As posted by Pres JRThe riders meet at park n fly at around 7:00 a.m.. We start our journey to HPI at approximately 8:30 a.m.. The group had to wait for Ezekiel since he encounterd a flat tire on his way to the meeting place. Before we hit the road Ariel (Nail) leads a prayer. A little briefieng and off we go.
On our way to Sucat Service Road, Ezekiel suggest that we change route so Ezekiel guide us from Sucat-Zapote-Alabang. First stop is Jollibee Pacita Complex to meet with Erick. From Pacita we decided to go to SM Sta. Rosa to refresh ourselves and eat lunch (Mang Inasal) since it is only 10 a.m.. We start the journey again at 12:00 nn.From SM Sta. Rosa the next stop is Carmelray in Batangas to meet Bluexi. At around 1:00 p.m. we met Bluexi and head straight to First Phil. Industrial Park (FPIP). PBRC arrived at FPIP 1:30 p.m. since the appointment is 3:00 p.m. we decided to have a rest in Sto. Tomas Batangas Petron. Sir Ghilbert of HPI text me and confirms that we can enter the Main Gate of FPIP 2:30 p.m.. So at around 2:20 we head straight to FPIP. As we arrived the Main Gate of FPIP there was some misunderstanding with regards the PBRC Plant Visit. After a few minutes and coordination with HPI we are allowed to enter FPIP.
Inside HPI, I handed the PBRC t-shirt and sticker ( thanks VP) to Sir Ghilbert as a token of appreciation to HPI. The group is very welcome and it seems that everything was prepared by our host. First there was a film showing about Honda, then we went down to the production. We saw how HPI assembles motorcycle, and we were amazed. We are not allowed to go to welding and paint section because it is hazardous. After that they prepare a meal (Spaghetti, Tuna Sandwich and Fried Chicken). there is also a parlor game (congrats Team 1) prepare by our host. We were able to go to the In-house Apparel Shop were some members bought some original Honda Apparel at discounted price.
On our way back to Manila around 5:00 p.m.. Bluexi separates with the group in Carmelray. Then Erick in Chowking Pacita, when it started to rain. We stop at Caltex for shelter. When the rain stops the journey continues up to Turbina to buy some pasalubong. From Turbina straight to Alabang (9:00 p.m.). We seperate in two groups. 1 group to C5 and another to Pasay.
