This May, builders, artists and dreamers unite under one roof

This weekend, May 24 to 25, the Filinvest Tent in Alabang becomes the center of Filipino custom motorcycle culture. Nearly 100 custom builds will battle it out in a celebration of craftsmanship, creativity and community.

Kustomanila isn’t just a show—it’s a movement. With guest judges flying in from Malaysia and Taiwan, and a coveted pass to Art of Speed Malaysia up for grabs, the event bridges local talent with global recognition. The event will also bring in two prominent kustom motorcycle builders from Malaysia and Taiwan.

At the heart of the spotlight is the Yamaha PG-1—a rugged, retro-inspired dual-sport machine that’s quickly becoming a favorite in the custom scene. With its minimalist frame, the PG-1 is the perfect blank slate for builders to unleash their imagination. This year, five local garages—Club Makina Customs, Motoyaki Customs, HB Customs, Noname Garage, and 1008 Moto Garage—will unveil their boldest PG-1 transformations yet.

Kustomanila is more than just about motorcycles; it’s about building a thriving, collaborative ecosystem where passion meets purpose. See you this weekend at the Filinvest Tent!
