Owndays Philippines holds 2nd ‘Cases for Change’ event

Continuing its commitment to social responsibility, Owndays Philippines– a leading Japanese eyewear brand–hosted its 2nd Cases for Change event last March 1, 2024 at their flagship branch in SM Megamall. The launch was filled with insightful stories and heartwarming testimonials, central to this year’s Cases for Change theme of Philippine Animal Well-Being.

In her opening remarks, Ms. Jammie Gregorio, Owndays Philippines Marketing Manager, kicked off the Cases for Change 2024 launch, stating, “Let’s spark the conversation for change today as we engage with our esteemed partners and reveal the cases that symbolize our shared commitment to this cause.”

The three partner organizations were then officially announced, united with OWNDAYS in their dedication to advocating for animal well-being— CURMA (Coastal Underwater Resource Management Actions), PEF (The Philippine Eagle Foundation), and PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society). 

Valuable representatives from each organization took center stage to share some inspirational stories and eye-opening realities. 

CURMA emphasized the critical role of sea turtles as a keystone species in protecting our oceans, shedding light on the importance of safeguarding marine ecosystems. PEF brought attention to the plight of the Philippine eagle, emphasizing the urgent threat of deforestation to our national birds and the need for preserving our rich cultural tapestry. PAWS highlighted the staggering numbers of 12 million stray cats and dogs in the Philippines, advocating for responsible pet ownership and sharing a powerful sentiment that: what we do to the animals, we ultimately do to ourselves.

The highlight of the event was the revealing of the beautifully and locally designed collaboration cases by Mr. Vohne Yao, Owndays Philippines Managing Director, and Mr. Takayuki Nagao, Owndays Regional Manager.
