News Wave-a-Bumping

Amianan Motors have always been known for their reliable and durable customized buses and previously, owner-type jeeps. But as the company expanded to branch out as dealer for Kia, Hyundai and Suzuki cars, it has also opened-up Boating World Resort at San Fabian beach, in Nibaliw. The area has mild waves and free of coral stones so that swimmers and sea lovers could frolick without gathering scratches.

Boating World have always been offering speed boat and banana boat rides. But as head honcho Engr. Eduard Quinones crack-up another innovation (from his motors shop), a news wave is out: the release of the Banca-rera series: Solo and Double.

Besides being the first in the world, Banca-rera has so much to offer: affordability (rent the Solo for only P800 per hour or just about $20, lease a month for only about P15,000 or buy one at about P99,999 only, while the Double costs about P1,000 hourly rental, lease for aabout P25,000 and for sale at P150,000), ease of use, convenience and safety.

Prior to the launch, Engr. Quinones and his team subjected the Banca-rera Solo to a safety and endurance test by submerging it, turning it upside down, and mounted by four male adults. But the Banca-rear remained floating, and it should: it is made of imported stainless steel, fiberglass and marine materials to ensure quality and safety. Sailors, from eight years old to above are strapped with lifevest to ensure double safety while on shore. But the Banca-rera is so convenient to use it allows hands-free maneuver, while speed is controllable with the foot accelerator and to stop, simply push a button with fingers.

The Banca-rera solo is for children and ladies eight years old and above (although a rear passenger may be accommodated) while the Banca-rera Double accommodates up to three adults with the speed of a motorboat.

According to Engr. Quinones, a registered civil and sanitation engineer, the Banca-rera allows about an hour or more sailing to the Hundred Islands. And due to its affordability, barkadas or groups may explore the South China sea so much like riding bump cars. And as many riders already claim, this time, sailors bump the waves instead!
