MANILA, Philippines – Not even the COVID-19 pandemic can prevent Eastwood City in Quezon City from celebrating its annual pet blessing in celebration of World Animal Day on Sunday.
However, this year’s celebration comes with a twist, as pet owners and their fur babies simply stayed inside their vehicles and drove down Eastwood Citywalk to receive the blessing.
In photos provided by Megaworld Lifestyle Malls, it showed a priest giving dogs, cats, and even a parrot his blessing along with their owners driving through the area.
For the blessing, pet owners should follow this route if they want to participate in the celebration:
Vehicles must enter through the main Eastwood City entrance (Citibank entrance);
Go straight to E-Commerce Road;
Turn left onto Dunkin Donuts;
Turn right towards Phoa Hoa;
Cross Citywalk Drive to see the Blessing of Pets proper;
Go straight towards TGIFridays;
Turn right to exit.
“Megaworld Lifestyle Malls continues to celebrate the presence and genuine company that our pets provide us, especially during this time of the pandemic. We may not be able to celebrate it like we used to, but we still have every reason to be grateful for the moments we spend with our loyal friends, ”said Tefel Pesigan-Valentino, Vice President of Marketing for Megaworld Lifestyle Malls. in a sentence.
“Drive-thru Pet Blessing also encourages social and physical distancing as much as possible, helping to ensure the continued safety of all,” he added.
The Blessing of Pets, which has been an annual tradition in Eastwood City since 2005, is held every October in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals.
A special online contest was also launched in which pet owners, along with their fur babies, are invited to dress up in futuristic costumes of their choice using recycled materials.
The top five jobs will receive special gifts and prizes, said Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.
