Built for Today’s Digital Foodie

What happens when a top-tier bank, a global payment giant, and the Philippines' favorite food delivery platform collaborate? They create a card that doesn't just reward big purchases, but celebrates the small, essential joys.

“We built this card around what our customers love most: food, convenience, and crave-on-demand,” says Daniel Jaramillo, Managing Director of foodpanda Philippines. “It’s a payment option that rewards the simple joys you enjoy every day: your morning coffee, your comfort food, or even your spontaneous late-night cravings.”

This isn't just a food delivery card; it's a lifestyle card. While the partnership leverages foodpanda's deep connection with consumers, the card is powered by EastWest's banking innovation and Visa's global network, meaning you earn rewards on purchases everywhere—from your local sari-sari store to transactions abroad.

Instant Gratification, Instant Rewards

The true magic of this card lies in its rewards structure, which mirrors the instant-satisfaction culture of food delivery itself:

• 10% Cashback on All foodpanda Orders: You can earn up to $\text{Php 400}$ in cashback every month. Even after you hit the cap, you continue to earn 3% cashback on subsequent orders!

• Rewards Beyond the App: You also get 1% cashback on overseas transactions and 0.3% on other local purchases.

• The Game-Changer: Cashback is credited weekly directly to your pandapay wallet. This is a first in the local market, eliminating the long waiting periods of traditional rewards programs and giving you immediate access to use your rewards on your next order.

“The Bank continues to build financial solutions around real daily habits,” said Jerry Ngo, CEO of EastWest. “The EastWest foodpanda Visa Credit Card is another way we make banking easier, turning every meal into a moment of value.”

More Than Just a Card

Beyond the rewarding cashback, early cardholders are also treated to a free six-month pandapro subscription and no annual fee for the first year. This is a powerful statement: the partnership is committed to creating a seamless, value-driven experience from day one.

As digital payments continue to soar, financial products are evolving to become more personal and integrated into our daily lives. This ultimate foodie card redefines what a credit card can be—a companion that fits the way you live, spend, and crave.

Jeffrey Navarro, Visa Philippines Country Head, summarizes the synergy perfectly: “The power of Visa’s technology and global network enables fast, seamless, and secure payments that truly elevate food and dining experiences for Filipinos... tailored to Filipinos’ dynamic consumer needs and preferences.”

Now, every tap-to-pay transaction, every overseas trip, and, yes, every spontaneous midnight milk tea order, is not just an expense—it's an opportunity to earn, save, and enjoy more. The ultimate foodie flex has arrived, proving that rewarding yourself is now as simple as placing your next order.

Daughter Confirms Passing in Touching Statement

The statement reveals that it was Enrile's "heartfelt wish to take his final rest at home, with his family by his side," a wish his family was blessed to honor.

"It is with profound love and gratitude that my father, Juan Ponce Enrile, peacefully returned to his Creator on November 13, 2025, at 4:21 p.m., surrounded by our family in the comfort of our home," the post reads. "He dedicated much of his life to the service of the Filipino people."

Family Asks for Privacy, Public Viewing Details Forthcoming

The Enrile family is requesting a moment of privacy to grieve the loss of the patriarch, who dedicated much of his long life to public service.

"At this time, we humbly ask for the public’s understanding as our family takes a brief moment to grieve privately and honor his memory together in quiet and in peace," the statement continues.

The announcement assures the public that arrangements are being made for those who wish to pay their respects. "Details for public viewing will be shared once arrangements have been finalized, so that all who wish to pay their respects may have the opportunity to do so," Katrina Ponce Enrile wrote.
