Walking through the Zoo Med Expo

Since the start of the pandemic, mass gatherings have been prohibited to avoid the spread of COVID-19. As time went by, people wondered if things would still go back to the way they were.

But as cases started to dwindle in 2022, it felt like people were settling into the new normal. During this time, The International Gamefowl Festival (IGF) invited Zoo Med Philippines (ZMP) to participate in their annual event at the World Trade Center in Pasay.

It was, of course, a challenging feat to make certain that such a big event would remain safe for guests and exhibitors alike.

After months of preparation, Deltaman, the IGF, and the organizers of ZMP (Lendl Lin, Jing Oliveros, and yours truly), created a set of ground rules. For instance, tickets had to be bought primarily online. There were also shifting schedules. These, among other guidelines, were set to accommodate the current alert level.
