Sikad Ng Bayan: Riding To Rebuild A Nation
In 2006, a group of cycling enthusiasts and Gawad Kalinga advocates got together and organized
the 1st Sikad Ng Bayan Fun Ride to raise funds for Gawad Kalinga in the Philippines.
"Sikad Ng Bayan" means "Pedaling for the Nation". This
1st Sikad Fun Ride was a success with more than 80 participants who enjoyed the 70-mile bike ride
from El Dorado Park, Long Beach to Huntington Beach and back. All the proceeds of this 1st Sikad
Fun Ride went to the construction of the Gawad Kalinga Sibol School in Calabanga, Camarines Sur. A
Sibol School is a pre-school learning center for the children of the beneficiaries/families within that GK Village.
In 2007, the 2nd Sikad Ng Bayan Fun Ride was again held this time starting at the
Yorba Regional Park, Anaheim, all the way to Seal Beach and back, with more than 160 participants enjoying
the 70-mile bike ride. All the proceeds of this 2nd fun ride went to the construction of the GK Sibol School in
Gravahan, Davao Del Norte in the Philippines.
On April 26, 2008, join the 3rd Sikad Ng Bayan Fun Ride at the Yorba Linda Regional Park in Anaheim, CA. Ride
