| At least 80 bettas were judged during the Mini Friendship Cup of ABA. This one won a place in a certain category! |
I actually went to the 2nd Pet Fair Philippines held at the Starmall Edsa-Shaw last November 24-25, but I unfortunately forgot to take pictures. However, one of the members of the Circle of Hamster Owners of the Philippines (CHOP) managed to share to me the photos she took personally and/or grabbed from peers.
Here are the pictures of what happened in the Pet Fair Philippines 2. All photos credited to Miss Ruth Avelino and the photographers (Sir Aeking) behind it.
And as promised, there were pets on display such as wonderful bettas, birds,gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, mice, snakes, tarantulas and tortoises.

| This one's a fat-tailed gerbil owned by a CHOP member, Sir Caezar. I got to hold it; definitely, one of the CHOP's exhibit stars. |
 |
| A roborovski hamster, the smallest of all hamsters, takes shelter under the drinking bottle. Hope you spotted it! |
 |
| Visitors wander around different exhibits. This is the CHOP exhibit. They produced hamster care sheets which deemed really helpful for first-time hamster owners. |
 |
| This, apparently, is a snake (ball python?). I was able to place it like a scarf around my neck. Not scary though. |
 |
| These chubby creatures are hamsters. I think these were imported from Europe just for the exhibit. They' really resemble big fur balls. Thanks to El Kapitan Hamstery for bringing them in the PH. |
 |
| This is the HamVille exhibit set up by Sir Baych of HamVille and friends from the Hamster Lovers Organization (HLO). Different colors of hamsters were on view here. |

| These are the hamster care sheets of CHOP. |
 |
| A bird sits calmly atop a hamster bin. This green-colored species has been tamed; that's why it does not fly away . It's easy to tame birds, really. :) You just have to understand them and how they take defense in a new environment. |
 |
| A guinea pig! I got to see a lot of these in Pet Galore's buy-and-sell area. The booth they had displayed for-sale pet accessories and treats. |
