A lot has been said about dogs and cats, and every pet in general. M.K. Clinton said "The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog," while Charles Dickens shared "What greater gift than the love of a cat."
Ultimately, it sums up to loving them in return. It’s about caring for your pet---whatever the breed or look---whether it’s a wagging tail or a gentle purr, your paw‑some companions make your house a home—and they deserve to be cared for every step of the way.
These in reality, have given way to rise of pet hospitals from the quaint neighborhood clinics, canine and feline spas and hotels, and even pet crematoriums and memorial parks. All because of mutual love of pets and fur‑parents.

BDO & MASTERCARD: SUPPORTING OVERSEAS PINOYS
For 20 years, BDO Unibank and Mastercard have been collaborating to shape how overseas Filipinos send and receive money, and stay financially connected to their families back home.
The collaboration---a two-decade milestone---has reached more than 4 million Filipinos abroad, supporting remittance and payment services designed to be faster, more secure, and accessible.
Combining BDO’s remittance network with Mastercard’s global payments infrastructure, the two organizations have played a role in expanding access to financial services for Filipinos across different markets.
“For the last 20 years, the collaboration between BDO and Mastercard has helped serve overseas Filipinos—over 4 million of them—and we look forward to the next 20 years of working with BDO,” said Jason Crasto, Country Manager, Philippines, Mastercard.
The collaboration is also reflected in everyday financial use. Millions of BDO ATM cards carrying the Mastercard logo are used locally and overseas, supporting transactions that range from remittances to daily purchases.
“We’re proud to stand alongside BDO in this collaboration that has reached millions of Filipinos here and abroad. Its use across markets reflects the role we’ve built together over the years in supporting how they stay connected financially,” Crasto added.
For BDO, the collaboration is closely tied to its focus on serving overseas Filipinos and their families.
“At the heart of our 20-year collaboration with Mastercard is a shared commitment to serve our kabayans,” said Genie Gloria, senior vice president and head of Remittance at BDO.
She noted that beyond facilitating transactions, the aim has been to make it easier for Filipinos abroad to support their families.
“As we look ahead, our focus remains clear—to continuously innovate and uplift the remittance experience, ensuring that every remittance is not just a transaction, but a connection delivered with care and trust,” Gloria said.
As digital adoption continues to shape financial behavior, both organizations said they are working on new solutions aimed at improving security, convenience, and accessibility, particularly for Filipinos navigating cross-border transactions.
“There’s a lot of innovation you’ll be hearing more about in 2026,” Crasto said, noting that upcoming initiatives will focus on making transactions simpler and more secure for users.
As the collaboration moves forward, BDO and Mastercard said they remain focused on expanding financial access and supporting Filipinos wherever they may be. (Jovi T. De Leon)
