foodpanda’s FOODTRIP voucher offers 50% cashback up to ₱500 on minimum orders of ₱399 for QC’s big day.

This August 19, QCitizens will celebrate ‘Quezon City Day’, marking the 146th birthday of former President Manuel Luis Quezon. As the city pays heartfelt tribute to his remarkable contributions to the country, his enduring spirit of service and love for the nation continue to inspire both present and future generations.

More than a commemoration, it is also a special non-working holiday for the city. It gives QC-based workers, students, and residents a well-earned midweek break and a chance to reclaim the day, slow down, and enjoy the comfort of home.

Whether you choose to pay homage to history by visiting city landmarks, spend the day in quiet rest, or fill it with joyful moments with family and friends, QC Day offers a chance to savor the simple joys that busy schedules often push aside—sleeping in without alarms, catching up on shows you’ve left on pause, enjoying a warm cup of coffee without rushing, or gathering around a meal that brings everyone together. 

With its mix of flavors, Quezon City is a melting pot ready to satisfy your cravings. Whether you’re staying in, sharing a meal with friends, or finally indulging in that long-postponed treat, the city’s kitchens are just a few taps away on foodpanda. Only this August 19, turn those cravings into big savings with an upsized FOODTRIP voucher—enjoy 50% cashback (up to ₱500) on a ₱399 minimum order while redemptions last.

Here’s how you can make the most of your QC Day, no matter your vibe:

1. The Series Marathoner

Your only QC Day mission: stay in, grab the remote, and press play. Whether you’re catching a documentary about Quezon’s life or finally committing to that drama you’ve been saving, binge-watching needs the right fuel.

Pair your watchlist with dishes you can eat without missing a scene: 24 Chicken’s flavorful Korean-style wings, BonChon’s crunchy-sweet soy chicken, or Ray’s Hot Chicken’s fiery bites. All addictive, all delivery-friendly—so you can keep the episodes rolling without a pause for cooking.

2. The Rainy Day Lounger

If QC Day greets you with a cool breeze or gentle drizzle, it’s practically an invitation to stay at home and get cozy. The best companion? A warm, hearty meal that feels like a hug in a bowl.

Slurp your way through Ramen Nagi’s rich tonkotsu broth, enjoy 24-7 Eats’ homey lugaw, or take a spicy trip with Souper Hot Malatang’s flavor-packed soup. The steam, the warmth, the comfort—it’s all the excuse you need to linger indoors.

3. The Dessert-First Believer

Some people say dessert should come last. You say dessert is the celebration. QC Day is perfect for unapologetic indulgence: start the morning with Milky Cakes & Sweets’ decadent slices, take a donut break with J.CO’s pillowy treats, and cap the evening with Caramia’s creamy gelato cakes.

4. The Barkada Base Camp Host

After countless group chats, “when’s” and “see you soonest,” the squad finally agreed to meet—and your place is where it’s all happening. With stories to swap and laughter to share, you’ll need food that’s easy to serve and impossible to resist.

Stack the table with Yellow Cab’s cheesy pizzas, 3M Pizza’s nostalgic thin-crust goodness, or Angel’s Pizza’s loaded flavors that keep everyone reaching for “just one more” slice. With delivery handling the heavy lifting, you can focus on being the host with the most—no dishes, no stress.

5. The “Finally My Day” Indulger

Busy weeks often mean postponing that “special meal” you’ve been craving. QC Day is your sign to go for it. Whether you’ve been craving Burgoo’s sizzling steaks, Tender Bob’s juicy cuts, or Kanzen Sushi Roll’s fresh, hand-rolled sushi, this is the day to treat yourself. 

6. The All-Day Sipper

Maybe for you, QC Day is all about taking it slow: a comfy seat, a good playlist, and a drink you’ll happily stretch out for hours. Whether you’re doomscrolling or savoring every sip between your little to-dos, you’ve got good company: Gong Cha’s classic milk teas, Serenitea’s creamy blends, and Tiger Sugar’s brown sugar boba are just a tap away.

So go ahead, celebrate your way, feed your cravings, and let great food and exciting deals come straight to you. No traffic, no cooking, no clean-up—just a day well enjoyed.
