PAWS Pet Blessing 2017
Pet blessings were first organized by Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) President, Nita Hontiveros-Lichauco in 1995 to make people more aware of St. Francis of Assisi. Now, the annual PAWS Pet Blessing which falls on the first Sunday of October has grown into a huge celebration by animal lovers and animal welfare advocates.
