Manila, Philippines – Everybody yearns to come home to love. Nowadays, pets are treated as family members capable of providing emotional support, unconditional love, and a sense of “home” for their loved ones. Families with pets share a truly incredible kind of bonding and loving relationship. This Valentine’s Day, PLDT Home celebrates the unique love shared by different kinds of families – including pet parents and their fur babies.
Not your typical love story
PLDT Home celebrates the unconditional love of families for their fur babies in a special video that features unique love stories of pet parents. In the video, concert and events director Paolo Valenciano, managing director and editor-in-chief Gretchen Gatan, CEO and cycling instructor Kristina Sy, marketing manager Camille Tantoco, and musician and managing director JJ Pimpinio talk about how being pet parents changed their homes. Paolo says of his Shih Tzu Trooper, “He is really part of our family. That’s why my daughter calls Trooper ‘kuya.”
Though unconventional, pet parents show unconditional love and meaningful connection with their fur babies in their own unique ways such as making sure that their home is safe and secured for their pets. “I make sure that my daughter, Leah, and Trooper are always safe. I have a PLDT Home Fam Cam at home that lets me take care of them whenever and wherever I am”. She says, “When I got married, my husband and I had to look for a condo that is near our offices so that if something urgent happens with our pets at home, we can go to them right away.”
Home security is very important to us. We upgraded our PLDT Home Fibr connection and installed home monitoring cameras to ensure Bella is well-monitored at home.
A sweet treat for furry pals
As an early Valentine’s Day treat, PLDT Home held a paw-some date for pets and their owners at Paw Club Philippines, SM Mall of Asia and Bark Central in Eastwood City on February 8, Saturday.
It was a fun-filled afternoon of bonding and pampering for humans and pets alike as they participated in different activities such as caricature painting, do-it-yourself collar crafting, and pet grooming.
In addition, award-winning veterinarian and trainer Dr. Abel Manalo also held a special dog training activity to teach obedience, protection, and other disciplines.
You also have a chance to win gift certificates for your furry friends from PLDT Home! On February 9, post a cute meme of your pet and why you love coming home to them, tag @pldthome and use the hashtag #ComeHometoLove.
