Super Sweepy: Bantay ng Bayan

"Now is the time for all good men
to come to my rescue . . ."




This is the most difficult decision
that I have to make in my entire life.
And although I love attention
I am not exactly the crusader type.
But somebody has to do it.
Among the HoundsInHeaven
I am the best to do the task
of being a SuperDog . . .
Bantay ng Bayan (Community Watchdog!)



Ok, hold your drool, fellas . . .
This is it!
This is my moment!


I have my agenda all wrapped up . . .



I have my leash, my ID
and my to-die-for SMILE . . .
and with legs shaking and drool all over
I'm ready to discuss Big Issues
with the Big Guys . . .



So together with my Keeper Lui
and the rah-rah hounds of Heaven
Ok, villains, your time is up
for here comes the SuperDog!!




I have to take a tricycle ride!
Although tricycles pollute the air
this small, bumpy and handy transport
will take me to my destination in 10 minutes!

Thank you JR for driving us safely!
Superdogs need super chauffeurs, right?



First Stop: The Municipal's Office
Office of Mayor Calixto Cataquiz
of the town of San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines


My Mission Impossible:
I will be the icon to help my community
to volunteer to disseminate information
about the different laws and ordinances
and campaign for its strict implementation.


First Issue: Republic Act 8485
or The Animal Welfare Act.

No to maltreatment and abuses of all animals.
No to irresponsible ownership of pets.
No to dog-eating.
No to dog-fighting.
No to allowing dogs to roam the street
without a leash!
No to abandoning animals on the streets to die!


Second Issue: Anti-Littering ordinance

Educate kids in schools, teachers and residents!
Impose fine of P300 ($5-$6!)
or do community service!
(Let those filthy blokes sweep the streets, Mayor!)


Third Issue: Ban Pellet Guns!
Letter of Instruction 1964 prohibits
the sale of gun replicas!

These small innocent plastic projectiles
can travel up to 200 feet and
can cause serious injuries
including blindness!

Mayor, see the injury I got from gun pellets!




The kind Mayor Cataquiz noted all my issues.
And gave his commitment and support . . .

I salute you Mayor!
I give you ten paws up!!!



My next stop: The Barangay Office
of San Vicente, Laguna.
And the Barangay Captain (Head)
is Kapitan Norvic D. Solidum . . .


The barangay office is the smallest government unit in the Philippines tasked with implementing of laws and ordinances in cooperation with the Municipal government. As I have said, I am dealing only with the big guys in the community . . . .



Kap Solidum noted and approved my program.
Finally, I have the support of the regulatory agencies.
Now, on to the community and other stakeholders . . .
Since the barangay office have visitors
I decided to charm my way
and my campaign to them too!


Thank you, Kap Solidum!
You're no. 1 in our paw-some world!


Next Stop:
The schools, homeowner association,
petshops, vets and animal clinics,
transport terminals, whew! . . .
My crusade has just began
and I am beat . . .
but only for now . . .



I will see this campaign to the end.
Wish me luck . . .
Woof!


Postcript: This campaign is my special gift to my Keeper Luchie who is celebrating her birthday today (It is November 26, 2007 in the Philippines as I blog!). . . Happy B-day, Uchi! Ur xtremly Paw-some!
