Delivering the spirit of love to their Ka-pandas, foodpanda logistics once again granted the dream wedding wishes of their delivery partners!

Last year, three Ka-pandas and their longtime partners experienced wedding celebrations courtesy of foodpanda logistics. This year, the love train accelerated as 14 lucky delivery partners nationwide 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.


Discover the romantic journeys of some 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 high school 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 got 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, etc. 
“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."

It's never too late to start taking good care of your eyes especially if you're vision is steadily degrading. Good news because @cebudocgroup recently introduced the latest modality of Laser Eye Surgery in Visayas and Mindanao called Small Incision Lenticule Extraction in short for (SMILE).


SMILE is a state of the art laser vision correction option and the most advanced in laser vision correction since Laser Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK). ✨

SMILE is an advanced technique and latest development in refractive laser treatments. As laser vision technology continues to expand, CebuDoc group continues to be the leader in bringing these options to the Filipinos.



SMILE is a gentle and rapid comfortable laser vision correction procedure which is a minimally invasive procedure that only lasts for 30 seconds. This amount of time varies for each patient.

After procedure, patients can resume most normal activities within a day, including driving, showering, applying makeup, and going to work. The visual outcome is highly predictable.
