“Skylab” in the Philippines is a unique and somewhat infamous mode of transportation in the Philippines, particularly in rural areas.
Unlike the original Skylab, which was the first United States space station launched by NASA, the Filipino skylab is a motorcycle modified to carry an unusual number of passengers.
Typically, this involves attaching wooden planks or metal rods to the sides of the motorcycle, allowing it to accommodate up to ten or more passengers.
This innovative yet precarious form of transport is often employed in regions where road conditions are poor and other transportation options are limited or unavailable.
