Just,Among,He's

IT is quite amazing to know how a list of the more notable people across architecture, arts, literature, music, film, theater, sports, history and politics have hailed from Negros.

But today, we shine the spotlight on a small sugar cane planter who pioneered the first electric distribution company that serviced his hometown of Talisay and empowered his fellow Negrenses by revolutionizing their primeval oil and candle-lit communities.Anselmo Sison Diaz never actually intended to enter the power utility business. After experiencing some failed ventures like his plantation called Lamitan and a store in Talisay, Emong simply sought to provide for his growing family.

Emong tried everything in his power to not only keep the business afloat but also to continue serving the towns, even though many clients in Talisay and Bacolod were either unable or unwilling to pay their dues. Salvation came when Emong met a friend who introduced him to the manager of Koppel, an air conditioning unit manufacturer in Manila, who lent him the money to purchase a reliable distribution unit. With a couple of promissory notes at considerable terms, the success of ASDES was sealed.
