Team ENERGY RACING

Mr. Doyce Tan ,a very friendly and energetic motorcycle enthusiast founded Team Energy Racing in 2006.

Energy - the world speaks for itself, a vibrant group of motorcycle lovers bonding together in one particular interest, the passion for motorcycle;

The energetic club was organized by sociable members who believed in the safety first policy in riding.

Going back on the team's history, the club was created by a twist of some fate or let say by luck, by riders who decided to go somewhere far away from the city with their motorcycles. " It all started from a long ride and ended up with friendship". Doyce said.

Their love for motorcycle has developed in them a better sense of responsibility as a rider . The team always makes sure that in every hour, all members are in proper gears and apparel , especially for motorist. They also show proper road courtesy to other drivers.

Unlike other motorcycle clubs, Team Energy Racing has no monthly dues are required. In other terms no money involved and only friendship and companionship counts.

Team Energy Racing always schedules a long ride almost every month. They go far places like Dumaguete, Sipalay, Hinobaan. The Negros Island has already been conquered by this energetic group and they are now planning their next campaign to the neighboring Islands of Cebu and Iloilo for next level.

Team Energy is not just about motorcycle enthusiasm. It's also about the ecstasy in driving and the zeal of friendship.

Tech-One, Ultima Racing Group, Performance Maniax

If you ever happen to see a group of fancylooking cars driving- by, chances are these cars either belong to Tech-One, Performance Maniax or Ultima Racing Group. These groups of car enthusiasts, be it speed maniacs, sound freaks, or bling fanatics, share a common passion for cool cars. You would spot them on Friday and Saturday nights partying at some local bar or hanging out at some nearby coffee shop sharing information on the latest aftermarket spare parts, camshafts, pistons, suspensions, amplifiers, subwoofers and their love stories.

These groups involve themselves in legal drag race, autocross race, sound-offs and car shows as part of their regular activities. They would occasionally go to Cebu and Bacolod to represent Iloilo City. The most recent event was the PALumba Session 2 held last April 17-19, 2009, of which attracted many participants from all over the Philippines including Manila, Cebu and Davao. Fidel 'Jun' Cabrera, of Team Tech-One, brought pride to Iloilo City when he bagged the title Champion in the Class B Category. “This event”, he says, “because done in a safe and controlled environment, provided car enthusiasts with a proper venue to race, thus further discouraged and lessened the incidences of street racing.” Fellow Ilonggos Randolf Lim and Fred Espino, both of Team Performance Maniax, also won 2nd place in Class C Category and Champion in Class D Category respectively in that same event.

The recently concluded autocross race has proven that indeed there are a lot of Ilonggos who are into this kind of sport, as well. “Safety is the most important factor to ensure when you engage in activities like these” stresses Alan Palacios of Team Tech-One. Activities like these also promote camaraderie and sportsmanship among the participants. As spokesperson for the group Team Ultima Racing, Kim Uy says, “One of our team's goal is to promote friendship and brotherhood, with the hope that we would be able to unite with other car enthusiasts out there.”

We drive safely, abide by the rules and regulations and observe proper road courtesy”, adds JR Tugbang. Mark Colorado, of Team Tech-One says, “Aside from having a good time, our group was formed because we want to have an assembly of car enthusiasts who are into this kind of sport. We willingly share our ideas and opinions with one another.” Frequent topics of conversation revolve around performance tuning and upgrades. They would also go on periodic out- of town fun runs to satisfy their 'need for speed' cravings. “This is what we enjoy doing. Activities like these give us opportunities to bond with our other members, as well as meet other people who share the same passion as we do”, concludes Klein Tan, Of Performance Maniax.

Phil Bikers Mosrai

Philbikers Mosrai used to be a simple organization of motorbikers who meet and talk about their passion. Through the years, it has evolved into a community-sensitive organization. There was a time when it's enough that one's motorcycle serves its purpose --- to bring you to your destination. But nowadays, this vehicle had become not only a mode of transportation but a thing of fashion and passion. Motorbikes are being dressed up in different colors, accessorized with special lights, music and even DVD players! You can see a lot of these everywhere, making it safe to say that there are many motorbike enthusiasts around. To organize these motorbike aficionados, the Philbikers Mosrai (Motorsports Raider Association, Inc.) was founded by Mario Iguidez in 2003. It started with seven and now it has 150 members in Iloilo City and Province.

Philbikers Mosrai used to be a simple organization of motorbikers who meet and talk about their passion. Through the years, it has evolved into a community-sensitive organization. It is actively supporting Balay Dalayunan, a rehabilitation center for boys, where every December, they hold a gift-giving activity. This May, they will come back to check the status of its residents, according to Anthony Estancia, president of Philbikers Mosrai. They also participated in health campaigns, Kasadyahan 2008 and more.

Another thrust of the groupd is to help in tourism and mobilization efforts. They participate in motorcades and caravans of establishments and the local government unit. "We are a non-profit group and we do not charge for such participation. Well-meaning establishments give us freebies as tokens for our support," Estancia said. The group also participated in the Department of Tourism's Porma Balas 2008. "We are composed of people from different walks of life, including artists." The members have traveled to Guimaras, Dumarao, Passi and Antique because of their sport.

Every summer, the organization holds different sports activities. Including at the Robinsons Mall where the group will host the "Philbikers On The Spot Modifying Challenge," wherein participants will modify their motorbikes. Being a member of Philbikers Mosrai is also beneficial to its members. They hold talks on safety and first aid. Estancia is quite concerned that some bikers do not wear helmets. "They are putting their life at risk," he said. He hopes that with the talks, bikers would become safer with their bikes.
