Team Graphter Philippines from Batangas

This group is based in Lipa City, Batangas. Team Graphter is well known in the motorcycle modifying scene for their intricate graphic decals.

They are mainstays in motor shows and they also organize yearly motor shows to celebrate the group’s anniversary. The group is founded and headed by Ian Lester De Ramos (President) and Mark Alvin Rubion (Vice President). Key officers of the group are Randolf Amazona (Treasurer), Aries Hernandez (Adviser) and Romnick Rustia/Ralley Briones (Admins).

“Nagsimula po sa una katuwaan lang. Ilan-ilan lang kame. Puro kami naka-decals, lahat mahilig sa graphics – anime, Marvel characters, games at iba pa. Unti-unting dumami, may mga sumali at naisipan namin na gawin ng official group dahil po lahat kami naka graphic decals. Lahat kami gawang Graphter design sticker kaya pinangalanan namin po ang aming grupo na Team Graphter Philippines,” Mark Alvin Rubion shared.

The main activities of the group are joining motor shows and organizing motor shows. They use the funds to benefit less fortunate kids or kids that are suffering sickness at their local children’s hospital. They also engage in out of town rides and visit different places to join motor shows. The group was originally founded by Ian Lester De Ramos, Mark Alvin Rubion, Randolf Amazona and Jhay ar Magnaye. Members of the club own scooters, underbones, backbones, show tricycles and sportbikes. All of their bikes sport graphic decals.

“We are not just a team, we are family. All of our members are actively engaged in modifying their bikes. We share our experiences during building our bikes and we constantly try to improve. We specialize in graphic decals and most of our rides reflect our interest such as anime, superhero characters, PC games, online games and console games. We also support each other whenever we join out of town motor shows. We assist our members regarding logistics, preparation (build/detailing), ingress and egress. We also help each other find and procure parts needed for our show bikes especially rare parts. Thank you sa mga sponsors at partners namin na todo ang suporta sa amin. Maraming salamat po sa inyo. Thank you Graphter Design, the whole Team Graphter Philippines family, our partners and collaborators for our show bikes – Airworks, Andopworks, Otepworks, Kitty works, 3brothers, Bimbiworks, and Spiggyworks. Thank you to InsideRACING Magazine for featuring our group,” Mark Alvin said to end our interview.
