Delivery service provider foodpanda logistics is stepping up to support its delivery partners affected by Super Typhoon Carina with a donation of more than Php 5 million worth of food and essentials.
This aid, part of the Panda Pag-asa program, aims to benefit around 10,000 of their Ka-panda delivery partners in severely affected areas such as Metro Manila, Cainta, South Metro Manila, Baguio, and Bulacan.
As part of the initiative, their pandaPatrol: Hub on Wheels, originally used to serve as a rider support hub, will roam through these target cities, distributing essential relief items such as water, rice and canned goods. “Our Ka-pandas are always in our minds and hearts. We strive to act quickly and effectively to provide relief to our heroes who are always ready to serve customers,” foopanda logistics Rider Experience Lead Ron Sanders stated.
One remarkable story comes from Ronnel Quinto, a dedicated foodpanda logistics delivery partner who left his motorcycle in a safe place and waded through the knee-deep flood in Makati to deliver an order on foot. In a heartfelt video that he shared, Ronnel expressed his determination, “Ide-deliver natin to kahit anong mangyari. Kailangan ihatid to dahil lalamig na.”
Similarly, another “Ka-panda” delivery partner bravely navigated the floodwaters in Olongapo to ensure that an order reached its destination. Mark Joseph Quirabo recounted, “Kawawa din po mga customer lalo kahapon, bahang baha po dito sa Gapo kaya tyinaga ko na ring i-deliver. Gusto ko rin po kumuha ng session dahil kailangan magsumikap araw-araw para sa pamilya.”
“We understand that some orders might take longer, resulting in extended wait times for our Ka-pandas compared to usual. To compensate for this, we’ve initiated a timely earnings boost for delivery partners handling delayed orders,” said Sanders.Beyond food deliveries, grocery orders have become essential for many households stocking up during the storm.
