Negros Power’s Undas 2026 Contingency Plan includes sending out response teams, placing standby staff, and checking transformers in areas where more people are expected during All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day.
This effort is meant to give quick help if there are any power issues and to keep electricity services safe and reliable during the two-day observance.
Negros Power Deploys Response Teams Across Four Cities

In Bacolod City, response teams will monitor major public and private cemeteries, including:

Negros Power will also place standby response teams in key spots in Bacolod, Talisay, Silay, Bago, and Murcia. These extra staff members will help give quicker assistance if technical issues come up.
Transformer Inspections and Monitoring in Cemetery Areas
Negros Power will also inspect and monitor transformers in the cemeteries it has identified.
The company will inspect distribution transformers with capacities from 10 kVA to 50 kVA, depending on the location. These steps are meant to keep electrical facilities safe and reliable as electricity use and public activity increase.
Engr. Mervin Dalian, AVP for Network Development and Operations at Negros Power, said the company has prepared its teams and chosen key standby locations to respond quickly to any power issues.
He also stressed the need to monitor important areas, especially cemeteries and memorial parks where many people are expected during Undas.
