Kicking
off at Baguio City last July, Shell Bike Fair wraps up this year’s
festivities with a bang this Saturday, September 22 at the Philippine
International Convention Center (PICC), Pasay City.
The
biker community in the Philippines has grown exponentially as more
and more riders consider two-wheeled vehicles as a more practical and
convenient mode of transport. Based on the latest statistics from
LTO, the number of registered motor vehicles in the Philippines has
grown to 10.5 million as of 2017.
Pilipinas
Shell, a reliable partner of the biker community, in making their
rides better celebrates the courage and resilience of bikers as they
take their daily journeys despite the difficulties that they face in
weaving through obstacles on the road.
“This
day is really to express how grateful we are for the support that we
received from the Filipino biking community,” said Shell V-Power
Brand Manager, Mark Malabanan. “As our theme says, together we ride
stronger. We are honored to be chosen as their partner on the road,
being there with them through the years. And, as we have for more
than a hundred years, Pilipinas Shell continues to strive to make
life’s journeys better for all motorists.”
Participants
were treated to special offers from Shell and event sponsors as well
as exciting games and booth activities. Performances by Rico Blanco,
Rocksteddy, and other local acts also rocked the event alongside
celebrity guests Daiana Menezes, Yam Concepcion, and Phoebe Walker.
Five
winners each brought home scooters or motorcycles that were raffled
off as major prizes: Honda CBR150, Yamaha Mio i125, and Suzuki
Raider J115. The biker community was also given the chance to express
their creativity through the Modified Bike and Helmet Design
contests.
The
highlight of the day was the announcement of the big winner of Shell
Outriders: the nationwide search for the best bike club.
A
total of 17 finalists representing Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao were
picked out through careful screening of hundreds of entries received
over the past two months. The chosen clubs set up creative displays
at the convention hall to showcase their love for riding and how they
exhibit personal and social courage. The champions received a cash
prize of PHP 100,000.00 and fuel vouchers worth PHP 50,000.00.
“We
put up this search because we want to recognize bike clubs who
exemplify the brand values and ideals of Shell. We were amazed to see
how passionate they are for what they do and how they push to
continue to outride anything.” said Shell Advance Brand Manager,
Lorrie Ramirez.
This
year’s Shell Bike Fair was made possible by Shell Advance and Shell

road. As a global leader in power and energy, Shell continually works
