Last year I wrote about the Congressman Greg Gasataya Dog Show award which prominently featured his face and name. If you thought that was ridiculous then you haven't seen anything yet. You know that ought to be a DOT slogan. "Welcome to the Philippines! If you thought that was ridiculous then you haven't seen anything yet!"
I present to you the award statue for the 1st Mayor Bing Leonardia Dog Fest 2019.
Ain't she a beaut? That is epal perfection. Why not call it the Bacolod City Dog Fest? Because then the Mayor couldn't slap his name and face on this award and event. Kind of funny that this Dog Fest was held on March 23rd which is just a few weeks prior to the election. One might think that this was totally a political event designed to score votes. Not that Bing had any real competition anyway but that is beside the point.
The grammar on this statue is horrible. 1st Mayor Bing Leonardia Dog Fest 2019. Will there be another Mayor Bing Leonardia Dog Fest in 2019? Doubtful. That makes this the ONLY Mayor Bing Leonardia Dog Fest 2019. Likely the ONLY Mayor Bing Leonardia Dog Fest EVER! This event is not even mentioned on the Philippine Canine Club's list of dog shows for 2019.
That's because it's not an official dog show put on by a kennel club. Look at this schedule of events.

Free rabies vaccine and a dog fashion show! Are those things that an official dog show would do? No.
Look closely at the symbol on the top of this picture. The green circle with the red eagle. Do you know what that is? It's on the Dog Fest award too.
It's the logo of the Mayor's political party Grupo Progreso! Undoubtedly this Dog Fest was nothing more than a way to score votes. But what better way for a group of political dogs to garner votes than by hosting their own Dog Fest!?
