This microlearning course helps community members move from awareness to action in preventing cruelty and neglect toward dogs and cats in their communities. The course provides simple steps, local reporting pathways, and realistic welfare actions learners can complete within their own capacity and timeline.
The course uses short lessons, photo-based scenarios, templates, and action planning tasks to guide learners toward one real welfare action in their barangay or neighborhood.

The Need
Animal cruelty and neglect often happen in everyday community settings. Many people notice issues but hesitate to act due to fear of conflict, lack of knowledge, or uncertainty about legal protections and reporting processes.
This course responds to that gap. It gives learners clear guidance, safe reporting steps, and practical actions that reduce hesitation and increase confidence.
Target Learners
This course serves Filipino community members who want to help animals but feel unsure where to begin.
Persona A — The Hesitant Bystander
Sees roaming animals daily but avoids involvement due to fear of neighbor conflict. Needs step-by-step guidance and clarity on reporting.
Persona B — The Quiet Helper
Feeds stray animals and wants to support more responsibly. Needs documentation guidance and small organized actions.
Persona C — The New Advocate
Supports animal welfare online but lacks offline action steps. Needs reporting templates and clear action pathways.
Learning Goals
After completing the course, learners will:
• Identify signs of cruelty, abuse, and neglect using photo scenarios
• Explain protections under RA 8485 and RA 10631 in plain language
• Decide when reporting or small actions are appropriate
• Document a simulated cruelty case using a checklist
• Apply reporting pathways using provided templates
• Propose one realistic welfare action for their barangay
• Commit to completing one welfare action within their capacity
