Racing in the Philippines runs on passion, not paychecks. In this episode, Jacq Buncio, a PSBK racer who climbed the ranks from small bikes to the national stage, joins Ibba Bernardo and Buck Pago to talk about what it really takes to keep racing.

When her season took an unexpected turn, she had a choice to make: protect her racing or step away from it. Jacq opens up about that decision, joining a new team, and the fresh start that came with it. We also dig into what it costs, financially and personally, to chase a career on two wheels in the Philippines, and what it means to carry the Buncio name onto the track.

In this episode:

Her journey from small bikes to PSBK
Making a hard call during a difficult season
Joining a new team and starting over
The real cost of racing in the Philippines
What the Buncio racing legacy means to her

Every rider's done it, squeezing through traffic, cutting between cars, saving a few minutes on EDSA. But is it actually legal? This week we're launching a new series, Tunay Na Rider vs. The Law, and we're starting with the most argued about rule on Philippine roads. Lane splitting vs. lane filtering. There's been mixed messaging on enforcement. There's a bill in Congress right now trying to criminalize it. And most riders don't even know where the line is.

Every Filipino rider's grown up on oil myths passed down from mechanics and titos, and Repsol chemical engineer András finally puts them to the test. Car oil vs. real motorcycle oil, mineral vs. synthetic, and whether thicker oil actually protects better in our climate.

Ibba and King also dig into what actually happens to your engine when you ride through flooded streets, whether warming up your bike matters as much as everyone says, and whether following your casa's recommendation to the letter, or trusting your manong mechanic's shortcuts, is the smarter move.

Jacq Buncio and Lyle Parica of STFU BMW Motorrad Racing Team join Tunay Na Rider to demystify the Philippine Superbike Championship (PSBK), from how a race weekend actually runs to what separates Pro Class from Pirelli Cup.

Jacq is one of the most recognized names in Philippine motorsports: the first female rider to win a national superbike title in 2016, and PSBK's first-ever Rookie of the Year in 2018. Lyle is the mechanic-turned-racer story of the year, 2025 Pirelli Cup Super A Overall Champion and Golden Wheel Rookie of the Year, racing under the STFU banner and running Big Bike Medic on the side.

Ibba and King ask the questions every non-racer actually has: what the classes mean, what it costs to be on a grid, and why PSBK deserves more attention from the everyday Filipino rider.
