Over 2000 Ka-Pandas Onboard with foodpanda

Those who rumor mongered a few years back might be biting their lips a lot by now as foodpanda concluded their onboarding caravan for hundreds of delivery partners, providers, and logistics personnel in Pasig City. This was after a very successful one that was held in Pasay City.

They also stand to benefit from different bonuses and perks that will be given to them as qualified partners, and Ka-Panda fleet. Mr. Ron Sanders the foodpanda Logistics Rider Experience Lead says "foodpanda continues to provide livelihood opportunities for folks who want flexible work while we  get to increase and enhance our delivery capabilities and better our customer experience for all."

He adds "These are 2000 Ka-Pandas and partner fleet members we've opened up as riders, bikers and even walkers. Different individuals who also have other careers and backgrounds. Some do this part time or also have other platforms. Others make this their primary source of income, but still give them lots of flexibility in work or work hours. We are so glad to have them onboard!"

In the event, they also have Rider Support Express to help with existing partners who may have a question, concern of two. They will be doing this in different cities via pandaPatrol: Hub on Wheels where they get to directly give help in different regions. They also get to give training sessions for those who recently joined and provide needed safety and delivery training. Some receive Bamboo Rewards and have them exchange it for foodpanda merch, a welcome perk aside from their insurance and health support for Ka-Panda partners.

Surely, there will be more of these soon in other areas. If you wish to know when and where, make sure to follow their social channels and download the app as everything will be announced there. 

Congratulations foodpanda! Cheers to more opportunities for your Ka-Pandas from here on!

foodpanda's Looking for 6 Beneficiaries of "Ka-Panda BIZ Women on Wheels"

Do you know that there are a lot of women foodpanda riders in the Philippines? Well foodpanda made sure that they do something special for them this Women's Day as they give BIGGER opportunities through their "Ka-panda BIZ Women on Wheels" program. This was witnessed by foodpanda Philippines executives, their partner organizations as they make sure that equality becomes a norm especially amongst women riders who are also part of their business.

Jerome Mangahas, foodpanda's Head of Communications and Public Affairs asserts this is the day to acknowledge women in the workforce and how they have been instrumental in the success of foodpanda, their community and their families. Last year, they only had 3 who were able to participate in the program but is now 6, which is welcome news.

Philippine Commission on Women OIC Atty Khay says "This year we challenge the stereotypes, the strength of their potential, the tough, independent, sociable, entrepreneur and woman. We believe every woman has the ability to choose, it's not a limitation, it's a source of strength. From the assumption that they are less capable, it hinders their choices. This also can be breeding a ground for violence. Women, your dreams, stories, it's all yours to claim. Our focus should remain steadfast, no matter how painful numbers are, women should remain equals. We should break down barriers and should do gender mainstreaming. The magna carta for women is turning 15 this year, this continues to promote equality. The law against violence to women and children on the other hand is on its 20th year. To make the most of it, we should assess and do proper targeting, increase women's specific needs. We need to continue to support GAD programs and advocate budget for it. We provide women the tools to take their families out of poverty. This national women's month, we must be united and put life in existing laws. We must pave ways for our partner organizations and it's beneficiaries."

Here's our video coverage which happened this morning.

Congratulations to Foodpanda, Foodpanda Logistics, Happinoy and the Philippine Commission on Women for being part of this!

foodpanda Offers THIS MUCH in the Year of the Wood Dragon

Tikoy and more!

Chinese New Year is quite near, approximately 5 days from now. The Year of the Wood Dragon screams of power, vigor and charisma... so lucky are those who would be born in this year.

Luck is for everybody and so here goes our lovely folks from foodpanda to make sure you get the perks you need to get that celebration started. They calle it "Feast of Fortune" which comes with tons of good things so you could take 2024 with confidence, just like what the dragon represents, and Pau-Pau too.

Tikoy in Your Area

As sticky as that sounds, a staple in every Filipino CNY celebration is Tikoy. You can get one from Pandamart for as low as Php 99. I usually do my groceries online these days because they've got promos and vouchers available that would make delivery FREE and even get a few hundred pesos off the actual bill. You can also opt for other stores in the same section and get your own Pau-Pau Ang Pau with it. This is only available from February 1-11, just hearing that date makes it so auspicious!


For the Dragon Appetite

If you want to pick up the food or have it delivered, foodpanda does it all. They've got several Chinese Restaurants, food establishments that would make your celebrations easy because you never even have to cook. This is also the time to eat tons of dumplings (for more money according to Chinese folklore) which I've been doing in the past few weeks (please don't judge lol).

From Lumpia, Pansit, Lechon Macau, and the variety of noodles, you'll get not just long life, but a great meal for family and friends.

Best of all, you can get to take Php 500 off your bill on pandamart, other shops or food delivery services by using CNY500 on February 9-11, so make sure to take note! There are other deals inside the app plus subscriptions that can get you more deals at the foodpanda app!

If you want to know more, visit their site foodpanda.ph or their social channels because everything's there!

As they say during this season, Gong Xi! Gong Xi!
