Demonstrating the Philippine Veterinary Medical Association’s (PVMA) continued support for the sector, PVMA President Dr. Lina Policarpio joined the ribbon-cutting ceremony, marking the association’s commitment to advancing animal health, food safety, and industry development.

Bringing together experts, practitioners, and stakeholders from the Philippines and the international community, the event provided a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and the promotion of science-based practices in swine production.

The Philippine Veterinary Medical Association (PVMA) joined pet owners, families, students, animal advocates, and partner organizations in celebrating World Animal Day 2026 on October 3 in Quezon City, promoting animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, rabies prevention, and the vital role of veterinary medicine in building healthier communities.

Held under the theme “See the World through their Eyes,” the celebration brought together the observances of World Animal Day, Animal Welfare Week, and World Rabies Day, highlighting the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health through the One Health approach.

A major highlight of the celebration was the “Stronger Together” Fun Run, where participants took part in a meaningful morning activity with their beloved pets, followed by a Mass and pet blessing.

The PVMA also took part in the Educational Symposium on One Health, where discussions focused on rabies prevention, animal welfare, responsible pet ownership, and the important role of veterinarians in protecting both animal and public health.

The celebration further featured a World Animal Day bazaar and the launch of the anti-rabies mascot by the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI), reinforcing the importance of continued public awareness and community action in preventing rabies.

Together with the Bureau of Animal Industry (BAI) and Miriam College, the PVMA continues to champion initiatives that strengthen the bond between people and animals while advancing the principles of One Health.

Because when we care for animals, we also help build healthier families, safer communities, and a healthier world.
