  • RHK Land & The Velaris Residences Present All Fur Love Pet Fair for Animal Welfare

    RHK Land & The Velaris Residences Present All Fur Love Pet Fair for Animal Welfare

    All Fur Love: A Pet Fair for Pets and Their Humans was held at The Velaris Residences Show Gallery in Bridgetowne in partnership with Biyaya Animal Care, the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Cats of Bridgetowne, TrueValue, Handyman, and popular pet brands like Pet Lovers Centre, Whole Pet Kitchen, Wooftop, Spoiled Pets Club, The Pet Project, Hyugo, Clifford and Felix, Fetch Naturals, Bow Wow, Cat Chew, and Royal Canin.

    All Fur Love KV

    Aside from the booths, pet lovers enjoyed free vet consultation by Biyaya Animal Care and a pet photo booth by Frisky Pawtraits.

    The event also featured insightful talks by prominent voices in animal welfare. Rina Ortiz of Biyaya Animal Care discussed the state of animal welfare in the country and how individuals can contribute to positive change. Sharon Bengzon-Yap of PAWS addressed the humane management of community cats. Veterinarian Dr. Gab Almera spoke about responsible pet parenting and the importance of pet healthcare. Finally, Keith Salas of South City K9 emphasized the importance of dog training and how it can foster a deeper connection between owners and their pets.

    For homebuyers with pets, The Velaris Residences’ stance on pets and animal welfare is a game-changer. They welcomed news of the estate taking its commitment to animal welfare a step further by ensuring a more compassionate and pet-friendly community.

    RHK Land head of marketing Martha Herrera-Subido shared, “I am very proud to say that The Velaris Residences is a pet-friendly development. Our pet policy will allow residents to have pets inside their units. But RHK Land’s commitment goes beyond our pet policy. In preparation for the turnover of our South Tower in May this year, RHK Land launched a TNVR (Trap, Neuter, Vaccinate, Return) program for the stray cats of Bridgetowne. We’ve already completed two TNVR runs in partnership with Biyaya Animal Care’s TNVR team, and we’ve successfully neutered and vaccinated 45 cats in the estate. We believe this program is groundbreaking and cements RHK Land’s commitment to animal welfare.”

    TNVR, or Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return, offers a humane, effective, and practical solution to managing stray cat populations. This method involves the humane catching of stray cats, neutering them and vaccinating them against rabies, and then safely returning them to their outdoor territories. By preventing uncontrolled breeding, TNVR directly reduces the number of kittens born outdoors, thereby reducing their population over time. TNVR also significantly reduces nuisance behaviors associated with unfixed strays such as fighting and yowling, leading to a more tranquil residential environment. Moreover, vaccinated and sterilized cats act as a natural, on-site defense, limiting the spread of diseases within the community and effectively deterring new, unfixed cats from entering and multiplying. This proactive approach fosters a healthier, more stable, and ultimately, a more desirable neighborhood for all residents.

    In essence, All Fur Love at The Velaris Residences wasn’t just a pet fair; it was a powerful statement of RHK Land’s dedication to creating a truly inclusive and harmonious living environment. By championing initiatives like TNVR and fostering open dialogue on animal welfare, The Velaris Residences demonstrates that luxury living extends beyond material comforts to embrace a compassionate and responsible approach to community. This commitment to coexistence, where both humans and animals thrive, solidifies The Velaris Residences as a pioneering force in redefining luxurious, pet-friendly living.

    Araneta City glows in blue for inclusion and equality

    This April 2, Araneta City once again joins the global celebration of World Autism Awareness Day to reinforce its commitment to inclusivity, understanding, and appreciation of all individuals.

    Every year on this day, communities worldwide unite to enhance understanding, inspire action, and provide greater support for individuals with autism. This year, the City of Firsts partnered with the Philippine Association for Citizens with Developmental and Learning Disabilities, Inc. (PACDLD) to come up with meaningful activities from April 2 to 4 that celebrate the talents and contributions of individuals with autism, raise awareness, and encourage community support.

    World Autism Awareness Day Araneta City

    “At Araneta City, inclusivity isn’t just a concept. It is a daily commitment to create spaces where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and celebrated,” Marjorie Go, VP for Marketing of Araneta City said.

    At Gateway Mall 2, visitors can journey through the history of autism with an engaging and informative exhibit at “Spectrum Fest: Celebrating Autism Through History and Fun”. From 10 am to 5 pm on April 2 until 4, everyone is invited to explore interactive displays, enjoy inflatables, and participate in kiddie activities designed to foster understanding and joy.

    Over at Gateway Mall 1, there will be the “Pages and Puppetry: Celebrating Autism Awareness Through Storytelling” event in collaboration with the National Council on Disability Affairs. From 10 am to 12 noon on April 2, this storytelling session promises to captivate hearts and open minds, helping children and adults alike understand autism through delightful narratives and puppetry.

    To further shed light on this important advocacy, the Quantum Skyview at Gateway Mall 2 will glow blue at various intervals on April 2 to signify Araneta City’s global solidarity and support for autism awareness. Starting at 12 noon, the lights will remind mallgoers of the color blue as the symbol of equality and inclusion for people who have autism.

    Smart Araneta Coliseum will also join the worldwide observance by lighting up in blue on the evening of April 2. This annual tradition is especially significant this year, as it coincides with the Big Dome’s 65th anniversary, reinforcing the role of this iconic venue as not just a place for entertainment and sports, but as a destination where everyone is celebrated and welcomed.

    “Our event venues have always been a beacon of inclusion, equality, and diversity,” Go emphasized. “They have proudly hosted events and initiatives that bring important advocacies to the forefront, making them not only iconic venues but also a symbol of hope and acceptance for many. We are proud to light them up in blue as we mark World Autism Awareness Day.”

    To further enrich the day’s events, Gateway Gallery will conduct a special consultative dialogue at 1 pm for parents of newly diagnosed children with autism, and will host the annual Autism Advocate Awards at 3 pm to recognize individuals and groups who have significantly contributed to raising autism awareness and promoting inclusion. These insightful gatherings will provide a comforting space to gain valuable insights and guidance from autism advocates, fostering community support and empowerment.

    “We invite everyone to join us at Araneta City in celebrating the wonderful diversity that makes our community vibrant. Let’s come together to celebrate and express our support for people on the autism spectrum,” Go concluded.
