The Higanteng Padyak took off at 6:30 with higanteng number of attendees present. Most were MTB riders and came from as far away place as Marikina and Quezon City. One of the organizers I know personally is artist Orville Tiamson. The estimate was 700 registered (paying riders) and about 200 not registered. They had to start late (the supposed start was 6:00) because of the hordes that were still coming.
There is a registration fee of P300.00 which covers the T shirt, a free McDo breakfast. Part of the proceeds will go to an public art school in Angono. Mr. Orville Tiamson an artist is part of the group that spearheaded this ride. It is on the third year.
The Higanteng Padyak comes as a prelude to many Higante event in Angono. The town fiesta is on November 23, 2017. And then comes a parada, of Higantes. Land of Giants
Bikes came in many size and shapes: MTB, folding bike, old bikes, road bikes. Male, female, children riders.
It was a touching moment to be in touch with wave of humanity, who like you want to save the environment, and have long life. They want good health, to discover themselves, and to enjoy the fun and camaderie in riding
