According to Irene Viason, former NOCECO ethics committee member and lead convenor of South Negros Power Advocates , at least 1,000 people attended the rally. He said that as the father of the town, he must listen and help address the “plight of my constituents even standing up alone among other political leaders in the province.”

Viason also called the Senate and the Lower House to an immediate inquiry, in aid of legislation, to address the “illegal takeover of the NEA” of the cooperative,“After the takeover, the executive committee appointed by NEA took control of the cooperative. Unfortunately, they mismanaged it by failing to stabilize the power rates by not expediting the power contract agreement with a Cebu-based power supplier, Kepco Selcon.
