neighborhood. Spread happiness this season through scrumptious and nutritious
food.

Digital
gifts
No gift list, no
problem. Digital presents or e-gifts are great gift ideas that will surely save
holiday shoppers from the stress of searching for tangible presents. Ideas may
range from online shopping vouchers, access to streaming platforms, or even
greeting cards.
With limitless
options online, these gifts are also easier to send to your long-distance
friends and loved ones.
·
Reusable
items

foodpanda logistics is set to host its highly anticipated 'Pau-tastic Event ng Taon' for the second consecutive year, promising a grand nationwide year-end celebration dedicated to their Ka-panda delivery partners.
Scheduled for December 20 at the Globe Circuit Events Ground in Circuit Makati, this event aims to commemorate the hard work and dedication of these modern-day road heroes while fostering a sense of community and appreciation.
With over 2,000 delivery partners expected to attend, this year's festivities promise an array of delights, designed as a gesture of gratitude and a testament to the significant contributions of the delivery partners in ensuring efficient and timely service to customers.
According to foodpanda logistics Operations Manager Ruben Mariano, what sets this year's celebration apart is the special inclusion of Ka-pandas from provinces across North Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. “The event embodies our heartfelt appreciation for the contributions of our delivery partners nationwide. We want to celebrate and thank all our delivery partners, no matter where they're from, so we're inviting Ka-pandas from provinces too, not just Metro Manila.”
The 'Pau-tastic Event ng Taon' Year 2 promises a day brimming with engaging activities such as raffles, games, and specially curated music to entertain and honor the delivery partners.
"We've lined up popular and trendy games we know our Ka-pandas will love! We want them to have a blast while grabbing awesome prizes,” Mariano shared.
Adding to the excitement, local artists and bands are set to grace the stage for an electrifying concert experience for attendees. “There will be amazing performances lined up from local artists like Salbakuta, ALLMO$T, Yeng Constantino, 6 Cycle Mind, and Rico Blanco.”
foodpanda logistics has also joined hands with government partners like Pag-IBIG and PhilHealth, and brand sponsors such as PepsiCo, Selecta, New World Diagnostics (NWD), Motivo, Caltex, POSH, JUANLIFE, Jollibee Food Corporation, and The Generics Pharmacy (TGP), to make this celebration possible.
“We want this to be an event to remember. This year-end party serves as a testament to our commitment to building a supportive community among our delivery partners and showcasing the spirit of gratitude during this festive season.”
The 'Pau-tastic Event ng Taon' Year 2 will be streamed live via foodpanda riders' official Facebook page and pandaridersPH's official TikTok account, allowing a broader audience to join in and witness the festivities.
Supporting Ka-pandas nationwide
Throughout the year, the pandaPatrol: Hub on Wheels ventured into various cities and provinces nationwide, organizing engaging games and activities while serving as a support hub for delivery partners. At the upcoming event, the pink-colored bus will also be present to serve as a redemption booth where Ka-pandas can redeem foodpanda logistics merchandise. A Rider Support Express booth will also be at the event, further showcasing the company's commitment to supporting its delivery partners.
"We're here for our Ka-pandas every step of the way. From fun events like the year-end party where they bond with fellow delivery partners, to our panda Patrol Hub assisting their concerns all year-round. It's about continuously supporting them and creating an inclusive environment where their voices are heard, their needs are met, and their hardwork is appreciated," Mariano assured.

Embark on a festive journey of flavor as we explore a delightful array of nourishing drinks, adding a touch of sophistication to your holiday celebrations
.jpg)
The holidays are a time for joy and delicious treats, often accompanied by usual holiday beverage choices like alcohol and sugary drinks. While it's tempting to indulge during festive gatherings, excessive drinking can impact your well-being. However, you don't have to compromise on enjoying the season with your loved ones. This year, consider adding a healthy twist to your celebrations by making your own festive barley drinks using Santé Barley with Stevia.
These nourishing drinks, recommended by Santé, one of the fastest-growing distribution and direct-selling companies globally dedicated to helping people live better lives, provide a worry-free way to savor and cherish every moment with your loved ones.
Explore a variety of healthier options. While the holiday season often involves toasting with alcoholic beverages, there's a world of non-alcoholic options that are just as festive and enjoyable. Consider indulging in mocktails, sparkling water with fruit infusions, or virgin versions of your favorite cocktails.
One recipe you can make is a sparkling barley drink inspired by a mojito, containing sparkling water, Santé Barley Powder with Stevia, lemon slices, and mint leaves. Simply combine a scoop of Santé Barley Powder with Stevia with sparkling water and add fresh citrus slices and a few mint leaves for a burst of flavor.
Create a drink with natural and fresh ingredients. When selecting ingredients for your holiday beverages, choose fresh and natural options. Freshly squeezed juices, real fruit purees, and herbs can elevate your drinks without the need for added sugars or artificial flavorings. This not only enhances the taste but also ensures that your beverages contribute positively to your overall well-being.
One recipe you can make is creating a yogurt drink with mixed berries and Santé Barley Powder with Stevia. You can blend Santé Barley Powder with Stevia, mixed berries, and a dollop of Greek yogurt until smooth. Sweeten with honey if desired. Pour into festive glasses and garnish with additional berries for a delightful and nutrient-packed treat.
The health benefits of Santé Barley Powder with Stevia are the perfect you can give to yourself this holiday season. Certified organic barley grass by BioGro, it contains dietary fiber that aids in digestive health. Rich in Vitamins A, B, and C, along with essential nutrients such as potassium, iron, zinc, and more, a single scoop in a glass of water can boost your immune system and promote regular bowel movements. This festive season, enjoy the added health benefits while toasting to joyous moments.
"In Santé, we believe that the joy of celebrations can be complemented by mindful beverage choices. Our focus is on providing options that enhance the festive spirit while aligning with individuals' wellness goals," said Joey Marcelo, Chief Executive Officer of Santé.
With its mission to help people live better lives, Santé promotes, produces, and distributes natural health and wellness products and services. Santé consistently delivers top-quality products to its loyal customers globally.
