Dubai: Across Abu Dhabi, stray cats depend on the kindness of people who stop to feed them. For Filipino expatriate Jonathan Corporal Sibol, that kindness has grown into a commitment that goes beyond food.
What started in 2014 as an effort to feed stray cats has gradually become something bigger. Today, Sibol is involved in community initiatives to support stray animals, promote responsible pet ownership, and raise awareness about animal welfare.
Originally from Angono, Rizal, in the Philippines, Sibol moved to Abu Dhabi in 2010 in search of better income and opportunities for career growth.
He had previously worked as an assistant in psychiatric rehabilitation in the Philippines but wanted to build a more independent life.

His first experience in Abu Dhabi has been more positive than he had anticipated. He has quickly found a job as a receptionist at a health and fitness club.
“When I landed in Abu Dhabi, I thought it would be hard for me, but I was wrong.
