Group of “Kamote” Riders Elicit Reactions Online Over Racing in Marilaque Road

The Marcos Highway, also known as the Marikina-Infanta Highway, Marilaque Road, and Marikina-Infanta Road, is a favorite destination for motorcycle riders. It was a picturesque mountain roadway that connected Metro Manila, Rizal, Laguna, and Quezon.
On weekends, Filipino motorcycle aficionados and even ordinary people go to the location. Many visitors like relaxing and unwinding at the site, which has a variety of restaurants and other facilities.
Unfortunately, some people regard it as a killer highway due to the high number of accidents in the area, particularly on the twisties or turns. Some of the incidents are the result of “kamote” riders or careless drivers performing inappropriate displays in the region.
A page called the Publisher on Facebook published a video of a bunch of motorcycle riders in Marilaque. The bikers can be seen racing against each other on the public road in the 7-minute footage.
The cyclists appear unconcerned about the strange automobiles on the other side of the road. Some riders can be observed riding on the opposite side of the road in order to pass other motorbike riders.
The video has gone viral on social media, eliciting a wide range of opinions from the online community. Several netizens condemned the motorbike riders’ reckless driving, which can supposedly create accidents not only for the bikers but also for other motorists.
