As part of its continuing commitment to uplift and support Filipino communities in times of need, MotortradeLALAF, in partnership with Motortrade Masbate, launched its latest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, “Tulong at Pag-asa para sa Masbate.”
In collaboration with local community initiatives in Masbate City, Cataingan, and Aroroy, the team conducted an on-ground assessment to evaluate the extent of the damage brought by Bagyong Opong.
Through these efforts, Motortrade was able to extend assistance by distributing 1,000 roofing sheets (yero) to 225 affected families — providing not just materials for rebuilding homes, but also restoring a sense of hope and resilience among the residents.

Motorcycles are not just modes of transportation—they’re valuable assets and everyday companions, especially for Filipino riders who rely on them for commuting, business, and deliveries. Just like any machine, motorcycles need consistent care to stay in excellent running condition. That’s where regular servicing comes in. At Motortrade, we believe in empowering every rider with proper motorcycle care. Here’s why regular motorcycle servicing should be a top priority.
Motorcycle servicing refers to the routine checkup and maintenance of various components of your bike to ensure it’s operating safely and efficiently. This typically includes:
✓ Oil and filter changes
✓ Brake system inspection
✓ Chain cleaning and lubrication
✓ Tire pressure and tread check
✓ Battery condition check
✓ Engine and electrical diagnostics
It’s not just about fixing problems—it’s about preventing them before they start.
Nothing is more important than your safety. Servicing helps detect worn-out brakes, loose bolts, tire issues, or engine problems that could lead to accidents if left unchecked. Riding a properly maintained motorcycle gives you peace of mind on every journey.
What starts as a small noise or minor issue can quickly turn into a costly repair. Regular maintenance helps detect and address problems early, saving you from unexpected breakdowns and repair bills.
Like any machine, your motorcycle performs better and lasts longer with proper care. Servicing helps keep your engine and parts in optimal condition, increasing the overall lifespan of your unit.
Dirty air filters, old spark plugs, or poor tire pressure can reduce your bike’s fuel efficiency. Regular tune-ups ensure your motorcycle runs smoothly and consumes fuel efficiently—saving you money over time.
A well-maintained motorcycle holds its value much better. Whether you plan to upgrade or sell in the future, a complete service history shows potential buyers that your unit has been taken care of properly.
Many manufacturer’ warranties require regular servicing as part of their conditions. Skipping service intervals can void your warranty, leaving you without coverage for certain repairs or parts.
The recommended service intervals can vary depending on the brand, model, and usage of the motorcycle. As a general guide:
✓ First service: after 1,000 km or 1 month
✓ Second service: after 4,000–5,000 km
✓ Regular servicing: every 3 to 6 months
If you use your motorcycle heavily—such as for delivery, long-distance travel, or daily commuting—more frequent checkups may be needed.
Motortrade offers expert motorcycle servicing across our nationwide network of branches. Here’s why thousands of riders trust us:
✓ Brand-certified mechanics and technicians
✓ Use of genuine parts and accessories
✓ Quick and efficient service process
✓ Affordable maintenance packages
✓ Accessible locations all over the Philippines
Whether you ride a Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or any of our partner brands, we have the expertise to maintain it properly.
Regular motorcycle servicing is an investment in your safety, your motorcycle’s performance, and your financial well-being. Don’t wait for problems to arise—keep your motorcycle in peak condition with scheduled checkups.
At Motortrade, we’re committed to helping every rider enjoy a smooth, safe, and worry-free riding experience.

In the Philippines, the rainy season can last for months—bringing not only floods and slippery roads but also challenges for motorcycle riders. For many Filipinos, motorcycles are essential for daily transportation and delivery work, so riding in the rain is often unavoidable. That’s why preparing your motorcycle for wet weather isn’t optional—it’s essential for safety, performance, and long-term durability.
Whether you’re a daily commuter, weekend rider, or business owner relying on your unit, this guide will help you stay safe and ready for every rainy ride.
Unlike cars, motorcycles offer little protection from the elements. A sudden downpour or unexpected flood can be dangerous if your motorcycle isn’t properly maintained or equipped for the conditions. Rain can affect:
✓ Braking distance (longer on wet roads)
✓ Tire grip and traction
✓ Engine and electrical performance
✓ Visibility for you and other drivers
Proper preparation can prevent accidents, reduce repair costs, and give you peace of mind no matter the weather.
Before the rainy season is in full swing, take time to inspect and maintain your unit. Here are the key areas to focus on:
Your brakes and tires are your first line of defense against slippery roads.
✓ Make sure your brake pads aren’t worn out and your brake fluid is at the right level.
✓ Check tire tread depth—bald tires are extremely risky in the rain. At least 2mm tread depth is ideal for wet conditions.
✓ Proper tire pressure improves traction and prevents skidding.
Good lighting and a reliable electrical system are essential when visibility drops.
✓ Check that your headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and signal lights are all working.
✓ Replace any dim or flickering bulbs.
✓ Ensure there are no exposed or damaged wires that might short-circuit when wet.
Rainwater and mud can quickly wash off chain lubricants, leading to rust and damage.
✓ Clean and lubricate your drive chain every two weeks or after every ride in heavy rain.
✓ Use weather-resistant chain lube for better protection.
Your motorcycle isn’t the only thing that needs protection—you do, too. Wearing the right gear during the rainy season can keep you safe, dry, and visible on the road.
✓ Invest in a full-body rain suit that keeps you dry during long rides. Choose one with reflective strips for better visibility in low-light conditions.
✓ Waterproof Storage and Mounts
✓ Waterproof bags or top boxes
✓ Phone holders with waterproof covers and anti-fog screens
✓ Plastic covers for under-seat storage
Rain doesn’t stop once you’re on the road. To keep your bike in good shape all season, regular maintenance is key.
Cold and wet conditions reduce battery performance. Make sure:
✓ Battery terminals are clean and dry
✓ You test your battery’s charge regularly
✓ The battery is securely mounted and sealed
Don’t leave your bike wet after a rainy ride. Simple actions can prevent rust and damage.
✓ Wipe down the motorcycle with a dry cloth
✓ Focus on the chain, brake discs, and switches
✓ Park in a dry, covered space or use a waterproof motorcycle cover
Motortrade isn’t just your trusted motorcycle dealer—we’re your service partner too. During the rainy season, Motortrade offers:
✓ Free motorcycle safety checkups during selected promos
✓ Brand-certified mechanics for all maintenance and repair services
✓ Waterproof accessories and gear available at select branches
✓ Battery, tire, and electrical inspections to ensure your ride is storm-ready
✓ Convenient service across our 800+ nationwide branches
✓ Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, our team is ready to help you keep your bike in top shape, rain or shine.
The rainy season may be unavoidable—but breakdowns, accidents, and riding discomfort can be prevented with the right preparation. From checking your tires and lights to investing in quality gear and regular service, each step helps ensure your safety on the road.
At Motortrade, we’re committed to supporting Filipino riders through every season. Make safety your habit—and let us help you ride with confidence.

Motortrade Life and Livelihood Assistance Foundation, Inc (Motortrade LALAF) recently turned-over Php2.4M worth of hospital equipment to the Camarines Norte Provincial Hospital (CNPH) as part of their advocacy of helping improve the quality of life, social and spiritual values of the urban poor.
Motortrade LALAF Executive Directress, Shirlyn Ko, together with Motortrade Nationwide Corporation (MNC) Zone Manager, Ranulfo Empig and Regional Manager, Christopher Opena, spearheaded the ceremonial turnover of two (2) Hemodialysis machines and one (1) ventilator machine which were accepted by Camarines Norte Vice Governor Joseph Ascutia, Provincial Health OfficerDr. Walter Jalgalado and CNPHMS II Acting Chief of Hospital, Dr. Liborio Ferrer.
Vice Gov. Ascutia, in his brief message, expressed the provincial government and CNPH’s gratitude to Motortrade LALAF for the donation citing that these would augment the present number of hemodialysis and ventilator machines that the CNPH may use to be able to serve more dialysis and critical care patients from the province.
Motortrade LALAF is a non-stock, non-profit organization established in 2001 with programs focused on the following areas: 1) Emotional Development; 2) Discipleship; 3) Upliftment of Life; 4) Competitive Sports & Arts Development; 5) Alternative Learning System (ALS); 6) Technical Skills Training Program; 7) Experiential Learning. In 2021, Motortrade LALAF also donated medical supplies and equipment particularly to care for Covid patients in nine (9) hospitals in Bicol region including CNPH. Last June, Motortrade LALAF assisted by MNC, provided food packages to 70,000 families in need across the nation.
In handing over the hospital equipment, Motortrade LALAF Exec. Dir. Shirlyn Ko said “Motortrade LALAF shall continue to find opportunities to contribute in building better and healthier society.” This activity espouses ALAGANG MOTORTRADE which holistically defines the kind of customer service and corporate social responsibility that Motortrade founder and Chairman Emeritus Vicente N. Ongtenco wishes to provide to Filipinos.
Motortrade employees who witnessed the ceremonial turnover were able to experience first hand the joy of giving back to the community and realized that for every motorcycle unit that they sell, creates an opportunity to help the community.
