The final leg began at Panabo City Hall, where riders registered, received their WE DEFY jackets, and gathered for breakfast before the program officially started. Surrounded by blue lights and energized by powerful drumbeats, the riders activated their jackets as the Defy Wall illuminated, symbolizing the unity and individuality of the YCLUB community. After a safety briefing and route orientation, the riders prepared to make their way to Jack’s Ridge in Davao City, with Yamaha Riding Academy (YRA) marshals guiding the groups according to motorcycle category to ensure a safe and coordinated ride.

From Panabo City, the YCLUB riders traveled through the Coastal Road and Bucana Bridge, taking in the morning scenery as they made their way toward Davao City. Upon reaching Jack’s Ridge, the riders gathered for breakfast and had the opportunity to reconnect with fellow Yamaha enthusiasts. A YMPH representative also expressed appreciation to the participants who supported the WE DEFY journey from its first leg in Luzon through Cebu and finally to Mindanao, emphasizing that the campaign’s spirit comes alive through riders who continue to explore, challenge themselves, and create experiences of their own.
