MPT South says, “Love Pets, Save Lives”

MPT South inked with PAWS as one of their sustainable solution to avoid stray animals on expressway, aiming for a responsible pet ownership.

The “Love Pets, Save Lives” kicked off at Don Galo Sports Complex in Paranaque City recently. This is an effort partnership with the local government units (LGUs), MPT South, and PAWS. This aims to promote responsible pet ownership. With this undertaking, pet owners were given responsible pet ownership seminars. Free spaying and neutering (Kapon) procedures. And free vitamins for cats and dogs of the indigent pet owners in the communities of MPT South.

This one of a kind approach made by MPT South. In response to the increasing number of stray animals plying around the expressways. Moreover, this is one of the hazard that might cause injury and possible accident. In addition, this is a big responsibility for a #SafeRideJourney of the motorist.

Mr. Raul L. Ignacio, President and General Manager of MPT South.

“This is a milestone for MPT South in addressing and providing a more sustainable and humane solution to the issue of stray animals inside our expressways. As we collaborate with the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), we aim to resolve this by providing responsible pet ownership seminars and providing free spay and neuter services.”

Ms. Anna Cabrera, Executive Director of PAWS.

“We, at the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), are honored to be partners of MPT South for its “Love Pets, Save Lives” program. It is the first of its kind for an expressway developer to launch an animal welfare program. This, in itself, breaks barriers and gives hope for an organization like PAWS – that more and more companies are seeing the wisdom of a PREVENTIVE approach to the stray problem.”
