Cortes, accompanied by representatives from World Cat Federation, told Gov. Gwen Garcia that an international pool of judges will be coming over from Ukraine, Poland, and Ireland for the event which will be held at the Mandaue City Sports Center.
She said the contest is open to
all proud fur parents out there who will be given an opportunity to showcase
the beauties and talents of their beloved pets in the big competition. The
public may also adopt stray cats and dogs during the event, which is brought to
Cebu for the first time.
The World Cat
Federation is an international association of cat clubs. It was founded in 1988
in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and continues to have a strong presence in Latin
America, Western Europe, and in countries of the former USSR. It is currently based
in Germany.
In an interview with Sugbo News,
Cortes said she is optimistic of the event’s tourism impact, saying that these
judges will most likely bring their families during the event and will tour
around Cebu. (CL)
