Started by Robert James Lesterio 11 years, 8 months ago
I'm Robert James Lesterio, a Senior Communication Student at USLS-Bacolod. As part of my thesis advocacy entitled "Giving Voice to the Voiceless", I passed a project plan to our Mayor Monico Puentevella containing the description of the advocacy, the specific objectives, the timetable, and the budget and sourcing.


This petition demands to:

(1) Expand the dog pound located at Singcang, Bacolod City, since there's a bigger area available.

(2) Make separate cages for each dog for them to not fight and infect each other with diseases.

(3) Make the City Pound open for all and make the dogs available for adoption after careful screening processes for both the dog and the potential new owner.

(4) That Island Rescue Organization Bacolod Chapter's temporary shelter be relocated to the Dog Pound's area. It will then be well-managed my them.

(5) Make the City Pound a "No-Kill Shelter".


All of this will be possible if we will sign this petition and support the fundraising activities I prepared in collaboration with my friends.


Fundraising activities:

(1) "When Hearts Sing" Fundraising Album featuring local artists to be released on December 9 for only P100.

(2) Dog Walk 2015: "Paws in Motion" which will be on January 2015.

(3) Beneficiary Concert on February 7, 2015 at Santuario de La Salle.


We will be the voice for the voiceless if we support this advocacy and promote it to our friends and relatives. ONE BACOLOD!

I honestly cannot believe how many people are looking at this now because it feels like just yesterday I was trying to explain this whole project to my friends and they were being so patient but skeptical. This momentum is just wild and it proves that people really do care about these animals. I should probably start mapping out how to get this to the mayor because things are moving faster than I ever thought possible and I need to keep up.

Is there a time limit to this petition? I notice our goal is 1000 yet we're only at 31 signatures. Reading those comments before my own, I also noticed that this has been going on for 3 weeks (or more) and I have yet to hear about this anywhere. If we want signatures, we should spread the word of the movement and use the resources at our fingertips. Facebook is widely used for various objectives of make a stand and to keep people aware. If anything, let's at least try and get more people to sign up for this through there.

Dogs have feelings too and we can help them find a home by putting them up for adoption. Help these lost and lonely creatures by expanding the dog pound and making the place a no-kill shelter.

let the public know. I'm sure there are lots of people who are open to adopting dogs from the pound. killing them for lack of budget or whatever reasons will do no good. the pound in the first place was created to provide safety to the public as well as to the dogs. with social media and all sort of technology, spreading the notice and petitions for help would be an easy task. give us enough time to save all the dogs. they've been through so much. maybe its time to that we consider their feelings as well as they prioritize ours. let those who want to help take a step forward.

Dogs are also living creatures. They too have their rights. Let us not be blind about the city's dog pound situation. They need care and effort from human beings.
