Davao’s vibrant Kadayawan Festival recently received a delightful infusion of pink, courtesy of the online food and grocery platform, Foodpanda. This annual celebration, which marks its 38th year, is a tribute to nature’s bounties, cultural diversity, abundant harvests, and the serenity of life. It showcases the rich tapestry of the 11 tribes of Davao under the theme “Colors of Abundance, Vibrance of Diversity, Festival of Festivals.”
During the Kadayawan Festival, Foodpanda went all out to create exceptional experiences for its devoted app users and potential subscribers. They crafted surprises and engaging activities as part of their Kada-kada Like A Panda initiative, adding to the festive spirit.
Patricia Jacinto, Foodpanda Philippines Growth & Marketing Director, couldn’t contain her excitement about the company’s involvement in this week-long extravaganza. She shared, “Foodpanda was thrilled to immerse ourselves in the lively Kadayawan festivities. Through our active participation in various Kadayawan events, we aimed to bring extra joy and a bounty of prizes to both the Dabawenyos and our loyal app users.”
Foodpanda took center stage in several festival competitions, serving as a special judge in renowned events like Indak Indak, Hiyas ng Kadayawan, and Hudyaka sa Kadayawan. This active participation allowed Foodpanda to recognize and reward individuals and groups who exhibited exceptional performances, further cementing its connection with the community and the festival’s traditions.
Kicking off the festival with a generous spirit, Foodpanda joined forces with local favorite Mamastill Atbp. for the heartwarming “Paying It Forward Free Pastil” project. At the bustling Roxas Night Market, the beloved local delicacy, Pastil, was distributed to those who keep the night market alive—the hardworking vendors, vigilant police officers, dedicated special task force members, and tireless street sweepers.
Foodpanda’s presence at Kadayawan added an extra layer of festivity to an already vibrant celebration. Their engagement in local traditions, generous giveaways, and support for the festival’s competitions demonstrated their commitment to the Davao community. As Foodpanda continues to blend technology and tradition, it’s clear that their pink hue has left an indelible mark on Kadayawan, making it a festival to remember.
