Ride All 18 Regions of the Philippines
Every region of the Philippines has a road worth riding. The Waypoint Passport is a motorcycle passport app for riders who want to see all of them. Ride a region, earn its stamp, and watch your Passport fill up. No fixed route, no set itinerary. You choose where to ride.
A region stamp is earned by a completed ride with at least 5 km inside the region.
You earn each region stamp once, the first time you qualify.
What the Waypoint Passport is
The Passport is where your riding shows up as a collection. Each of the Philippines' 18 regions has its own region stamp. When you earn one, it is yours, and it sits in your Passport as a record of where you have actually ridden. It is not a checklist you tick by scrolling. It is a record of roads you rode.
How you earn a region stamp
A region stamp is earned the first time you complete a ride with at least 5 km of GPS track inside that region.
That is the whole rule, and it is worth reading twice:
- The ride has to be completed. Starting a ride and not finishing it does not count.
- You need at least 5 km inside the region, measured from the GPS track of your ride. Passing through the edge of a region does not count.
- It is first time only. Riding the same region again does not earn a second stamp.
- It is per region. Each region has its own stamp, and one ride can earn more than one if it has 5 km in each.
Ang ibig sabihin: kailangan mong mag-ride talaga sa loob ng region, hindi lang dumaan.

Why 18 regions
The Philippines has 18 administrative regions, counting the Negros Island Region, which was re-established in 2024 under Republic Act 12000. We use the official regions because riders already know them: Region I, CALABARZON, the Cordillera, Bicol, BARMM. Eighteen is enough to be a real goal and few enough that you can finish.
Some regions have well-known riding roads. Others are still quiet and new to most riders. That is the point: Waypoint's destinations list is there to help you find a reason to ride into the next one. Two places to start: the Marilaque ride guide for CALABARZON, and the North Luzon Loop guide for the Cordillera, Ilocos and Cagayan Valley.
Waypoint Passport and the ATPI Philippine Loop
The Philippine Loop is run by Adventure Team Philippines, Inc. (ATPI), which describes it as a tour project to promote the Philippines as a sports and adventure destination. The Classic edition is roughly 5,000 km across 16 regions. Riders pass checkpoints and submit proof of the ride, and ATPI recognised 803 finishers for 2024.
They are different things. The Philippine Loop is a single prescribed route with a fixed set of checkpoints. The Waypoint Passport has no prescribed route: your GPS track stamps a region once a completed ride has 5 km inside it, and you choose the roads, the order and the pace. If you are riding the Philippine Loop, you can use both.
Passport FAQ
Do I have to ride all 18 regions?
No. Every stamp stands alone. Collect one, five or all eighteen.
Does riding through a region count?
Only if the completed ride has at least 5 km of GPS track inside that region. A short crossing at the edge does not earn the stamp.
Can I earn the same stamp twice?
No. A region stamp is awarded the first time you meet the rule for that region.
Do I need to record the ride in Waypoint?
Yes. The stamp is based on the GPS track of a ride you complete in the app.
Is Waypoint free?
Yes. Waypoint is a free app for Philippine riders.
Does the Passport tell me where to ride?
No. It records where you have ridden. To find somewhere new, see the destinations list.
