During the town’s fiesta celebration in Silang, Cavite, foodpanda logistics delivery partners showcased an inspiring sense of camaraderie by participating in a motorcade to support local foodpanda vendors.
Under the leadership of Ka-panda Rhy Reyes, the delivery partners actively engaged in the vibrant festivities. They reached out to partner vendors and decorated their motorcycles with posters from the participating stores, contributing to the promotion of local businesses.
“We spoke to the partner vendors and asked if they could hang their store banners on our motorcycles so that more Silangueños would be encouraged to order from them through foodpanda,” Reyes explained.
The fiesta of Silang celebrates the feast of Our Lady of Candelaria every year with a grand parade, street dancing, and various festivities. It’s renowned for the strong solidarity among the townspeople, a spirit mirrored by the close bond between Ka-pandas and local partner vendors.
“The camaraderie between Ka-pandas and partner vendors here in Silang is truly remarkable. We even have a group chat with them to address order concerns more efficiently,” Reyes added.
Reyes stressed the importance of such partnerships, underscoring their positive influence on customer service for users of the app. “We are all here to earn a living. It’s easier when there’s a good relationship and cooperation because customers will see that the service is excellent.”
He also mentioned that Silang Mayor Kevin Amutan Anarna endorsed their involvement in the fiesta celebration. “Mayor is really supportive of us delivery partners, so he was pleased to see us participating in the motorcade.”
