Union Bank of the Philippines (UnionBank) has announced its partnership with the Harley Owners Group (HOG) Manila Chapter Philippines as the platinum sponsor for the much-anticipated “PH Ride with Purpose” event.
Set to take place on June 24th and 25th at Subic Bay Freeport, this event celebrates the 10th anniversary of the HOG Manila Chapter and embodies UnionBank’s commitment to nation-building and community support.
The “PH Ride with Purpose” event serves as a gathering of recreational riders from all over the country, fostering camaraderie, strengthening social connections, and promoting local tourism, community empowerment, and environmental protection. These core values align perfectly with UnionBank’s ongoing efforts for the greater good, making the bank a proud supporter of this initiative.
This year’s event is aimed at showcasing Subic Bay Freeport as a premier motorcycle tourist destination, creating a positive impact on the local economy. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience the exhilarating “ride and live free lifestyle” through various exciting activities, including motorcycle test rides, bike washes, and safe riding skills training. These activities not only highlight the diverse tourism areas and local delicacies in the vicinity but also demonstrate UnionBank’s commitment to enhancing the overall event experience.
HOG Manila Chapter President and Director, Yen Roxas, expressed gratitude towards UnionBank, stating, “We’re really grateful to UnionBank for trusting HOG Manila as a partner to share our vision and to help in nation-building. By supporting us on this event, they are also helping our eco-park and many of our other social responsibility projects. Hopefully, this is a good start for us, especially since we are both aligned in our vision.”
The two-day event will also feature live performances by legendary Philippine hard rock bands, The Breed and Razorback with Basti Artadi, as well as sets by DJ Bia, promising to keep the energy levels high throughout the event.
All proceeds from the “PH Ride with Purpose” event will go towards supporting HOG Manila Chapter’s social responsibility projects, including the Daang Kalikasan Eco-Park. This co-development initiative, in collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, aims to enhance the five-hectare National Greening Program plantation in Barangay Muelang, Mangatarem, Pangasinan, through tree planting and nurturing. UnionBank’s sponsorship of the event underscores its commitment to environmental sustainability and community development.
The “PH Ride with Purpose” event is just one of the many social responsibility projects undertaken by HOG Manila Chapter Philippines. As a non-profit, non-political, and non-religious riding club formed by owners of Harley-Davidson bikes, the group actively promotes responsible and safe motorcycle riding while also contributing to the local economy through motorcycle tourism. UnionBank recognizes the importance of these initiatives and is honored to collaborate with HOG Manila in driving positive change for the nation.
