4. Habal-Habal<br />
In Metro Manila, it is an everyday picture that you see 1 to 2<br />
persons riding on a motorcycle. However, it is not the case<br />
when it comes to the streets of Mindanao and some parts of<br />
Visayas. Habal-habal is a highly improvised two-wheeled<br />
single motorcycle usually ridden beyond its passenger<br />
capacity. Since it is used as public transportation especially<br />
in areas with narrow roads, and steeper, rougher terrain, it<br />
could possibly carry up to 6-8 passengers, at the least. Yes,<br />
some people might have said that a habal-habal could<br />
accommodate more than 10 persons, with baggage’s<br />
ranging from vegetables and groceries to livestock like<br />
chicken yet to be included.<br />
