Pinoy Dog-Lover

We’re still pretty busy catching up with work backlog and fixing up the damages to our home by the flood, but all is well and thank goodness no one in the family (human and dog) got hurt. Anyway, I’ll be posting an Ondoy-related (Ketsana-related) entry as soon as I get some free time. For now, here’s a press release for the World Animal Day 2009 celebrations this coming Saturday:

The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), in cooperation with SM Mall of Asia and Alpo Chop House, celebrates World Animal Day with an exciting event for all animal lovers on Saturday, October 10, 2009 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall.

Start the morning with a special mass and pet blessing at 11am featuring the 92AD choir.

Browse through the booths of different organizations championing animal rights in the Philippines.

Aside from PAWS, participating groups include Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF), Compassion and Responsibility for Animals (CARA), Earth Island Institute Philippines (EII-Phils), Feathered Friends Foundation (FFF), Network for Animals (NFA), Palawan Animal Welfare Association (PAWA), People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA) and World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF-Philippines).

There will also be a display of YOCard’s “Visuals with Vision” entries with amateur graphic designers doing their own interpretation of the themes “Saving the Seas” for the Haribon Foundation and “Adoption of Stray Animals” for PAWS.

Then, starting at 2pm, you and your fur babies can strike a pose in the pet photo area, have our face painter turn you into a dalmatian or a pug, explore the newest pet portal on the net, Mypetchannel.tv and work on animal-themed projects in the arts & crafts booth.

And at 3pm, animal-loving celebrities and bands come together to raise funds for the PAWS Shelter which has been turned into an evacuation center for the animals displaced by typhoon “Ondoy.”

Jam with international star Sam Bradley together with True Faith, Rachel Alejandro, Gian Magdangal, Joey Ayala, Jan Nieto, Aliya Parcs, Harry Santos, Camerawalls, Reklamo and more as they sing for the animals.

Donations in cash or in kind (canned pet food, roofed cages, dog shampoo, old blankets and medicine) will be accepted at the PAWS Booth from 11am – 8pm.

So come and spend a meaningful weekend with your four-legged love ones only at the WORLD ANIMAL DAY Celebration at SM Mall of Asia.

This event is made possible through the generous help of Alpo Chop House, McDonald’s, Frontline Plus, Magnolia Healthtea, Magnolia Fruitdrink, Magnolia Purewater, By Nature Handmade Soaps, Human Nature, Yes Movement, The Picture Company, Krispy Kreme, Mypetchannel.tv and the Philippine Star Pet Life Section.

Marc and I might be going with Shantee and Kubrick. See you there!!!!
