Panda Ice Cream started as a modest family enterprise in 1995 and was introduced commercially in Dumaguete City early in 1996.  It was managed by Royani S. Dy, daughter of old-timer Filipino-Chinese businessman Robert Dy.  Panda is an all-natural fresh fruits ice cream, is low in fat and sugar, has no preservatives, and uses only skimmed milk.  This delicious ice cream does not shrink when it melts but remains firm.

In an amazingly short time, the firm was able to establish a name in the Dumaguete City market and was able to compete with the other more established brands.  It has now expanded its operations with the opening of another factory in Cebu.

Despite the existence of other brands in the market Panda Ice Cream was quickly embraced by the market due to its distinctive fruit flavor which comes from using real fresh fruits bought directly from farmers and not fruit juices or purees. These unique qualities that are distinct to Panda Ice Cream are possible due to the year round abundant supply of fresh fruits in Negros Oriental, and the factory’s daily production which ensures the availability of the freshest ice cream.

Panda’s products are available in a variety of choices.  With more than 14 ice cream flavors to choose from in gallons, half gallons, liters, pints, cups and bars,  the company  also produces the widely popular Ice Cream Cake which comes in a loaf size, or in sliced 3-in-1 packs.  It also offers the party box which can contain approximately 4 gallons of ice cream ideal for parties and gatherings. Panda gradually invaded the market outside Negros Oriental in late 1996 to Bacolod and Cebu.  During special occasions, products are also shipped in bulk to Manila, Bohol, Cagayan de Oro, Camiguin Island, Ormoc, Tacloban, Iloilo, Dipolog, Ozamiz, and Davao as per request.

In  April 2001, Panda Ice Cream Haus was put up in Dumaguete City serving ice cream concoctions, ice cream shakes, desserts, snacks, and other delicacies to the public.  It is also proud to serve its specialty which is the Panda Fried Ice Cream — a scoop of ice cream deep fried and served immediately.  It also serves Panda Soya Juice, which contains no preservatives and is available in 325 ml or 1 liter bottles in plain, mocha, chocolate, melon, pandan, and strawberry flavors.  Again, a one of a kind product the company is known for.

In June 2001, the company was awarded for Innovations in Food and Technology during the Cebu Business Month by the Cebu Chamber of Commerce.  At present, Panda Ice Cream Haus continues to develop and offer unique delicious products and is constantly a necessary destination in Dumaguete City.
