Tunay na Rider

How does a young rider go from kart tracks to the MotoGP grid?

We’ll talk about:
🏁 What makes Ohvale different from other race bikes

750 riders. 3 days. 1 unforgettable ride through Northern Mindanao.
In this Castrol-powered episode, Big Sugar D of Loop PH joins Ibba and King Sengco to break down the epic North Min Loop—river crossings, mudslides, and all. From CDO to Bukidnon to Iligan (with side-trips to Marawi!), this ride shattered stigmas and built a true riding family.

Ride in. Tune in. Loop in.

Not all rides for a cause are created equal. Some build communities, others just build hype.

In this episode, we sit down with Raymon Gabriel of Breakfast Ride PH and Together We Ride, along with Joey Ermita and Fred Penales, to talk about the real impact of advocacy rides. We unpack the heart behind these rides, how they measure true community support, and where some “rides for a cause” may be missing the mark—or worse, exploiting the communities they claim to help.

From organizing relief efforts for calamity-stricken areas to empowering marginalized communities through fundraising and donation drives, Raymon has helped redefine what it means to ride with purpose.

🚦 Are motorcycle lanes keeping us safe — or boxed in?

In this episode of Tunay Na Rider, we’re joined by journalist and rider Brando Rosales to talk about the No Contact Apprehension Program (NCAP) and the controversial motorcycle lane enforcement on Commonwealth and beyond.

From blue lanes on EDSA to ₱5,000 fines, from snail mail violations to “rider walls,” we ask: Sino ba talaga ang pinoprotektahan ng mga bagong patakaran sa kalsada?

We dive into:

The truth behind EDSA’s “ghost” motorcycle lane

NCAP enforcement, safety, and system flaws

Government accountability vs. rider responsibility

Economic impact on delivery riders and commuters

What riders can actually do to push for safer, fairer roads

In this episode of Tunay Na Rider, we take on the infamous RA 11235, a.k.a. the Doble Plaka Law—but this time, with fresh updates, fun kwento, and real rider frustrations.

Why were we so mad about it?

What’s changed since?

And what kind of mess do you get into if you DON’T transfer ownership within 20 days?

We break it down rider-to-rider:

Why the original law made riders feel like criminals

The ₱20,000 penalty that still catches people off guard

The painful truth about LTO fixers and week-long transfer delays

Why color-coded plates aren’t just for aesthetics

And how the upcoming amnesty might be your only shot to legalize that decades-old deed of sale

Whether you’re a first-time bike owner, a secondhand hoarder, or just someone who’s tired of queuing at Landbank—this episode’s for you.

Ride smart. Transfer your bike. Pastensil nyo na yan.

In today's digital age, vlogging has become a powerful medium for expression and storytelling. However, with great reach comes great responsibility.

Consent and Public Spaces: Discussing the boundaries of recording in public areas and the importance of obtaining consent to avoid potential legal pitfalls.

Recent Incidents: Analyzing recent events where motovloggers faced legal challenges due to content shared online, highlighting the importance of being informed and cautious.

Best Practices: Offering guidance on how to create engaging content while respecting the rights and privacy of others.

Whether you're a seasoned vlogger or just starting out, this episode provides invaluable insights to ensure your content remains both compelling and compliant with Philippine laws.
