inquirer.net —

CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City has been recognized as the second most pet-friendly travel destination in Asia, according to Agoda. This ranking highlights the city's commitment to animal welfare, led by Dr. Alice Utlang of the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Fisheries. Dr. Utlang has implemented significant changes in animal care, including replacing harmful methods of capturing and euthanizing stray animals. The introduction of spay and neuter programs and the CNVR (Catch, Neuter, Vaccinate, and Return) approach has improved the treatment of strays and reduced euthanasia rates. As of March 2025, no animals have been euthanized in the first two months of the year, with over 80 dogs and cats still awaiting adoption. The DVMF continues to promote responsible pet ownership and vaccination awareness among the community.
