Animal rescuer now a fellowship adviser for AAA PH
In the Philippines, animal justice advocates wear many hats — one of which is a chef’s hat, literally!
Chris Cabiles is an animal justice advocate and animal rescuer. She is also the genius behind the wonderful dishes offered by the Philippine-based vegan restaurant called Shirley’s Just Vegan. “We want to continue our mom’s advocacy of helping animals by offering cruelty-free food. We also want to prioritize sourcing ingredients from suppliers who adhere to our ethical practices,” she says.
“Shirley’s just Vegan was born out of our love for the animals and the planet,” Chris adds. Through the business, she has a platform to help organizations advocating for animal justice through informational campaigns, donations, and promotions.

True to form, Chris volunteers as one of the fellowship advisers for Animal Alliance Asia (AAA) Philippines. Throughout 2024, she will be providing expert advice on how small vegan food businesses in the provinces can become more sustainable amidst today’s challenging economic climate.
Supporting animals also means supporting small vegan businesses! If you’re in Metro Manila, you might want to try the delicious vegan food they offer. You can also find Shirley’s Just Vegan on Facebook or Instagram.
