Unleash Ph
Unleash Pet Gala 2025 dazzled pet lovers, celebrities, and industry leaders on 28 February at One Esplanade, MOA Complex, marking a milestone in pet care innovation. The event, hosted by Unleash PH, showcased groundbreaking advancements in pet services while celebrating the deep bond between pets and their owners.
The night kicked off with an exciting Fashion Show Competition, where stylish furbabies and their equally fashionable owners took to the runway. This heartwarming display of creativity and companionship set the tone for an evening filled with innovation and celebration.
A key moment of the event was the awarding of the Community Leader Award to PAWSsion Project, an organization dedicated to animal welfare. The award recognized PAWSsion Project’s relentless advocacy for pet adoption and improving the lives of animals in need, earning admiration from attendees.
Adding to the excitement, Michele Gumabao was officially introduced as the Face of the Unleash PH App. With her passion for animals and advocacy for pet welfare, Michele will help drive Unleash PH’s vision of accessible and innovative pet care.
The evening also featured the highly anticipated launch of Meets, Unleash’s new dating feature designed exclusively for pets. This unique addition to the app helps pet owners find compatible playmates—or even “soulmates”—for their furry friends, making socialization more fun and engaging.
Beyond fun and festivities, the gala marked the unveiling of Unleash PH’s expanded Services Feature, offering a comprehensive range of pet care solutions. From mobile grooming, telemedicine, and pet sitting to training, a pet-friendly café, and more, Unleash PH is committed to making pet care more accessible and convenient for all pet parents.
The event was graced by numerous celebrities, media partners, and institutional partners such as UAS, ePLDT, Huawei, Pioneer Insurance, Dunsk Kuhner, and various service providers collaborating with Unleash PH to enhance the pet care ecosystem.
