The most-awaited season in the Philippines is here, and foodpanda puts the spotlight on how to help the punong-abala with a seamless Christmas get-together.
From planning the menu, watching the budget, preparing the food, accommodating last-minute guests, and other things in-between, the punong-abala is making sure that everything is ready and perfect for the holiday season get-together(s).
With that in mind, foodpanda wants to make the punong-abala less stressed when in comes to planning through its Make Christmas Delicious campaign.
For many Filipinos, the handaan is an essential part of Christmas. From familiar family favorites to everyone's must-have dishes, food plays a big role in bringing people together. But preparing for the celebration can take time and effort, especially when there's a long list of things to take care of.
Via foodpanda's Make Christmas Delicious, it makes planning easier and convenient for the punong-abala.
“Christmas is one of the most anticipated celebrations for Filipinos, but for the people who take on the responsibility of bringing everyone together, it can also mean hours of preparation and making sure everyone is taken care of. Through Make Christmas Delicious, we want our home hosts to feel seen and appreciated, and give them more opportunities to enjoy the celebration, too. Whether it's having groceries delivered or ordering food for the handaan, foodpanda is here to lend a hand so the host can finally take their seat at the table,” said Patricia Jacinto, Growth & Marketing Director at foodpanda Philippines.
A little more room for something delicious
To make hosting a little easier, foodpanda is also offering
customers ₱125 OFF on eligible orders using the code PASKONA, valid with
varying minimum spends from selected restaurants.
It is a simple way to add something more to the spread—whether that means another family favorite, an extra dish for unexpected guests, or the food the host would rather order than spend more time preparing.
The goal isn't to take the punong-abala out of the
preparations, but to make sure they don't miss out on the celebration. After
all, the person making sure everyone has a place at the table deserves one,
too.
Adding a sweet touch to the gathering, Red Ribbon Bakeshop
supported the program by sharing its well-loved Chocolate Dedication Cakes with
the participants of the event. The cake also serves as the inspiration for Red
Ribbon’s upcoming Holiday Chocolate Dedication Cake, a festive seasonal
variation launching on November 11 and available on foodpanda.
Spreading Holiday Cheer Beyond the Dinner Table
The spirit of appreciation extends beyond the home and into
the communities that make the holidays possible.
This season, foodpanda is recognizing its delivery partners
through Pau-nalo Holidays, a series of festive activities that include digital
games and trivia, on-ground pop-up treats during shifts, wish-granting
initiatives under Pau-nalo Spotlight, and major prizes through raffle.
foodpanda is also bringing holiday cheer to local
communities across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao through partnerships with
national agencies, LGUs, local merchants, the private sector and the academe.
These efforts include medical missions, community feeding programs, in-kind
donation drives, and employee-led volunteer days.
The people who make Christmas special deserve to experience
its magic, too. This season, foodpanda is helping make that possible, one
shared responsibility, thoughtful gesture, and delicious celebration at a time.
