BLACKRIDERS M.C. PHILIPPINES

Words: Hook As I lay down in bed, watching videos as I slowly fall to sleep, I often encounter Facebook reels about a podcast discussing why men in these times are weak. Why men today don't  have what it takes to pick up a rifle and fight for their own freedom. I enjoyed listening to that podcast, and a beautiful quote was mentioned, it was explained in a logical yet very poetic way. The quote goes like this: "Hard times create strong men, strong men create easy times, easy times create weak men, weak men create difficult times." This explains that we are condemned in a cycle most often created by those who came before us. Looking at where the club is right now, we have enjoyed the good times created by those strong men. But it also weakened us to the point where we forgot what it is to carry our own balls. What's sad is, we blame those men for giving us peace, for giving us the wisdom to think for ourselves, and for letting us stand on our own. We defiled, we pointed...

Words: Mac We kneel to honor the promise of brotherhood the club represents. We kneel to affirm our belief that we are equals, that no brother is above another. We kneel to remind us to grow and become better, not only for the club but for our families as well. We kneel to fully accept the responsibility of being our brothers' keepers. We kneel to honor those who have fought with us and those who strengthen us when we are at our lowest. We kneel to show respect to the ones who came before us, who bestowed guidance and knowledge about the life we are to live. We kneel to pledge our loyalty to the club and the values it teaches. We kneel to fully accept the duty of living and following the MC code and its traditions, the Black and White way. We kneel to embrace the life as bearers of Hector and to continuously inspire others.

 Words: Preacher  I was always fascinated with motorcycles specially cruisers and choppers at a young age. I remember riding my stuffed animal dog pretending it was a motorcycle. Pretending to ride in long roads with the electric fan blowing wind in my face. I remember watching biker mice from Mars in the afternoon TV show and imitating them how they ride. They look so effin’ cool! But that’s not how I ended up in an Mc.  Mid 2016 I entered a state of depression. Everything was falling apart. I WAS FALLING APART. It was at this time I decided to get a bike thinking that maybe doing some rides may outrun the demons in my head. I remember looking at the Kawasaki Ns200 bike but I was hesitant to buy it. You know that feeling when you are looking at something at you whisper to yourself “it doesn’t speak to me”.  Yup, that exactly how I felt. I visited another showroom and saw this beautiful cruiser. It was a slick matte black SL 200. Immediately I know this was the one! ...

Words: Knuckles As the MC noob, you will more than often overstep the closeness and bond you build with your MC brothers as most people does. It is often the mistake of the youngling to not differentiate the difference of building friendship and relations in an MC against that of a civilian one. Confused yet? Let me first talk about history for a while. When these motorcycle clubs first rose, it was more often than not formed by veterans and soldiers coming home from their assignments. They built their club with respect and chain of command present and not just your typical civilian circle of friends wherein it is mostly comparable to your college buddies. This is where most lose track of the difference. In an MC authority and respect is always highly present just like being in the military. There are certain things and misdemeanors that one could pass or consider acceptable to an extent in a group of civilian friends but are warranting penalties and fines in an MC. One basic example o...

 In 1969, a group of riders formed an unbreakable bond of brotherhood. They forged a name that defied the tests of time. In 2017, another group of riders banded together to forge a unique motorcycle club brought together by the concepts of brotherhood, family, truth and loyalty. They embraced a name that defined who they are and who they aspired to be. Two generations. Two clubs. One Legacy. One Name. United at last. We are the Blackriders MC Philippines. This is who we are. This is our unfolding story. We bridge the generations to discover and rediscover the essence of true brotherhood. As clear as Black and White. Brothers till the end. Riders Forever. Forever Riders.
