More than 300 Ducatisti from over 20 Ducati Official Clubs (DOCs) from all over the Philippines gathered last May 6 to show strength in numbers and solidarity with the Ducati Global Community for the the 2nd We Ride As ONE Ducati Global event.

With the support Clark Development Corporation (CDC), a major sponsor of this event, together with Shell Advance Philippines, local traffic enforcers lead the 300-strong Ducati Grand Motorcade around the iconic landmarks of Clark. First stop is the new Clark International Airport, where the group had a quick photo op followed by a drive by along Clark International Speedway, Fontana Leisure Parks and Casino, Aqua Planet, the CDC Flag pole and finally, the Stotsenberg post before heading to the main event venue at the Clark Parade Grounds.

Osmeña Street, from Ninoy Aquino Ave. up to R.C. Santos Street was closed and allocated as parking for the Ducatisti. Each Ducatista received a We Ride As ONE event shirt, Ducati sticker bundles and gift packs from Shell Advance.

With 54 members present, the Strength in Numbers Award was given to The Monster Club of the Philippines for having the most members in the event.
