The Bataan Adventure Loop successfully travelled 200-kilometer route from the KDR Adventure Camp going to five different tourist destinations across Bataan, on December 14, 2025

To ensure safety, all riders underwent a safety orientation and seminar before their travel journeys. This activity served as a refresher on safe motorcycle riding practices.
Training Director of Motoclyde, Cyde Solano, stated that riders were informed to observe speed limits, comply with traffic rules, and give respect and courtesy on the road.
“Mayroon po tayong i-observe na speed limit, in that way na magiging ligtas po tayo and of course we follow the local traffic rules and i-respect po natin yung mga fellow transportation, mga drivers, tsaka yung mga tao, and sabi ko, bilang fellow rider, give courtesy to each other and share the road” he said
[“We have to observe the speed limit, in that way we would be safe and of course we follow the local traffic rules and respect the fellow transportation, drivers, and the people. And I also said, as a fellow rider, give courtesy to each other and share the road.”]

At the Pawikan Conservation Center, riders attended an orientation about the importance of Pawikan in the marine ecosystem and were encouraged to actively participate in conservation activities.

[“Inform [about the conservation of Pawikans] from their families, relatives, friends, or even in their social media accounts that there is a certain people or group that conserves Pawikan in the province of Bataan.”]
The highlight of this event is the charitable activity where the chosen beneficiary received their gift.
