This year's celebration took a leap forward, embracing a new degree of exhilaration and inclusivity by inviting the families and friends of Ka-pandas to partake in the jubilation.
A Salute to Commitment
The year-end festivity was a warm acknowledgment of the devotion and dedication of the foodpanda Logistics’ delivery crew. The event commenced with the Ka-panda Rider Caravan, a session for Ka-pandas to have their accounts reviewed and updated, ensuring a streamlined experience for the upcoming year. The caravan also welcomed potential delivery riders, offering non-Ka-pandas a glimpse into joining the crew.
Pre-Show Attractions
The pre-show activities included entertaining and interactive booths from official event partners, offering food, beverages, and engaging activities. 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.
Evening of Revelry and Stage Activities
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.

It’s our way of saying thank you for their incredible dedication throughout the year."
