Patients and hospital frontliners received gestures of care from volunteers, riders, and Pau-Pau as foodpanda brought festive cheer to hundreds in Cebu City, Philippines, through its “Pasko Na, We Gotchu: Christmas PANDAriwang” outreach, highlighting the brand’s commitment to providing comfort, support, and holiday joy.

Cebu City Medical Center, a public hospital serving a large community and recently affected by calamities, became one of the key sites for foodpanda’s holiday campaign highlighting public–private cooperation and community care. Volunteers visited various wards to share fruit baskets, while partner riders delivered hundreds of ready-to-eat meals to patients and staff; they also prepared plush toys to bring joy to younger patients, turning an ordinary hospital day into a heartwarming experience. The initiative further recognized the dedication of doctors, nurses, and security personnel by providing them with warm meals as a sincere gesture of appreciation during one of the busiest times of the year.

Enhancing the festive spirit, foodpanda’s well-loved Pau-Pau accompanied the volunteers on a room-to-room tour, meeting patients, staff, and their families. Pau-Pau’s visit, together with the team’s warm interactions, brought visible smiles and a refreshed feeling of holiday cheer throughout the medical center.

“Our mission has always been rooted in caring for communities,” said Patricia Jacinto, Director for Growth and Marketing at foodpanda Philippines. “With PANDAriwang, we aim to provide comfort and create joyful moments during the holiday season. Our work goes beyond delivering food—we deliver care, particularly when it is needed the most.”

PaskoNa WeGotchu: Christmas PANDAriwang continues foodpanda’s tradition of spreading care and kindness during the holidays, staying faithful to its core promise of being present when people need support the most. The Cebu outreach is one of several initiatives, with additional foodpanda teams scheduled to visit and assist other communities throughout the holiday season.
