It was a night of celebration, collaboration, and plenty of pink as foodpanda brought the CRAVE Partner Summit & Awards 2025 to Acacia Hotel Davao on September 10.
With CRAVE- short for Celebrating Relationships & Advancing Valuable Experiences, the spotlight turned to the workforce behind the kitchens, cafés, and kiosks who keep Davao craving. Over 150 guests, from local entrepreneurs to brand partners, gathered for what was dubbed The Pink Gala.
The evening set the stage with live music, cultural performances, and interactive activities before rolling out the pink carpet for the much-awaited CRAVE Awards, honoring partners whose dedication and performance have fueled foodpanda’s success in the south.
