MAYOR Samuel Co showed city residents a glimpse of what it’s like when all the city motorcabs assemble in single file and parade itself around the city proper.
Consuming half the stretch of the three-kilometer F.S. Pajares Avenue from the crossing of Cabrera Street to the Rotunda in Dao, some 2,000 motorcabs lined up, Wednesday, June 17, for documentation and in preparation for its Guinness bid next year.
Roseller Duterte of the Federation of Tricycle Drivers and Operators Association (FETDOA) told journalists in an interview that some 80 percent of their membership attended the motor show along with individual motorcab owners who volunteered to attend the demonstration.
“This is in support of the mayor’s activities of the 40th Araw ng Pagadian for giving importance to the transport sector. This is our show of force and unity,” Duterte said.
Co, accompanied by councilors Arnold Gavenia and Bienvenido Culve, made the pass and review, 9:00 in the morning, and led the motorcade downtown towards the City Oval grounds.
The mayor, in a huddle with mediamen, said that he wants to set a record for the “longest motorcycle show” which he plans to submit to the Guinness World Records.
“Maybe next year atong iplastar and mo-invite ta og mga taga-Manila ug TV crews to document it,” Co said.
According to the Guinness World Record website, an application for a Guinness record can be submitted to them by completing a detailed information form, which they will then register and confirm.
The application requires a period of two months to be processed.
Presently, Guinness has several records for longest bike jump, longest backwards motorcycle ride, longest motorcycle ramp jump and longest motorcycle ride through a tunnel of fire but none for longest motorcycle parade.
