A clever driver modified his motorcycle to drive through the floods without being drenched.

Footage captured by Jerico Garcia Limpin shows the rider stepping onto the towering tricycle before driving across the narrow road in Pampanga, Philippines.

The head-turning vehicle with a sidecar, complete with a welded customised frame, suspension, left residents in awe as it passed by on August 5.

Despite the waterlogged street, the motorist maneuvered freely without being splashed by the filthy water.

The Philippines and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries are entering their annual monsoon season, marked by soaring temperatures followed by intense rainstorms.

The region's low-lying geography, inadequate drainage systems, and rapid urbanisation make it especially vulnerable to flooding.

Limited infrastructure often struggles to handle the heavy rainfall, resulting in widespread flash floods.
