Transcycle (Gentrade International Phils., Inc.) is redefining what it means to be a motorbike dealership by expanding its role beyond selling motorcycles to becoming a trusted government partner that helps make public services more accessible while promoting safer and more responsible mobility for Filipino communities.
This vision took a major step forward as Transcycle and the Land Transportation Office Region XI (LTO XI) officially signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), making Transcycle the primary accredited motorcycle dealership partner of the LTO XI PASADA Project (Promoting Accessible and Sustainable Assistance for Drivers Advancement).
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to bringing essential government transportation services closer to the general public through stronger public-private collaboration. Greater than a dealership initiative, it demonstrates how the private sector can actively support government agencies in delivering meaningful public service while fostering a culture of road safety and legal compliance.
The MOA Signing Ceremony was held on the LTO Region XI Sky Gym in Davao City and was attended by LTO Region XI officials led by Regional Director Atty. Ernesto Raphael V. Robillo, along with OIC Assistant Regional Director Joel Mandaya, Administrative Division Chief Malou Narca, CPA, division chiefs, district heads, and other key officials. Representing Transcycle were Chief Executive Officer Matthew Siy Cha, Chief Operating Officer Rubilyn M. Macalintal, Documentation and Records Management Head Ma. Riza P. Legaspi, Marketing Head Roma P. Ramirez, and Business Unit Operations Manager for Visayas and Mindanao Gaudencio Galiza, Jr.
Under the partnership, LTO XI and Transcycle will conduct outreach initiatives and repair caravans that bring government services on to communities. These include FREE Theoretical Driving Courses (TDC), Student Permit Issuance, Driver’s License Renewal, and Motor Vehicle Registration Renewal, making essential transportation services more convenient and accessible for Filipino motorists.
In the course of the ceremony, LTO Region XI Regional Director Atty. Ernesto Raphael V. Robillo emphasized that the partnership goes beyond the signing of an agreement and reflects a shared commitment to protecting lives through responsible motoring.
“Road safety just isn’t an accident; it’s a commitment.”
He stressed that the collaboration goals to cultivate disciplined drivers, promote legal compliance, and make sure that every Filipino family can confidently expect their family members to return home safely after every journey.
Echoing the identical commitment, Matthew Siy Cha, Chief Executive Officer of Transcycle, underscored the corporate’s vision of promoting sustainable growth alongside road safety.
“It is simple to sell motorcycles. The real challenge is selling motorcycles sustainably, with the security of our customers all the time in mind. Through our partnership with the Land Transportation Office under the PASADA Project, we’re committed to meeting that challenge by promoting road safety, legal compliance, and responsible motoring, while bringing safety education closer to the communities we serve,” said Siy Cha.
He added that the partnership represents greater than a business milestone, it’s a commitment to helping construct safer communities by making government services and road safety education more accessible to each Filipino rider.
