An overseas Filipino worker, who used to care for abandoned and neglected adult women with psychological issues at a residential care facility in the Philippines, has now set up his own program rescuing, training and feeding stray cats, in what he says is an extension of his former job.
Thirty-four-year-old Jonathan Corporal Sibol, a graduate of University of Rizal System with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, said his advocacy was also partly fueled by the fact that he comes from a family of pet lovers.The refuge center Sibol worked at in the Philippines is run by the Department of Social Welfare and Development . Its wards are mostly women rescued from the streets by government authorities or referred by local government units as well as religious and civic organizations.
Sibol said there are certain similarities with his old and present jobs – “Working in a rehabilitation center, I helped a lot of senior Filipinos, took care of them and gave a time like what I'm doing now. “I started feeding stray cats in 2014. I was doing it in front of our place. There were around 15 cats. Eventually they grew in number until came a time when I started walking around the neighborhood to look for more,” Sibol said in a mix of English and the vernacular.
