The son of Kabankalan who brought light this part of Negros

Upon the organization of the Electrification Administration (EA) on October 1, 1962, the Agency had a total 142 personnel. As the EA grew in clientele among electric utilities, it needed more personnel, until it had 241 employees in 1965. Among the pioneers in rural electrification was Leonardo G. Coloso, who would continue his employment to the new Agency, the National Electrification Administratio (NEA) and would later be at the helm of the rural electrification program as Administrator.


“Narding” Coloso was born in Kabankalan, Negros Occidental. His career in government spanned 27 years, starting as Engineering Assistant in the Bureau of Public Works now DPWH, Administration of Bacolod City Waterworks, and later as Deputy Administrator for Administration and Finance of EA and capping his government service as Administrator of NEA in 1978-1979.
