just as a utility provider, but as a proactive corporate citizen committed to the welfare and strength of the communities it serves, especially when they are most vulnerable.
