Imagine feeling the breeze on your skin, seeing the open road ahead, and getting the thrill of mastering the two-wheeled ride with good skills and safety precautions.
That’s what the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) aims to achieve. Set to officially launch their very own Motorcycle Riding Academy on 27th September 2023, this is sure to open up new avenues for both seasoned riders and those itching to hop on a motorcycle.
