MANILA, Philippines | 24 September 2026 — GAC Philippines is driving the future of electric mobility to new heights with an exciting new value-adding program for its cutting-edge electric vehicle lineup.
From September 1 to December 31, 2026, customers who purchase and take delivery of a brand-new GAC AION UT or GAC AION V will receive a complimentary 7-kW Wall Charger alongside a Free Two-Year Preventive Maintenance Service (PMS) program.1
Each included 7kW unit operates at 32 Amps and is engineered to draw safely from standard Philippine residential 220V lines. This high-efficiency charger refuels a standard 60kWh EV battery from low to full in about 8 hours, making it ideal for overnight home charging, and features a connector type compatible with GAC AION vehicle ports.
Designed to elevate the overall EV ownership experience, this limited-time promotional offering ensures that transitioning to a sustainable, electric lifestyle is more seamless, rewarding, and worry-free than ever before. Under the program, PMS benefits may only be redeemed at the authorized service center of the selling dealer. Customers are required to present the PMS Voucher and vehicle records during each PMS visit, and services must be performed according to GAC's prescribed maintenance schedule and intervals. The free PMS program shall cover only the PMS labor and parts specifically prescribed under standard maintenance.
"We are thrilled to introduce this special program to our Filipino customers," shared GAC Philippines President Calvin Cheng. “We want to make EV ownership as convenient and worry-free as possible for our Filipino customers. Offering a free wall charger and two years of free PMS with the AION UT and AION V is also our way of thanking them for the strong support they have shown for both models.”
With manufacturing expertise shaped by over two decades of collaboration with Toyota and Honda, and growing strength in electrification and intelligent mobility, GAC brings together proven craftsmanship and next-generation technology—Where Craft Meets Technology.
GAC Philippines supports its owners through a nationwide network of 30 dealerships, a dedicated parts warehouse, two years of free roadside assistance, and tailored warranty coverage. ICE models (EMZOOM and All-New GN6) include a 5-year or 150,000 km warranty, whichever comes first. EV models (HYPTEC HT, AION UT, and AION V) carry an 8-year or 160,000 km basic warranty, along with an 8-year or 200,000 km plan for the traction battery and electric drive, applicable up to the specified milestone. PHEV and HEV models (GS4 Max HEV, E8 HEV, GN8 PHEV, and GS8 HEV) offer a 5-year or 150,000 km basic warranty, complemented by an 8-year or 150,000 km policy covering the power battery, driving motor, and motor control unit.

A partnership that combines everyday convenience with easier, more rewarding banking
Food delivery has become part of the daily routine for many Filipinos. On foodpanda Philippines, orders peak at around 11 a.m. for lunch and 6 p.m. for dinner, while Saturday is the busiest day. From workday meals to weekend orders and late-night cravings, customers now turn to delivery throughout the day.
The opportunity also extends beyond the usual lunch and dinner rush. Between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m., burgers account for 25.3% of foodpanda’s midnight deliveries, showing how delivery continues to meet customer needs even after regular meal hours.
From quick meals to late-night cravings, customers can earn up to 10% cashback on foodpanda purchases with the EastWest foodpanda Visa credit card.
Responding to this shift, foodpanda and EastWest have partnered for the foodpanda Visa credit card, a product designed around how people order, shop, and pay today. The card brings together foodpanda’s everyday convenience with EastWest’s digital banking channels, giving customers a simpler way to apply for credit and earn cashback from transactions they already make regularly. The partnership also comes as digital payments gain ground on the platform. Online payments already account for 49% of foodpanda orders based on the reported data.
“Consumers today expect the digital services they use every day to be simple, convenient, and rewarding, whether they're ordering food, shopping online, or managing their finances,” said Alastair De Lara, Head of Unsecured Lending. “Our partnership with foodpanda responds to a clear shift in how Filipinos manage their daily needs and spending. By offering useful rewards on everyday spending and a fully digital application process through ESTA and EasyWay, we can give customers more value from the purchases already part of their routine.”
Turning everyday spending into everyday rewards
At the heart of the partnership is a simple idea: with customers paying closer attention to value, cashback and instant savings offer a clear benefit on purchases they already make regularly.
Cardholders can earn up to 10% cashback on foodpanda purchases, making meals, grocery deliveries, and everyday essentials even more rewarding. Beyond foodpanda, users can also earn 1% cashback on international purchases and 0.3% cashback on everyday spending categories such as groceries, fuel, transportation, and shopping.
Cashback made simple with PandaPay
Instead of tracking points or waiting for redemption periods, cashback is automatically credited to the PandaPay wallet every week.
Customers can view and use their cashback on future foodpanda transactions. This is especially relevant for customers who order several times a month. Since the cashback goes straight to PandaPay every week, they can use it on a future order without having to convert points or wait for a redemption period.
More perks, less hassle
Beyond cashback, cardholders receive a complimentary six-month PandaPro subscription, which gives them access to exclusive deals, discounts, and delivery perks across the platform. The annual membership fee is also waived for the first year. Customers can apply digitally through EastWest’s ESTA chatbot or the EasyWay app for a faster and more convenient application process.
Built for the way Filipinos live today
As digital-first lifestyles continue to shape how Filipinos eat, shop, and manage their finances, consumers are looking for everyday solutions that are simple, connected, and rewarding. The foodpanda and EastWest partnership responds to this need by bringing together food delivery, digital payments, rewards, and easier banking in one seamless experience.
Through this partnership, customers can get more value from the purchases they already make every day.
