The 2025 Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup (HPDC) wrapped up its season at Tarlac Circuit Hill with three tense races that settled the championship and showed how far Honda’s young riders have come.
The final round turned the track into a classroom and a proving ground. Every lap became a test of how much the riders had learned through months of practice, coaching, and setbacks.
Families, friends, and racing fans watched from the sidelines as the grid of red Honda race bikes thundered past, fighting for position through the fast sweepers and tight corners of the circuit.
Across the season, one name kept surfacing at the front of the pack: Ronald Galzote. He underlined that form in Race 10, pulling away from the field to take the win ahead of Joharny “Jolo” Suba in second and Vash Travis Aguilar in third.
In Race 11, Galzote again controlled the pace and crossed the line first, followed by Miguel Dizon and Eunice Mae Sta. Ana. Suba answered back in Race 12 with a strong ride to victory, with Galzote and Aguilar completing the podium.
Those results capped a run of consistent podium finishes for Galzote, enough to secure the 2025 HPDC Overall Championship. The title stands as proof of long days at practice, the backing of his team and family, and the steady support of Honda Philippines Inc. (HPI) and the local racing community.
The HPDC gives promising riders a structured path into competitive motorsports while also serving as a training ground for those who may later race on international stages.
The program focuses on both riding skill and character building, putting emphasis on discipline, sportsmanship, and teamwork, along with lap times.
HPI says the Dream Cup has helped discover and sharpen a new wave of racers by giving them proper coaching, track time, and exposure to real race conditions.
At the same time, it lets the company showcase technology developed from racing that eventually finds its way into Honda motorcycles on the road.
The Honda Pilipinas Dream Cup has turned a simple love of motorcycles into a real shot at a racing future.
