Tunay na Rider

What does adventure riding really mean?
Is it about going extreme; mud, cliffs, and crashes, or can it be chill, cheap, and still just as meaningful?

This week, Tunay Na Rider rides deep with Aaron Palabyab; filmmaker, rider, and storyteller, as we explore what “adventure” means to different kinds of riders.
We’ll talk about:
• Exploration vs Extreme Riding
• Expensive vs Budget Adventures
• Storytelling through the ride
• And how every journey, no matter how small, can be epic.

What happens when a former racing champion steps into leadership and another champion keeps shaping the culture from the garage to the grid? In this episode, Jacob Ang shares how competitive discipline translates to rider-first decisions at BMW and BMW Motorrad in the Philippines, while Archie Garcia brings decades of racing and mentorship to the table.

In this conversation
• Lessons from motorsport that carry into leadership and community building
• A rider-centric vision for BMW Motorrad in the Philippines
• How to grow a safer, more skilled riding culture that still keeps the fun
• The practical future of EVs on Philippine roads
• The one skill every Filipino rider should master

If you love fast lines, smart strategy, and the heartbeat of rider culture, this one’s for you.

Listen, rate, and share with a friend who rides BMW—or dreams of it.

This week, Tunay Na Rider features the powerhouse trio behind Big Bike Medic Ducati Racing Team.
Middleweight A Champion Kurt Matibag, Super A Champion Lyle Parica, and Team Manager Kenneth Nepomuceno share what it takes to win — the grind, the gear, and the guts behind every race.

We go behind the helmets and inside the paddock to understand how top riders train, think, and push the limits of performance on and off the track.

Motegi as Tunay Na Rider relives an epic MotoGP weekend. Joining us are Camille Lu of CFMOTO, celebrating their Motegi victory, and Lawrence Macalinao of GP Boys, Pinoy racing champion and MotoGP expert.

Perfect for riders, creatives, and anyone who loves a good origin story with plenty of road wisdom.

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.

Adventure isn’t always about going faster—it’s about going farther, smarter, and together. 🏍️ This week, Tunay Na Rider takes you to the vast Mongolian steppe for the MoTouRally 2025, a unique rally where strategy, navigation, and teamwork matter more than speed. Every kilometer counts, and the shortest path to the finish is never the easiest.

Joining us are Marc Soong and Don Joseph, sharing what it takes to prepare for an endurance rally that tests not just your riding skills, but your grit, GPS, and group dynamics. From choosing routes to surviving the elements, we dive into what makes MoTouRally a true adventure on two wheels.

Tune in and ride with us—steppe by steppe.

Can you be a good rider and still break the law?

In this episode of Tunay Na Rider, we sit down with Atty. Genesis Capocyan to unpack the legal grey areas that riders face daily — from lane filtering to aftermarket pipes, top box registration, LED lights, and more.

Bakit parang common sense minsan kontra sa batas? Are these laws outdated, or are we just hardheaded? 😅

Join Ibba, Buck, and King as we ask the big questions:
• Is lane filtering really illegal?
• Can you get fined for a top box?
• What’s the deal with ICC helmet stickers?
• Are LGU ordinances creating confusion for riders?

Whether you’re a daily commuter or weekend warrior, this episode will help you ride smarter, safer, and legally — kahit pa minsan parang the law is stuck in traffic.

🛵 Tunay Na Rider is powered by insight, advocacy, and a bit of good ol’ kalokohan.
