++CLIENTS PLEASE NOTE: THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN LOOPED AND EDITED++

A Filipino family of four was filmed riding a motorbike modified to carry extra passengers on wooden planks.

While the father was riding pillion, his wife sat to the right of him holding a baby in her arms. Their teenage son was on his right, and behind him was a pile of bamboo wicker bags.

The modification — banned in cities but common in some parts of the countryside — is known locally as ‘habal-habal’, said onlooker Michael Ampatuan.

He said: “Habal-habal is more popular in the rural areas where there are no proper roads which makes it harder for bigger vehicles to enter. It's a convenient way of carrying many people but it's also risky.''

It was filmed in North Cotabato in the Philippines on 25 July.
