More than 400 bikers rode across the 11 municipalities of Davao de Oro on February 28, 2026, for the DDO MoTour Ride 2026, a non-competitive endurance tourism event held as a prelude to this year’s Bulawan Festival.
The activity formally opened on February 27 in Pantukan, and was graced by Governor Raul Mabanglo, Senator JV Ejercito Estrada and celebrity motovlogger Jet Lee, expressing support for motorcycle tourism initiatives in the country.
The tour ride began in Pantukan before dawn, with participants traveling through designated checkpoints and tourism stops.
Among the sites visited were Lake Leonard Kniašeff, Maco; Tagbibinta Waterfalls, Maragusan; Magdalaga Mountain Range; “Scarecrows of Compostela” Rice Paddies, Compostela; Magdagandang Waterfalls, Monkayo; Laak’s Fairy Tale Castle, and other sites.
The tour ride concluded at the Provincial Capitol Grounds, Nabunturan, in time for the Bikers’ Night and Closing Ceremony to recognize finishers who completed all required stops. Governor Mabanglo expressed his appreciation to all the riders who made the event successful; “Kamo ang nagdala og kabibo sa unang adlaw sa Bulawan Festival… daghan kaayong salamat sa inyong tanan!”
Two brand-new motorcycles were also sponsored by Starlee Marketing as prizes for the Grand Raffle Draw during the Closing Ceremony, adding to the excitement of the event.
