foodpanda deploys free vending machines, charging stations, and quick rest stops for holiday commuters in the Metro

Commuting in the city is already tough. Add the holiday rush, and it’s practically impossible to get around. But imagine getting an unexpected helping hand right when you need it most.

This holiday season, foodpanda Philippines is playing Santa Claus for weary commuters with pink “We Gotchu Stops” across the city. If you’ve been out and about lately, you might have spotted some bright, super-helpful installations popping up in key commuter hubs around Metro Manila.

foodpanda has installed special vending machines that are giving away commuter must-haves for free. Stocked with essentials like drinking water, facial tissue, sanitizer, hand fans, and other quick-help essentials, this is a truly practical giveaway and an instant mood booster, amidst long queues and crowded terminals.

The foodpanda vending machine recently popped up in One Ayala Terminal, a nonstop commuter hub in the city’s financial district. More stops are coming soon, including a setup at the World Trade Center for the World Bazaar.

At PITX, another massive commuter hub, foodpanda has put up a free charging station, ensuring that travelers stay connected to their loved ones, or simply entertain themselves during those long terminal waits.

For a quick pause from the holiday rush, there are also these cute Pau-Pau benches in select malls and busy holiday spots in the city such as Star City, Market Market, Circuit Makati, Greenfield Central Park, and more.

These small but thoughtful installations offer comfort exactly where holiday stress tends to build. Simple as they are, these touches offer real relief—small reminders that someone thought about what people might need in the middle of the rush.

Each pink stop quietly reassures anyone passing by that foodpanda sees them, understands the chaos of the season, and most of all—they gotchu.
