Negros Power restoration efforts after Typhoon Tino have earned widespread recognition from consumers, local officials, and community groups. The typhoon, which struck Negros Island under Signal No. 4 on November 4, 2025, caused massive damage to poles, power lines, and infrastructure. Despite the challenges, Negros Power crews have been working continuously to safely restore electricity.
Steady Progress in Power Restoration
As of 3:00 p.m. on November 7, Negros Power reported that all sub-transmission lines and substations had already been restored. Out of 47 feeders, 45 were energized, while 65.7% of households across the service area had been reconnected.
Local leaders expressed appreciation. Bacolod City Mayor Greg Gasataya said:
“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…”
Talisay City Mayor Atty. Rowena Lopez Lizares also emphasized the ongoing coordination between the city and Negros Power to restore electricity safely.
Community Support for Negros Power Restoration Efforts
Residents have also been expressing support online.
Former Governor Rafael L. Coscolluela shared a night-time field photo with the caption:
“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:
“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. 🙏”
The Change for Better Bacolod group posted:
“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”.
Personal Reflections and Renewed Understanding

“Ang Kuryente [biskan wala pa] 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 shared:
“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 compassionate perspective, Millie Milayko wrote:
“When I received photos from the NVC Foundation disaster relief team showing an evacuation center in a badly hit town of Cebu…
…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.”
Continuing the Work Ahead
Negros Power remains in close coordination with local governments, barangay officials, and volunteers to speed up clearing operations and safely energize the remaining areas. The work is ongoing, and every restored street, home, and barangay is a step toward full recovery.
Despite the many challenges, the growing wave of appreciation from consumers reflects a shared spirit of resilience and unity. The support seen across communities proves that even after the strongest storms, the people of Negros continue to rise together — determined, compassionate, and hopeful.
The light is returning — and it’s shining because we are rebuilding it together.
