foodpanda Philippines expands its Panda-Malasakit project, offering free Metro Manila jeepney rides for commuters and doubling tips for Ka-panda riders.
“To ease rising daily costs for Filipinos, foodpanda Philippines has expanded its Panda-Malasakit project with two high-impact community initiatives. From May 29 to June 11, designated pink foodpanda jeepneys are providing a “Libreng Sakay” (free ride) service along major peak-hour Metro Manila routes, complete with onboard surprises and driver fuel support. Additionally, a special Double Tipping campaign matched 100% of customer app tips to directly boost Ka-panda delivery rider earnings, embodying the true spirit of bayanihan on the road.”
foodpanda PH Expands Community Support Efforts with Libreng Sakay and Double Tipping
The Panda-Malasakit Project continues to deliver practical, everyday support to commuters, riders, and communities
PRESS RELEASE
As commuting costs and everyday expenses continue to weigh heavily on Filipinos, foodpanda Philippines is stepping up its community support through its flagship Panda-Malasakit Project. The online food and grocery platform launched a dual-impact campaign featuring a Libreng Sakay (free ride) program for commuters and a Double Tipping initiative to boost delivery rider earnings.
From May 29 to June 11, four pink foodpanda jeepneys will hit key Metro Manila routes to offer free rides during peak hours, helping commuters ease daily transportation costs and making everyday travel a little lighter and more convenient. Available to the public, the Libreng Sakay jeepneys will operate along participating routes, including SM Fairview to Cubao, Monumento to Baclaran, and Alabang to Mall of Asia.
Passengers can also look forward to surprise treats and special onboard moments throughout the activation, turning ordinary commutes into more uplifting and rewarding experiences. Beyond supporting commuters, the initiative also extends assistance to participating jeepney drivers through fuel and grocery support.
Following its successful Labor Day campaign, foodpanda brought back its Double Tipping program from May 29 to 31 to further support its delivery partners. By matching every customer tip made through the app, the initiative doubled the extra earnings of Ka-panda riders, with 100% of the funds credited directly to them.
These efforts are part of the Panda-Malasakit Project, foodpanda’s purpose-driven campaign focused on providing meaningful support across its community during a time of rising costs and everyday challenges. Built on the idea that every order can create impact, the campaign combines matched tipping, on-ground activations, and community-driven initiatives that help make life feel a little more delicious where it matters most.
“Our riders and everyday commuters are at the heart of the communities we serve,” said Patricia Jacinto, growth and marketing director of foodpanda Philippines. “Through Libreng Sakay and Double Tipping, we are bringing together customers, riders, and partners in the spirit of bayanihan—creating shared moments of support that help make everyday journeys a little easier. In the face of rising costs, these initiatives remind us that moving together as a community creates greater impact.”
As foodpanda continues to expand the Panda-Malasakit Project, the company remains committed to creating initiatives that respond to real everyday needs while strengthening support for the communities it serves.
