In December 2011, Kabang ran into a motorcycle to protect two children in Zamboanga City, suffering severe facial injuries and later receiving treatment at UC Davis.

Zamboanga City, Philippines

Story

Kabang knocked over a motorcycle that two children had not seen, sparing them serious injury while suffering devastating facial injuries herself.

Her later care required fundraising, travel to UC Davis, treatment for other illnesses and surgery, making the story more than a single heroic moment.

Kabang is archived because the case preserves both instinctive protection and the long human responsibility that followed.
