A cat meows while looking out from its carrier as animals and their owners gather at Our Ladies of Remedies Parish in the Malate area of Manila on October 6, 2019, for an annual pet blessing ceremony. The event was in part of celebrations to mark the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint for ecologists, honouring his boundless love for animals and nature.
