In an effort to champion animal welfare, realme Philippines has taken a step forward by donating to the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), a distinguished non-governmental organization committed to the rights and well-being of animals.
In partnership with local pet supplies brand Petsup, both companies contributed P100,000 in monetary aid, alongside P50,000 worth of realme products and an additional P50,000 worth of Petsup items.
realme Philippines representatives, together with members of Petsup visited the PAWS headquarters in Quezon City last April 30 to personally deliver the donations and gain firsthand insight into the organization’s operations.
PAWS expressed gratitude and emphasized that company donations support their programs, especially the rehabilitation of their animal shelters and the rescue efforts for animals suffering cruelty and neglect.
“Usually, people say that only animals can love you unconditionally. [By] helping these animals, you’ll see in their eyes that they are not damaged goods, and they need people like you to help them support their rehabilitation,” Sharon Yap, PAWS Education Officer, said.
To create positive change, Yap said that pet owners should practice spaying and neutering for their pets and encourage others to do so. She stated, “You can start by being responsible pet owners and having a lifetime commitment to your pets. And if you cannot give monetary donations, you can donate your time by volunteering here at the organization.”
Patricia Gonzales, realme Philippines’ Communications Lead, hopes the collaborative initiative will inspire others to take action regarding the country’s concerning cases of animal cruelty.
Gonzales added, “Our collaboration with Petsup and PAWS shows our commitment to fostering a community that values empathy and kindness towards animals. We hope that our donation, especially the brand new units of realme Note 50, will help streamline the activities and efforts of PAWS.”
Using their platforms and resources, realme and Petsup have significantly impacted the lives of numerous animals and highlighted the importance of advocating for animal welfare and contributing to causes that promote compassion, empathy, and social responsibility towards animals.
