When the storm hits, some riders don’t seek shelter — they roll out to save lives.
In this episode of Tunay Na Rider, we sit down with two remarkable guests: both riders and firemen who serve as frontliners in emergency response.

As Super Typhoon Uwan batterwd the Philippines, they rode through danger to bring help where it was needed most.

We will talk about what it takes to be a rwsponder on two wheels, what ordinary riders can do during calamities, and how to acquire the skills and mindset needed to serve safely and effectively.

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a daily commuter, this episode is a reminder that the spirit of Tunay na Rider is also the spirit of bayanihan.

This week on Tunay Na Rider, we sit down with Ms. Mikes Duque — a 23-year-old rider and digital creator who’s making waves both on and off the saddle.

We’ll talk about how her passion for two wheels began, how she built her online presence, and how she plans to balance her dreams in both riding and medicine.

An inspiring episode for riders chasing their passions on every path in life.

Is it about going extreme; mud, cliffs, and crashes, or can it be chill, cheap, and still just as meaningful?

We’ll talk about:
• Exploration vs Extreme Riding
• Expensive vs Budget Adventures

How much do Filipino riders really pay the government just for the right to ride? Whether you own a scooter or a big bike, every rider shoulders hidden costs—excise and VAT baked into the SRP, yearly MVUC, registration, CTPL insurance, emission tests, and even VAT on helmets and gear.

In this episode, we break down the true “Rider’s Bill”: how much small bike riders pay vs. big bike riders, why the gap is huge, and how corruption—kotong, fixers, and endless backlogs—makes us pay even more.

We ask: with billions collected from riders every year, why are roads still full of potholes, plates always delayed, and enforcers still shaking down commuters? Where does the money actually go?

This is the untold cost of two wheels in the Philippines—resibo at corruption included.
