There were more or less 12 million stray cats and dogs that roamed the streets of the Philippines in 2019, according to the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in a 2020 article.

In CEBU CITY, Philippines — Cebu City Councilor Rey Gealon is seeking police assistance in getting justice for “Bonbon,” a stray dog that survived animal cruelty.

Gealon, on Thursday, Nov. 10, 2022, wrote a letter to Police Col. Ireneo Dalogdog, Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) director, urging the CCPO personnel to track down and build up a case against the culprits behind the stabbing of “Bonbon.”

Cruelty towards Bonbon is just an example of how evil people can be.
