“Cooking and concocting something new is a way of life for food and beverage businesses, but the recent year proved to be a test of their character that was beyond their comfort zone. Through pandawards, we are able to highlight inspiring figures whose hard work, creativity, and positive attitude led to their success. Their stories are an inspiration for homegrown and start-up brands in fighting and winning in the business,” said Daniel Marogy, managing director of foodpanda Philippines.

With specific awards given to highlight entrepreneurial skills, the awards were given to the deserving food and drink purveyors via rap by G Who and Zyberus of Microphone Mechanics, a Filipino beatbox group, who surprised the winners by dressing up as riders out to pick up orders with the foodpanda partners.
