A Summer PAWradise Awaits
Join us on April 25 at Villar Children’s Farm for fun activities, expert talks, and treats for you and your pup.

Las Piñas City, April 13, 2026 – Dog lovers and owners are in for a fun-filled event as fourth-year Multimedia Arts students from Southville International School and Colleges bring PAWradise: A Summer Dog Fair to Villar Children’s Farm on April 25, 2026, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. 

For ₱250, guests gain access to a lineup of activities, learning, and entertainment for both pets and their humans.

Pup-Ups will feature a variety of pet treats, supplies, and essentials from participating merchants.

One of the highlights of the program is Pup-Talk, featuring Dr. Geoff Carullo, current president of the Philippine College of Canine Practitioners. He will discuss proper nutrition for dogs during hot weather and how to prevent heat exhaustion. Coach Cheryl Salvador, Certified Family Dog Mediator and Accredited Dog Trainer with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and founder of The Dog Tango, will also share insights on proper leash behavior and socialization training.

The Pawshion Show is a summer-themed dress-up competition where participants dress up their dogs and walk together in coordinated matching outfits. The competition is limited to the first 15 registrants, with a ₱200 participation fee that already includes access to the whole event. Winners will take home prizes, including vouchers from event sponsors.

The Southville Society of Entrepreneurs (SSE) will also host a dog food donation drive, where guests may drop off kibble, canned food, or bowls. All donations will be turned over to the Brgy. Manuyo Dos Mini Pound.

The venue is pet-friendly with wide open spaces. A Pawrk is available, a dedicated obstacle area for play. Access requires a ₱100 fee, to be paid directly to the venue rather than the event organizers.

Closing the program is Pawformance, featuring a live set by The Saltshakers, performing during the final hours of the event.

Entry to Villar Children’s Farm is limited to four-wheeled vehicles, with ample parking available within the venue.

Updates about the event will also be shared by Southville Artists Anonymous.

Yee, Trupa rule National Age Group Duathlon Elite Sprint Category

FRANKLIN Yee and Mary Joy Trupa defended their respective titles in the elite sprint category of the National Age Group Duathlon held at Villar City in Las Piñas City yesterday.

The 23-year-old Yee, a native of Bogo City, Cebu dominated the race (5km run-20km bike-2.5km run) in 56:20, improving the 57:13 he registered last year.

John Patrick Ciron of Iriga City, Camarines Sur finished second in 56.43, also an improvement as he clocked 57:26 to secure the bronze medal last year. Maynard Pecson of Baguio City ranked third with a time of 58:56.

“I’m happy to win again,” said Yee, a 4th year business management student at the University of San Carlos.

Pecson, the second-best Filipino finisher at the Ironman 70.3 in Davao two weeks ago, did not expect to medal.

“There are many strong competitors, especially the young ones,” said the 27-year-old Pecson, a graduating tourism management student from St. Louis University.

In the women’s division, 23-year-old Trupa bagged the gold medal in 1:06:51.

Lady Samantha Jhunace Corpuz (1:10:12) and Dhana Victoria Seda-Lomboy (1:11:57) placed second and third, respectively.

“I’m glad that I won, the goal is to keep on improving,” said Trupa, who graduated from the Tarlac Agricultural University in Camiling with a agri-business degree last January.

“I can now focus on my training and competitions,” said Trupa, who together with Yee and Pecson, will join the T100 Singapore event on April 25-26.

Meanwhile, Hermogenes Branzuela (57:46) ranked first in the men’s junior elite division of the tournament supported by Villar City, Gatorade, Milo, C-Vitt and Philippine Sports Commission (PSC).

Eric Hechanova (1:01:35) was second followed by Anxader Gomez (1:03:06).

Anisha Eunice Caluya (1:09:54), Candace Marie Socito (1:15:58) and Scottie Lee Awitan (1:20:20) were the podium finishers in the women’s junior elite division of the tournament, which is part of Triathlon Philippines’ grassroots and talent identification program.

First Batch Of Tricycle Drivers Receive Cash Relief Assistance In Las Piñas City

Around two thousand tricycle drivers (the first batch) have received their cash relief assistance at the Aguilar Sports Complex recently, according to the social media announcement of the City Government of Las Piñas. Each tricycle driver received P5,000 as relief from the much higher prices of fuel caused by the ongoing war against the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran which itself attacked multiple nations in the Middle East with missiles and drones.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the social media announcement of the City Government. Some parts in boldface…

The distribution of P5,000 cash payout of the AICS program for the first batch of tricycle drivers in Las Piñas City was held at Aguilar Sports Complex.

This is part of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s support to help drivers cope with the continuing rise of oil prices due to tensions in the Middle East.

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), and other offices of the city government are working together to ensure a smooth and peaceful distribution of aid to beneficiaries.

On the first day of payout, almost 2,000 drivers from TODA groups ACAPODA, APHDA, ATODA, BFLTSODA, BFRSSCV, BFRV-VG, CCTODA, CEBMTODA and BFATODA were given cash assistance. Payout will continue in the coming days to provide all registered members of TODA.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you often ride the tricycle when moving around?

You may answer in the comments below. If you prefer to answer privately, you may do so by sending me a direct message online.
