"unoriginalListicle"

With the new “Superman” movie tugging on heartstrings and sparking a huge surge in adoptions (thanks, Krypto!), more people are inspired to find their furry sidekick. Animal adoption may just be one of the most rewarding decisions one could ever make, as it offers a lifetime of joy and companionship while also creating a huge impact by giving a second chance to a beautiful soul in need.

If you’ve been thinking about growing your family or opening your heart and home to a four-legged canine or feline, we’ve rounded up some of the adoption hubs and animal shelters in the metro where you can find your future pet — and maybe even your very own hero in disguise.

Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)

According to their website, PAWS is a non-profit organization (NGO) dedicated to the protection and promotion of humane treatment of all animals. The organization has been actively pushing for better laws to ensure animals are protected and well-treated through various campaigns that educate Filipinos on responsible pet ownership and programs designed to end pet homelessness, such as low-cost spay and neuter surgeries at their animal rehabilitation center (PARC) and the “Fetch and Fix” program, which helps homeless people get their pets neutered. Additionally, they accept volunteers and donations in cash and in-kind to help fund their activities.

Most of their rescued dogs and cats have lived a difficult life before being rescued, so PAWS has to make sure that they’ll be adopted by loving humans who will give them a forever, caring home. The adoption process will include an application and interview before you’re able to meet the animals at the shelter. All the animals are neutered/spayed and vaccinated. There is also an adoption fee of P500 for cats and P1,000 for dogs.

To apply for adoption, simply fill up this form. You can also follow them on Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), and Instagram for updates on their latest programs.

Location: PAWS Animal Rehabilitation Center (PARC), Aurora Boulevard cor. Katipunan Avenue, Loyola Heights, Quezon City, 1108

CARA Welfare Philippines

CARA was formed in 2000 by a group of animal lovers whose purpose is to help the plight of animals in the country. They aren’t an animal shelter and don’t receive government funding, and are mainly a non-profit advocacy sustained by donations and volunteers.

However, they do house some dogs and cats in their facility in Mandaluyong City who are currently looking for forever homes. CARA gives you the option to adopt or sponsor one of their pets.

To adopt, simply check out their pets for adoption on their website and Facebook page or visit the CARA Animal Welfare Facility to meet them. The organization requires that you prepare photos and videos of your house and a filled-out adoption form, which is available on their website or on site.

Once they have gone through your application, there will be a screening process. And once approved, you’ll only need to pay the adoption fee of P1,000 for cats and P1,500 for dogs, before you can take them home.

For more information on their adoption process and policies, click here. You can also follow them on Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), and Instagram.

Location: CARA Animal Welfare Facility, 175 Lopez Rizal St. cor. Samat St., Mandaluyong City

Pawssion Project Foundation

Founded by Malou Perez in 2018, this NGO is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abused, abandoned, and neglected animals. The project began in Bacolod, which has since expanded to a second shelter in Bulacan in 2019. The organization has been reported to have rescued more than 2,000 animals and rehomed over 1,000.

The organization is sustained through donations in cash and in-kind, and maintained by volunteers as well as sponsors for the animals they’re currently taking care of. But the best way to help is to give one of their adorable rescues a home.

Their adoption process is simple and composed of three steps: application, interview, and visitation. There is an adoption fee of P1,000 for both dogs and cats, and you can view their available rescues for rehoming and the application form on their website.

If you’re not in the Philippines, they also have a dedicated international adoption process here. For further inquiries, you can email them at [email protected] or stay tuned on their Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), and Instagram for updates on their programs and events.

Locations:

Bulacan Shelter: Paradise Drive, Purok 7, Tungkong Mangga, City of San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan, 3023
Bacolod Shelter: Pawssion Project Permanent Sanctuary, Hacienda Feliza, Brgy. Granada, Bacolod City

Animal Kingdom Foundation

AFK is another non-profit organization dedicated to animal welfare and is mostly known for the rescue andadoption of local Aspin and Puspin breeds.

The organization was founded in 2002 by Charles Leslie Wartenberg, who, after discovering the cruel dog meat trade in the provinces, decided to intercept and save the helpless dogs from slaughter. Their rehabilitation center is located in Capas, Tarlac, but they often organize and participate in events in Manila, such as Pet Summits and the Mars Global Adoption Weekend, to bolster adoptions in the capital.

To bring home one of their rescues, you’ll need to visit the adoption platform WeR4HappyTrails to view the animals in their center. Just fill up the form and wait for it to be processed and evaluated.

If you have any inquiries, you can contact them via email at [email protected] or call +63 09399142403. You can also follow them on Facebook, X (Formerly Twitter), and Instagram.

Location: No. 8 Purante St., Barangay Cubcub, Capas, Tarlac

Hound Haven

Founded in 2015, Hound Haven PH is the country’s firstrehabilitation center for retired Military Working Dogs (MWDs) and Contract Working Dogs (CWDs). This organization aims to find forever homes for these hardworking canines and help them transition into their new lives.

Their adoption process is thoughtful and structured due to the specialized nature of the dogs. You’ll need to fill up an application form, attend a virtual interview, which will be followed by an in-person screening. If approved, you can begin the one-month fostering period. Afterwards, your fostering experience will be evaluated before you can finalize adoption. The adoption fee is currently at P7,500.

Mother’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar — it’s a moment to pause and celebrate the women who shaped our lives with unwavering love, strength, and care. Whether it’s your mom, a mother figure, or a new mom navigating her first year, finding a gift that captures your appreciation could be a challenging task. But don’t worry, that’s where this guide comes in.

Here are some gifting tips to make Mother’s Day extra special this year, plus some of our meaningful recommendations that will help you say “thank you” in the most heartfelt way.

Make it Thoughtful

There’s a saying that “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to giving presents, and nothing is more thoughtful than a gorgeously arranged flower bouquet. Flower Chimp’s “Always There” (P1,799) bouquet lets you upload a photo, which will be printed out and displayed with the flowers upon delivery. Meanwhile, Designer Blooms is offering free delivery for flower orders made between May 8 to 10, and Bloomingails PH has a “Precious MoMents” collection featuring an array of beautiful bouquets for the occasion.

If you want something a little different, why not try preserved flowers to show mom your everlasting love and give her a keepsake to cherish for years to come? Bloomiere has a selection perfect for Mother’s Day, such as the Bag of Blooms (P2,800) and the Queen of My Heart, which features a handcrafted Heart Rose inside a glass box that can be personalized with your mom’s name.

A simple greeting card can also go a long way. Handwritten letters are sweet and sincere, making them the perfect heartfelt gift for mom. But why not level up those stationery cards by giving them a more personalized touch? Photobook Philippines has a ton of Mother’s Day templates (P119) to choose from, which can be customized with your own photos. They also have a special gift set (P2,560) that includes a personalized desktop plaque, blanket, and greeting card. And yes, the blanket can be printed with your photos!

Choose Useful Items

Practical might not be the sweetest word out there, but you have to admit that useful gifts last, and doesn’t it make you happy to see your gift being used every day?

Give your mom a lovely coaster set (P198) for her morning coffee or afternoon tea, or perhaps a nice penholder (P259) for her work desk to always remind her how amazing she is and that you appreciate all her hard work.

For the moms on the go, why not give their favorite tote or handbag an upgrade? SM Malls has a special 50% off promo for the Kimbel bags. If you have some cash to burn, why not give her a premium leather handbag from FINO Leatherware or The Tannery Manila?

Another suggestion is trendy sneakers. Puma's Speedcat (from P7,100) is the new Adidas Sambas, and is the perfect pair for the stylish moms on the go. They're available in different colors, but the new black and pink combo is our current favorite!

Go for Self-Care

Moms are the most hardworking people out there, and this Mother’s Day, she deserves a day of pampering.

Get her a Wellness Gift Card from The Spa, where she can enjoy a variety of treatments from full-body massages to facials. You can also book her a relaxing Head Spa treatment. Jelly Skin Lab is offering a 15-Step Korean Hair Spa that will not only make for a rejuvenating treat but will help nourish her scalp and hair. Prices depend on hair length and start from P2,680.

For self-care gift items, CeraVe — which is the 3rd most recommended brand by dermatologists worldwide! — has a range of gentle products from cleansers to moisturizers, perfect for mom. As we grow older, our skin naturally changes — often becoming drier and more delicate, partly due to a drop in key hormones that help keep it hydrated and resilient. That’s why CeraVe makes such a thoughtful gift for moms. Its dermatologist-developed formulas are packed with ceramides and hydrating ingredients that help strengthen the skin barrier, locking in moisture and protecting against everyday irritation.

The brand just launched in the country and is currently offering complimentary and trial packs on their official Shopee store. If you want to shop offline, their products are available at Watsons, SM Beauty, LOOK, Mercury Drug, and Southstar Drug.

If you're wondering about its efficacy in the Philippines (as a brand that's gained such a sterling reputation in Western countries), L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty's Head of Medical Visit Virginie Cardon confidently shared to The Beat Asia during the launch that their products have gone through rigorous testing for environments such as ours: "We have conducted different chemical studies published in dermatological journals, and we have also done studies in humid environments, like the Philippines and India, and the rest of Southeast Asia."

Anna Fujimori, L'Oréal International Distribution's Head of Marketing, also revealed to us their number one recommendation this summer: "For the Philippines, the recommended product is the Moisturizing Lotion. It's extremely hydrating, and it has such a lightweight texture that even in this hot, humid Philippine weather, you'll still be able to use it every day. And it's also usable for babies, as young as two months old, so it's really something that everybody [of nearly all ages] can use."

Another self-care gift idea is candles. Somewhere Candle Co. sells unique candles and diffusers with scents inspired by popular cities. Find your mom’s favorite city and remind her of fond travel memories, or simply choose a scent to remind her of this special day. You can order directly from their Lazada store.

Have it Custom-Made

Personalized gifts are the best simply because they say, “I’ve thought of you while I picked this out.”

For moms who love to cook and are superheroes in the kitchen, this wooden chopping board from Tugon is the perfect gift. The best part about it is that you can have it personalized and engraved!

For bags and accessories, why not add a little flair to them by surprising her with leather goodies stamped or painted with her initials? The Leather Studio Manila offers hand-painted monograms for as low as P200 per inch, as well as hand-painted pet portraits! You can get a quote here.

Meanwhile, Straightforward is offering stamp services for as low as P50 (Free for a minimum spend of P3,000), which allows you to ‘make your own’ any bag from their personalized collection.

Fine and Dine Mom

For Filipinos, celebrations revolve around food. So why not gather the whole family for a nice meal she’ll cherish?

Solaire Resort Entertainment City has a ton of dining offers across its six restaurants and cafes. You can book a table at Fresh for a diverse buffet selection, enjoy an authentic salu-salo over a boodle fight spread at Waterside, or have an Afternoon Tea session with mom at Oasis Garden Café.

At Conrad Hotel, you can enjoy a lavish lunch and dinner buffet fit for a queen at Brasserie on 3 for only P3,800 per person on May 11, and enjoy their “Mom’s Day Decadence” collection of crafted cakes and pastries at the Bru Coffee Bar. Whole cakes start from P2,200 while themed pastries and confections start from P120.

And speaking of cakes, M Bakery is pulling out all the stops for the most important woman in our families with their decadent chocolate Mother’s Day cake. Prices start from P1,950, and you can call your preferred branch for pre-orders. You can find their contact information here.

There are loads of options that could perfectly fit your mom's preferences this weekend. If you're at a loss, check out our guide with hotel dining offers for Mother's Day here!

Earthquake Preparedness 101: What to Do Before, During, and After

by: The Beat Asia

"guide"

April 04, 2025

by: The Beat Asia

"guide"

With violent earthquakes wreaking havoc across Southeast Asia recently, discussions about “The Big One” have resurfaced online, instigating worry among netizens — specifically among Filipinos, as the country is situated on the Pacific Ring of Fire, making it vulnerable to powerful earthquakes.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) recently conducted a study that projects that a 7.2-magnitude earthquake along the West Valley Fault could happen in our lifetime. This 100-kilometer-long active fault line runs along several provinces, such as Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Cavite, including populated cities within Metro Manila.

“The Big One” is projected to cause widespread destruction, including the collapse of at least 168,000 buildings, and claim a total of 50,000 lives.

However, PHIVOLCS continues to remind the public that these are not predictions but scientific projections or possible scenarios, as there is no technology that could accurately predict when or where an earthquake will happen. They shared in a post that people should be discerning with the information they read online and monitor the official pages of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) for developments and updates.

If you’re unsure what to do should a tragedy like this hit your area, don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! By taking the right steps before, during, and after an earthquake, you can minimize risks and protect yourself and your loved ones.

What to Do Before

1. Discern your location and create an emergency plan

It’s important to know where your home is located and determine whether or not it’s situated along an active fault or is prone to collapse. We recommend doing a hazard assessment via HazardHunter PH, which will analyze if your location is prone to seismic, volcanic, or hydrometeorologic hazards. You can also use the PHIVOLCS self-check tool, “How Safe is My House?" mobile application, to evaluate the safety of your home from earthquakes. You can download it for free on the App Store.

It's also important to know your emergency exit routes and safe spaces. If you’re near the water, know where the highest point is in your area. Most properties, local government units (LGUs), and barangays have disaster preparedness plans, so make sure to familiarize yourself with them and know your designated evacuation sites.

2. Locate and learn to use disaster essentials

Learn how to turn off the gas, electricity, and water in your home, and know where the first aid kit, fire extinguishers, alarms, and communication devices are stashed.

3. Prepare an emergency supply kit

PHIVOLCS suggests preparing an emergency supply kit that would last around three days (72 hours). Make sure this bag is stashed in an accessible area so you can easily grab it and go should an earthquake occur. Items you should include in your emergency pack are:

First aid kit
Food
Bottled water
Flashlight and spare batteries
Battery-operated radio
Whistle
Knife
Candles and matches, lighter
Blankets, spare clothes, and shoes
Rope (at least 7 meters)
Toiletries
Permanent marker, pen, and paper
Emergency contact information
Important documents
Cash
Medication (for those with special needs)
Baby food (if necessary)

4. Earthquake-proof your home

Violent quakes will undoubtedly move things around. Secure heavy furniture to the walls, such as cabinets, bookshelves, and large appliances. It’s also helpful to ensure that electrical outlets and gas lines are properly maintained to prevent sparking fires during an earthquake.

5. Monitor developments and stay updated

Catch real-time updates on seismic activities by following PHIVOLCS on Facebook and X (Formerly Twitter). You can also follow credible news sources online to stay informed, as well as government agencies that often release hazard maps and preparedness guidelines.

What to Do During

If you’re indoors when an earthquake occurs, remain calm and stay where you are. Perform the DUCK/DROP, COVER, and HOLD technique. Drop down and take cover under a sturdy table. If this is unavailable, protect your head and neck until the shaking stops. Make sure to steer clear of hanging and heavy furniture such as chandeliers and shelves, and stay away from windows, mirrors, or anything that could fall and shatter.

If you’re outside, locate the closest open space free from buildings, powerlines, trees, or anything that could collapse. If you’re driving at the time of the earthquake, park to the side and evacuate the car. Steer clear of mountainsides as they could corrode, and don’t attempt to cross bridges, overpasses, or flyovers.

If you’re near the sea, find a high point and move as far away as you can from the water, for powerful quakes could cause tsunamis. Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings until the tremors cease. Always remember that you’re safety is a priority. Leave your belongings behind and ensure you get to the evacuation sites.

What to Do After

1. Check for injuries and proceed to the evacuation centers

Check yourself and others for injuries and perform first aid if needed. Prioritize children, pregnant women, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and seniors.

If medical help is required, find the nearest evacuation site or call the emergency hotline. You can find a list of National 911 emergency contacts here. Find the trunk and direct lines for your city, and make sure to have these numbers in your contact list. We recommend having a physical copy of these numbers inside your emergency kits, as saving them solely on your phone won’t be useful should the device run out of battery.

If you’re trapped somewhere, remain calm. Use a whistle or flashlight to make yourself visible to rescuers. Also, cover your mouth and nose to keep from inhaling smoke and debris.

2. Expect and be prepared for aftershocks

Earthquakes can often be followed by aftershocks, which can be as strong as the initial tremors. Remember to stay alert during this time.

If you’re inside, some infrastructure might have already been weakened by the first wave, so be careful of falling debris. If you’re outdoors, remain in an open area away from anything that could fall or collapse. Check for water, gas leaks, toxic spills, electrical and other damages. For those in coastal locations, find higher ground immediately.

3. Stay informed

Communication lines may be disrupted, which is where battery-operated radios may come in handy. Listen in for updates from authorities regarding aftershocks and evacuation orders. If you happen to have your mobile phones on you, conserve battery as much as possible and only use them for emergencies.

We hope this list has equipped you for when disaster strikes. Stay safe, folks!
