Biyaya Animal Care brought the heat and the heart to BGC Terra Park as animal lovers gathered with their furry companions for Luvapawlooza Fun and Fur: The Summer Fair on April 5, 2025. The event is part of Biyaya’s ongoing advocacy for a #StrayFreeRabiesFreePhilippines2035.
Attendees enjoyed a day filled with an engaging lineup of activities, including free veterinary consultations and anti-rabies vaccinations, a pet blessing, a pet fashion show, and Biyaya Animal Sanctuary’s flagship adoption event.
Among the distinguished guests were Fernando Zobel de Ayala and his family, “Pinoy Dog Whisperer” Lestre Zapanta, the Philippine Emergency Canine Response Team, and Biyaya’s very own co-founder Rina Ortiz. Merchant booths, games, and live performances by Underdog artists Franz Guico, Athena Gail, and Chezka added excitement to the program, which was hosted by actress Kat Galang and JM Manila.
Since 2022, Biyaya Animal Care Group has been redefining social entrepreneurship in animal welfare, creating sustainable ways to support pet healthcare and promote responsible pet ownership. Through its veterinary services, pet care products, and adoption programs, Biyaya ensures that every pet receives quality care and a chance at a loving home.
“Animal welfare is not just dogs or cats—it is all animals, including humans,” said Ms. Rina Ortiz in her opening remarks. “Humans have a very direct relationship with animals.”
At the heart of Biyaya’s mission is Biyaya Animal Care, a veterinary network with a fully equipped animal hospital in Mandala Park and clinics in Katarungan, Mandaluyong, and Rockwell, Makati, providing accessible, high-quality medical services for pets. Moreover, every purchase at Pawshoppe, Biyaya’s pet lifestyle space, directly supports animal welfare initiatives. Through Biyaya Animal Care and Pawshoppe by Biyaya, pet care and advocacy go hand in hand, with 100% of proceeds benefiting Biyaya Animal Sanctuary.
Located in Alfonso, Cavite, Biyaya Animal Sanctuary serves as a safe haven for rescued animals, helping them transition into loving forever homes. By choosing adoption, pet lovers not only gain a new family member but also become part of a larger movement toward a more compassionate Philippines.
