One of my fondest memories growing up was going on ships to visit relatives in Manila. Choosing to sail instead of flying was an affordable way to travel and for me, it was a lot more fun.

I loved the cruise experience and the hotel-like amenities in boats and the travelling bit felt like it was part of the vacation. We had room service, there were guest lounges and viewing decks where sometimes you would even be lucky enough to spot dolphins racing the ship.

Travelling in general has become more expensive through the years and  I'm looking into showing my daughters more parts of the Philippines. Going on a chartered ship seems like a staycation bonus to me right now.

Granting the dream wedding wishes of their delivery partners, foodpanda delivers the spirit of love to spirit of love to their Ka-panda partners! 

Just last year, three Ka-pandas and their longtime partners experienced wedding celebrations courtesy of foodpanda logistics. The love train went full steam ahead this year as 14 lucky delivery partners across the country were selected to celebrate a grand wedding.

“A wedding organized by us, for our delivery partners, is an unforgettable milestone in their lives that they will forever cherish,” said Ron Sanders, foodpanda logistics Philippines Rider Experience Lead.

Here just some of the romantic journeys of these Ka-pandas, who celebrated their unions with their better halves during the most romantic time of the year – the love month.

Love delivered through thick and thin

Ka-panda Glen Oton shares his journey of celebrating love with his partner. From overcoming financial struggles to cherishing moments of togetherness, they braved life's storms hand in hand.  “May mga hindi man pagkakaintindihan, pinipili pa rin naming ayusin sa dulo,” Glen revealed. 

“Malaking tulong ang Kasalang Ka-panda sa pagkamit namin ng aming pangarap na ikasal sa isa’t isa.” In a beautiful ceremony, Glen and his partner stood before their closest friends and family, sharing heartfelt vows of love and commitment to each other.

Through it all 

From highschool sweethearts to building a family together, Albert Cabañelez has been with his partner since 2004, and they have been blessed with three children. But, one simple wish remained constant – to tie the knot. 

“Hindi namin hangad ang isang mala-fairy tale na kasalan kasi sobrang sapat na sa akin ang mai-kasal sa aking minamahal at masaya kami na naibigay ito ni foodpanda logistics sa amin,” Albert shared.

Never too late

Rodrigo Goyon Bongais Jr, a former tricycle driver, has shared 15 years of his life with his partner and two lovely daughters. Yet, even as their lives seem complete, there is still a missing chapter they long to unfold – saying “I do”. “Kumpleto na ang buhay namin, kasal na lang talaga ang kulang. Kaya hiling ko lang sana na maikasal kaming magpartner bago ako tumungtong ng 50,” Rodrigo mentioned. 

Thanks to foodpanda logistics’ Kasalang Ka-panda initiative, a promise turned to a reality. “Sobrang natuwa ang partner ko dahil natupad na ang pangarap naming ito kasi sobrang tagal ko na talagang pinangako sa kanya na pakakasalan ko siya,” he added. 

In addition to the wedding festivities, foodpanda also showered its delivery partners with generous gifts and giveaways from sponsors, along with their adorable mascot, who played the role of "Ninong" Pau-Pau. 

Other Ka-pandas also had the opportunity to get a special Valentine's Kit to surprise their loved ones, using their hard-earned Bamboo Rewards. 

The Bamboo Rewards program, initiated by foodpanda logistics for its delivery partners, enables them to get in-app points for each completed delivery. These points can later be redeemed for various items, including vouchers, merchandise, electronics, vehicle accessories, and others. 

“We're happy that we got to celebrate Valentine's Day with our Ka-pandas in such a meaningful way, and we hope that they treasure these precious moments,” Sanders remarked. “Kasalang Ka-panda is just one example of cherishing their unique stories and how we show that we see them, we acknowledge their journeys, and we're always thinking ahead to make their experience special."
