Fiesta celebration in Hda. Imbang Mesa
Residents of Hda. Imbang Mesa gathered for a joyful fiesta that carried deeper meaning this year. Beyond tradition, the event reflected a year of steady cooperation among families in the community.
The celebration was made more memorable because it followed a full year of uninterrupted service. As a result, the fiesta became both festive and symbolic of community effort.
A year without disconnections
The sitio is part of Negros Power’s Sitio Electrification Program. Through this initiative, the area was energized to give families reliable access to electricity.
Last year, the community was given a simple challenge: maintain good standing and avoid disconnections for one year. In return, Negros Power promised a special reward during their fiesta celebration.
Over the past year, residents worked together to meet this goal. Because of that effort, the community successfully completed the challenge without a single disconnection among 120 households.
Community reward and its purpose
True to its promise, Negros Power provided a cash prize to the community during this year’s celebration. The reward helped fund fiesta activities and added more color to the gathering.
The support was not just about the prize itself. It also served as recognition of the community’s discipline and cooperation throughout the year.

He added that Negros Power continues to support communities beyond electrification projects. It also encourages responsible electricity use and stronger partnerships with consumers.
“This is more than just a cash prize. It symbolizes our appreciation to the people of Imbang Mesa for their commitment and trust in Negros Power. We hope this inspires other communities as well,” he added.
