This year’s Pau-tastic Party ng Taon spanned major Philippine cities, reaching more Ka-panda riders and their local communities than ever before!
Pampanga, Philippines — The ‘Pau-tastic Party ng Taon’ reached its grand destination on December 14, as foodpanda Logistics officially wrapped up its nationwide year-end roadtrip in Pampanga. Maintaining the same level of excitement and generosity that characterized its previous stops, the final leg drew hundreds of enthusiastic Ka-panda riders.
“This celebration is a tribute to your hard work, loyalty, and dedication to the brand. The patience you show every day deserves to be seen and appreciated—and tonight is about giving that recognition.”
A Closing Night Filled with Cheers and Big Wins
Hosts Tanya Chinita and Terry Gian, together with Pampanga DJ Alex of RW 95.1 FM, kicked off the celebration by opening the program with the interactive game Role-Tanong, keeping the energy high through lively banter and engaging onstage moments. The momentum continued as performances by Maui Bordador, Bert Symoun, Dreycruz, and Lucas Garcia filled the venue with crowd-favorite OPM tracks, keeping riders energized throughout the night.
This was followed by the much-anticipated PauPau Panda Game, a lively Hep Hep Hooray–inspired activity that instantly energized the crowd. The winner earned an exclusive chance to advance to the crowd-favorite Pera o Panda Bag.
Mark “Mak” Danganan, a Ka-panda rider, father of six, and entrepreneur, emerged victorious in the Pera o Panda Bag, taking home a total of PHP 110,000 in cash, which he plans to use to add capital to his businesses and support his children’s education.
The excitement continued with the grand raffle, supported by partners immuni+, Motivo, Transcycle, and SeaOil. Multiple Ka-panda riders took home cash prizes and brand-new motorcycles, including PHP 100,000 won by Jowell Red June, a Ka-panda biker from Santa Rita, Pampanga.
Standout Ka-pandas and Stories That Matter
Beyond the prizes, the night also highlighted Ka-pandas whose stories stood out, including Charles Darwin Frasco, a 20-year-old working student who was later called onstage during one of the performances. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Physical Education, he has been a Ka-panda rider for two years, inspired to sign up online by a cousin who was already part of the Ka-panda community. Frasco shared how foodpanda Logistics has helped him support his studies while maintaining a flexible schedule—allowing him to adjust to sudden changes in school and family commitments.
A Memorable Send-Off to the Year
The night reached a nostalgic high as Salbakuta took the stage, performing well-loved tracks bringing the Pau-tastic Party ng Taon to a memorable finish.
“Hosting the year-end party here in Pampanga meant a lot to us because it allowed more Kapampangan Ka-pandas to attend,” said Marc Maglaqui, rider representative of Pampanga. “It really brought the community together and gave many Ka-panda riders the chance to be recognized, celebrate, and take home prizes after a year of hard work.”
With the final leg completed, the nationwide celebration comes to a close—leaving behind stories of big wins, personal milestones, and strengthened bonds across all the cities it visited. The Pau-tastic Party ng Taon stands as a gesture of gratitude for the riders who power foodpanda Logistics every day, especially during the season when their dedication matters most.
