foodpanda Logistics recently held a special event for its Ka-panda partner riders, as part of the festivities celebrating 11 years of foodpanda’s operations in the Philippines. The “hybrid” 11UP event – which saw over 100 Ka-panda riders from across the country joining onsite in Pasig, and thousands more watching the event online – was punctuated by exciting prizes and giveaways worth over P1.3 million.
The grand prizes included brand new motorcycles, driven home by lucky winners Mark Angelo Bojocan from Mega Manila; Jomar Cabrera from Luzon; Rico Jay Rotano from Visayas; and Regine Canoy from Mindanao.
“With a milestone as special as foodpanda’s eleven years in the country, it was very important that we celebrate it together with our hard-working Ka-panda partners,” remarked foodpanda Logistics Rider Experience Lead Ron Sanders.
“Just as important was making sure that Ka-pandas from across the country were well-represented, including for the raffle prizes. And it was only fitting that the grand prizes were motorcycles, something that they can also use for their livelihoods,” Sanders added.
Sanders noted that while the big event was one of the highlights of the anniversary, there are many more exciting activities lined up for Ka-panda riders, including visits to various rider communities, safety training, and exclusive discounts for riders.
“We want our Ka-pandas to feel just how much we value our partnership with them, and it starts with us going wherever they are,” Sanders noted, explaining that their Rider Support Express program will be heading to various cities in coming months to provide hands-on support to riders.
“We will also be conducting safety training and refresher courses for our Ka-pandas to help ensure their safety while they are out on the road,” Sanders added.
One of the most anticipated activities is the launching of an exclusive fuel discount program with Caltex, offering its Ka-panda partner riders savings of 10 pesos per liter at Caltex stations throughout the country. The year-long “Ka-panda Gasolinahan” campaign, which has already rolled out in various key cities and will soon expand to more areas, aims to help riders manage rising fuel costs and maximize their earnings as they navigate roads and deliver to customers’ doorsteps.
“We are definitely just getting started,” remarked Sanders on the series of activities. “Indeed, our Ka-panda partners are at the heart of what we do, and we will make sure that we support, give back and pay tribute to our delivery heroes.”
