Set against the scenic backdrop of Landco Pacific's CaSoBe, the event was more than just chrome and throttle—it was a powerful display of how the motorcycle community can rally behind a meaningful cause. The highlight of the event was the much-anticipated raffle draw of a brand-new Lambretta V200, which had fueled excitement for weeks and drew overwhelming support from participants and donors alike.
The ride series, which began earlier in May and involved multiple clubs pooled by the Ducati Club South aimed at raising funds for burned and crippled children under the care of the National Children’s Hospital, through the benevolent mission of the Saigon Shrine Club, a recognized body under Mabuhay Shriners Philippines and Shriners International.

The Breakfast Charity Ride Series marks a milestone for Lifestyle Riding PH, proudly organizing the first-ever charity ride of Saigon Shrine Club with a purpose-driven mission to support burned and crippled children at the National Children’s Hospital.
The grand finale of this meaningful journey was fittingly held at CaSoBe (Calatagan South Beach)—a visionary 15-hectare resort estate developed by Landco Pacific Corporation. Just a short drive from Metro Manila, CaSoBe offered not just a breathtaking coastal backdrop, but also a venue that aligns with the values of innovation, community, and sustainability.
With its iconic blue walkways, vibrant art installations, and award-winning developments like The Nautilus beachfront condominium, CaSoBe stood as the perfect symbol of what Lifestyle Riding aims to achieve: riding not just for the thrill, but for impact, unity, and long-term change.
