A highlight was the bamboo earning booth, demonstrating how Ka-pandas could accumulate bamboo points through successful deliveries, which could be redeemed for exclusive foodpanda merchandise.

As the evening advanced, attendees were treated to spectacular performances by popular OPM artists like Sponge Cola, I Belong to the Zoo, and Arci Muñoz, among other special guests. The event also included thrilling on-stage games and a raffle with fantastic prizes. For those unable to attend physically, the event was live-streamed on Facebook, allowing delivery partners nationwide to participate virtually and stand a chance to win prizes.
