Healthy communities begin with shared responsibility —
and sometimes, that responsibility has four paws.
On June 27, 2026, the University of Mindanao,
in partnership with the City Veterinarian’s Office (CVO), conducted an Anti-Rabies
Vaccination Activity for employees of the university community. The
initiative offered free anti-rabies vaccinations for dogs and cats, making it
easier for pet owners to protect their beloved companions while contributing to
the safety and well-being of everyone around them.
The vaccination drive was met with an encouraging
response as employees brought their pets to receive this essential preventive
care. For many, it was more than just fulfilling a requirement — it was an
expression of love and responsibility for the animals they consider part of
their families.
Beyond protecting pets, the activity also highlighted the
importance of preventing rabies, a disease that can be effectively controlled
through regular vaccination. It served as a reminder that every vaccinated pet
helps create a safer environment for families, workplaces, and the community.
The partnership with the City Veterinarian’s Office
reflects the University’s commitment to initiatives that promote health,
wellness, and community engagement. By bringing accessible veterinary services
closer to employees, the University continues to support programs that extend
care beyond the workplace and encourage a culture of compassion and shared
responsibility.
The success of the Anti-Rabies Vaccination Activity was
made possible through the collaboration between the University of Mindanao
and the City Veterinarian’s Office, as well as the active participation
of employees who recognized the value of responsible pet ownership.
Through meaningful partnerships and community-centered
initiatives like this, the University continues to foster a culture where care
goes beyond people — it also embraces the well-being of the animals that bring
joy, comfort, and companionship to our lives. After all, protecting our pets is
another way of protecting our community.
