THERE IS NO “FILIPINO MC”

-
Image
  Words: Hook 📸 : BlackRiders International Some Filipinos like to invent the term “Filipino MC” as if MC culture has a separate Filipino version. It doesn't. The traditions, protocols, three-piece structure, hierarchy, territory etiquette, and brotherhood of the traditional MC came from the West. Filipinos adopted the culture; we did not create another version of it. Calling it a “Filipino MC” is as absurd as Americans practicing Mano Po and calling it “American Mano Po culture,” or Filipinos drinking British tea and declaring it “Filipino tea culture.” BlackRiders MC did not learn traditional MC protocol from the internet or invent our own rules. Our journey into traditional MC culture began when we encountered the Outlaws MC Ohilippines, a 1%er club. We showed respect, loyalty, and love where it was earned and in return, we earned recognition. We didn't ask for legitimacy. We earned it. Our three-piece is recognized internationally because we follow the traditions and proto...

The Snake in the Vest: Spotting the Narcissistic Manipulator

-
Image
Words: Hook 📸: AI Generated Out on the road, every rider knows one rule: trust is earned, not given. Brotherhood isn't built with loud words, fake loyalty, or empty promises. It's built through respect, sacrifice, accountability, and actions that never change when the crowd disappears. But every now and then, a different kind of rider shows up. Not a brother, just a snake wearing a patch. Psychology calls them narcissistic manipulators. They don't always look dangerous. In fact, many appear charismatic, confident, and convincing. They know exactly what people want to hear because their greatest weapon isn't strength, it's manipulation. A narcissistic manipulator craves admiration, control, and power. According to psychological research, people with strong narcissistic traits often have an inflated sense of self importance, a lack of empathy, and a constant need for validation. When they don't get what they want, they rarely accept responsibility. Instead, they ...

  Words: Hook Photo: Dizzy The most important aspect of brotherhood in a traditional three-piece motorcycle club is the dedication of each member to show up (not only when he is comfortable), and sacrifice all for the love of the club. As an MC man, we have forged our way into our brotherhood with an empty cup. No excuses, no status, no race, no political preferences, and most importantly no biases. We have served with sweat and blood, that is why we deserve to be called brothers. We did not buy our way in, nor used any harm for we only show love, loyalty and respect to one another.  We have come from different walks of life, different in blood and in mind, but we stand firm in believing that we are one under Hector. That simply means that NO ONE CAN F*CK WITH US! For we are the BlackRiders MC. Does your group offer the same?  Come, ride with us! #BlackridersMCPhilippines #BlackridersMCMotherChapter #BlackridersMCEastCapitalChapter #BlackRidersMCNorthCapitalChapter ...

Prospecting is not about being someone's b*tch.

 Words: Hook 📷Marco For some reason, when you prospect into a club, you may understand the notion that not everyone will appreciate you. Not everyone will talk to you, and not everyone will respect you. That's fine. Toughen up, because you are about to enter a world that is not for the faint of heart.   I remembered a brother's birthday, my second time serving as a prospect. They noticed that I always bow my head when I move around serving brothers. A brother called me and asked me, why do I keep bowing? To which I explained that it was a show of respect to the ones who were talking around the area where I was walking around (a sign of a Filipino way of showing respect). However, despite the explanation I had, his face still showed something unusual, something confusing, as if what I said to him was inadequate. What he told me next made me empty my cup. It made me realize that these moments are the ones you truly have to remember and appreciate. A brother gave his time to exp...

Why Modern Society Hates Chivalry: An Analysis of Why 'Real Men' are the Antagonists of Modernity

-
Image
Written by Hook Photo: Brother Kanding posing at a Cafe in Iloilo, while drenched in rain water after a ride on the way to church.  Dear Brothers and Sisters, For countless reasons, I hate to admit that society became too sensitive. Men, who were seen as protectors of the weak (The Knight in Shining Armor) are now portrayed as evil. Without conflict, these so called 'protectors' have no place in a society. People no longer acknowledge what they could do, and what they are ought to do. Branding these real men as toxic, barbaric and uncivilized. Modern society will tell you that there is no conflict to come, and that we should all live in peace and celebrate our weaknesses.  A real man begs to differ. But what makes a real man? Is it because of his sexual organ? Should a man always portray himself as brave and strong, or should he hide it from society? Should a real man be muscular, barbaric, and tough looking? Is a real man someone who can identify himself as argued by the woke...

A Stronghold Now Lay in Ruins

-
Image
Words written by Hook Photo captured by Hook  On a beautiful sunny day in a highway, a group of bikers with their handle bars high, ride in a beautiful staggered position. Their engines roaring, men are shouting wildly at it each other. They're quite intimidating, their tattoos showing and their bikes unique to the public eye.Their colors all black and white, their backs with flaming skulls on a cross. While  others don't have them yet. Their numbers were many,  it was an estimate that they were more than 50 riding judging by the numbers as my young nephew counted them one by one until he lost the ability to go further than 50. They were riding with smiling faces and everybody was watching silently.  For some of them, it didn't matter what bikes they were on, v-twins, single cylinders, and even cafe racers. All of them were having fun, all of them were riding. It came to a point that every weekend, I would see them hang around Marikina, a bar named Ruins. They would ...

Masks

-
Image
 Words: Hook Photo: Hook I have different masks for different groups of people: -In school, I'm a nerd who always sleeps in the library. -At home, I'm the kid who always goes out to play with his friends and comes back home late at night, only to escape outside the window to play again. -At work, I'm this asshole who loves to work easy and never lets anyone give him bullsh*t. But the most essential identity I have is found within the club. No filters, no restrictions, no drama and most importantly no mask. With my brothers, I am who I truly am. If you want to know who I really am, call me by my roadname, "Hook," cause I earned that shit for real. I am Hook from North Capital Chapter, and a proud member of the Biggest Black and White Club in the Philippines. The BlackRiders MC, I am an Affiliate Outlaw, and my club has been standing since 1972.  We are always riding, and never hiding.  With much love, loyalty and respect.  Salute 🖕🏻 to the all my brothers 🏴🏳️ R...
