This is the amusing moment a biker struggled to ferry his friend across a deluge during a storm in the Philippines.

Footage shows the cyclist and his passenger battling through rippling floods while rain battered Quezon City in Metro Manila on September 23.

As the two-wheeler failed to stay steady, the pair decided to just walk through the water instead.

Onlooker Telle said: 'The video was taken at Timog Avenue. It rained really hard, but the storm didn't stop us from having our lunch of pork blood stew.'

The Philippines and neighbouring countries in Southeast Asia are in their annual monsoon rainy season which sees soaring temperatures followed by powerful rain storms in the afternoon leading to widespread flash floods.
