Meralco’s Spay it Forward program encourages customers to spay their pets, with incentives and rewards for those who participate.
The Problem of Pet Overpopulation
Pet overpopulation is a significant issue in the Philippines, with millions of stray animals roaming the streets. This problem is not only a concern for animal welfare but also has economic and social implications. The lack of spayed or neutered pets contributes to the rapid growth of the stray animal population, leading to overcrowding in animal shelters and increasing the risk of disease transmission.

Meralco’s Spay it Forward initiative is a unique approach to addressing pet overpopulation. The program encourages customers to spay their pets, providing incentives and rewards for those who participate. The initiative aims to promote responsible pet ownership and reduce the number of stray animals in the community.
