foodpanda logistics hosts “Pautastic Event ng Taon” year-end party for Ka-pandas

Foodpanda Logistics recently hosted its much-anticipated “Pautastic Event ng Taon” Year-End Party on December 8, 2024, marking its third year of celebrating the hard work and dedication of its Ka-panda delivery partners.

Held at the Aseana City Open Grounds in Parañaque City, the event was bigger and better than ever, bringing together not only foodpanda's riders but also their families and friends for a day of fun, entertainment, and appreciation.

A Heartfelt Celebration of Dedication

The Pautastic Event ng Taon is an annual tradition that honors the commitment of foodpanda's dedicated delivery fleet. This year's festivities kicked off with the Ka-panda Rider Caravan, an exciting event where current Ka-pandas updated their accounts for smoother deliveries in the coming year. The caravan also provided an opportunity for non-Ka-pandas to explore the possibility of joining foodpanda’s growing delivery network.

Pre-Show Fun and Interactive Activities

Before the main entertainment kicked off, attendees enjoyed a variety of interactive booths provided by official event partners. These booths offered a range of food, beverages, and engaging activities for all attendees to enjoy. A particularly popular feature was the bamboo earning booth, where Ka-pandas could accumulate bamboo points through successful deliveries. These points could be redeemed for exclusive foodpanda merchandise, adding another layer of excitement and reward for the hardworking riders.

Evening Entertainment and Live Performances

As the evening unfolded, the crowd was treated to a series of memorable performances by top OPM artists, including Spongecola, I Belong to the Zoo, and Arci Muñoz. These musical acts energized the crowd and set the tone for an unforgettable celebration.

Additionally, Ka-pandas had the chance to participate in exciting on-stage games, further enhancing the atmosphere of fun and camaraderie. The event also featured a raffle with fantastic prizes. For those unable to attend in person, the party was live-streamed on Facebook, allowing delivery partners nationwide to join in the festivities virtually.

Community and Sponsor Support

The Pautastic Event ng Taon was made even more special thanks to the generous support of foodpanda's brand partners, including CignalPlay, Mega Prime Foods Inc., Seaoil, Realme, and Angkas, as well as major sponsors like Universal Robina Corporation, Converge, Kawasaki, and more. These partnerships helped ensure that the event was a massive success, offering an exciting experience for all attendees.

Empowering Delivery Partners through D’Best Ka Ka-panda

Beyond the celebration, foodpanda Logistics is deeply committed to empowering its Ka-panda delivery partners through its D’Best Ka Ka-panda program. This initiative focuses on five key areas: safety, well-being, personal development, community, and welfare perks.

The company continues to refine its initiatives, aiming to enhance the delivery experience for its riders. Ron Sanders, Rider Experience Lead at foodpanda Logistics Philippines, emphasized the importance of making Ka-pandas feel valued. "We want them to feel supported and empowered in their partnership with us," he said. "This event is our way of showing appreciation for their incredible dedication throughout the year."

The Pautastic Event ng Taon underscores foodpanda’s commitment to fostering a sense of unity and community among its delivery partners. With the continued growth of the D’Best Ka Ka-panda program, foodpanda is dedicated to ensuring its delivery fleet thrives both professionally and personally.
