So I got featured on Prime-time television again. Last month, I got asked to be a guest rider on the third episode of Ride Mo’To, a new show “For Riders and Soon to Be Riders” hosted by Paolo Abrera that airs on ABS-CBN Sports and Action. The episode I was featured in for the rider profile was all about Millennial Travel and Motorcycles with scooters provided by Yamaha and Suzuki, two of major brands carried by motorcycle dealer and show sponsor Wheeltek.
For riders, just hitting the open road, regardless of the destination, is an adventure in itself. But if you’re planning to ride all over the Philippines, you’ll realize it can get pretty complicated trying to transport a motorbike around since the country is made up of 7,641 islands. While there are some small amazing islands great for exploring by motorcycle, it’s more convenient to just rent motorbikes from there.

Cebu is one of the most developed provinces of the Philippines and one of the country’s top tourist destinations. Over the years I’ve traveled back and forth here for various work trips, media tours and solo backpacking trips.

I bought my scooter five and a half years ago, about the same time I started this blog. The red and white Yamaha Mio Fino you see on the blog header is Chocobo, named after the gigantic bird-like creatures in the Final Fantasy video game universe which protagonists use to explore the world. Chocobos provide a faster way of getting from Point A to Point B than going on foot. They give you access to hard to reach areas and open up new destinations to explore.
I’ve gone on a lot of adventures with Chocobo. He’s been my faithful companion for weekend rides and everyday chores. Despite getting him secondhand, he’s survived a long trip to Bicol. Earlier this year, I shipped him by ferry and rode around Cebu as one of the 10 finalists of Wrangler True Wanderer 2016, a competition where motorcycle riders explore key destinations in the Philippines.

Are you ready to go on a journey of a lifetime?
Nothing symbolizes freedom on the open road more than embarking on a journey on your motorcycle. Like modern cowboys, riders have the freedom to explore, go off the beaten path and blaze trails during their travels.
