🐾 MORE THAN JUST A STRAY
An Advocacy Documentary by BSIT-MAA, Section INF 264
National University – Manila
Sun Valley Rabies, Animal Welfare & Wildlife Response is honored to have been part of the advocacy documentary “More Than Just a Stray,” created by the students of BSIT-MAA, Section INF 264 of National University – Manila for their Purposive Communication subject.
The documentary sheds light on the realities faced by Aspins (Asong Pinoy) especially those experiencing neglect, abandonment, discrimination, and cruelty. More than simply being dogs commonly seen on our streets, Aspins are living beings deserving of the same compassion, protection, proper care, and respect given to every animal.
Through this documentary, the students help promote greater awareness of responsible pet ownership, animal welfare, rescue efforts, and the importance of standing against animal cruelty. It also highlights the Philippine Animal Welfare Act and ongoing efforts toward strengthening animal protection in our communities.
We sincerely thank the students behind “More Than Just a Stray” for choosing to use their voices and talents to advocate for animals that cannot speak for themselves. We are grateful for the opportunity to share some of our experiences in animal welfare and response and to help them better understand the realities encountered in protecting vulnerable animals.
May this documentary remind everyone that animal welfare is a shared responsibility. Change begins when we choose compassion over indifference and responsible action over neglect.
🐕 They may be called strays, but they are never without worth.
Every Aspin deserves safety, care, dignity, and a chance to live a life free from cruelty.
From all of us at Sun Valley Rabies, Animal Welfare & Wildlife Response, congratulations to the entire documentary team of BSIT-MAA, Section INF 264 for completing this meaningful advocacy project.
Together, let us continue building a community where every animal is valued, protected, and treated with compassion.
