Bikers One
Where LIFE is a journey…..
People move from one place to another. Life is a constant journey.
We, Filipinos, are fun-loving people. We love to travel as far as we can go. Our stay in this world is really a pilgrimage. We are the people on the way!
Bikers One Philippines is an initiative of Among Ben, a diocesan priest from the Bicol Region, and a native of Bacacay, Albay. He is now incardinated or permanently serving the Catholic faithful in
Among Ben founded the Bikers One to organize rides and fun, both for the highly organized and individual riders, in the
During Among Ben's Web-surfing, and from the experiences of his friends and being a rider himself, he knows very well that many biker groups and even individuals are going anywhere, and some for a pilgrimage. As a Bicolano, he has witnessed, even during his seminary days, how riders from all over the country are going for a pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Our Lady of Penafrañcia Basilica Minore,
Now, it is about time, as Among Ben mulled over, to organize a pilgrimage and a tour especially for the Celebration of the 300 Years of Devotion in honor of Our Lady of Penafrañcia (1710-2010). He believes in the powerful intercessions of Mama Mary -- the Mother of Jesus, and our Mother, too. Like Jesus, She is also in our pilgrimage of life.
Among Ben is very much enthusiastic in this endeavor that many riders will join and will make a very positive response in this first-ever long ride organized under the Biker One Philippines this coming September 10-14, 2010. As of today, May 19, 2010, some 60 Big Bike Riders will be joining, and other people will join by convoys, according to his source in
To further unite all bikers in the Philippines under one umbrella – the Bikers One Philippines – Among Ben also authored a social networking site, http://bikersonephilippines.org, designed for riders to gain friends, to meet other fellow riders from all over the Philippines, and to unify them as one family of motorbikers. It is open to all motorbikers, with or without a group, to have fun, meet and gain new friends with the same hobby, likes, and adventures in life. Thanks and acknowledgment to the Web team: Chito as Sys Admin, Timi as Web-Developer, and Daniel as Graphics Designer.
The Tagline and Motto of Bikers One Philippines is "Where LIFE is a journey", telling us that our life is truly a pilgrimage -- we walk and fight for life! At the end of our earthly journey, we shall meet our Creator, the God of our life. We also need to meditate that life is a journey; as riders, God is with us when we travel. He is accompanying us till we reach our destination. We are not alone. God is always on our side. Our fellow riders and new friends are with us, too, because of our common goal -- to gain life in heaven.
Let us all enjoy the fruits of our journey and the treasures of being friends.
God bless our journey,
Among Ben
