    Can or May?
    Yes, you probably can.
    No, you may not. But, then again, most locals don't have any form of license.
    Just don't get caught.

    I would Hazard a guess you will not be able to Hire a Scooter/Motorbike on a Student License if this is your Intention. If she has her own Bike For me, Let here do the Driving, maybe not a Lot Safer but at least she will know where she is Going.

    Unless you’re a well-seasoned motorbike rider, used to driving in heavy, totally unpredictable traffic situations, not to mention right side of the road driving, I’d say you’re asking for trouble, possibly major trouble – and that’s not taking into consideration the legal end of it.Tricycles may not be the coolest form of travel locally, but they are an inexpensive, relatively safe means of visiting the city and countryside. I’m fairly certain some forum members can give you the phone number of a fair, reliable tricycle driver.

    Is that student permit for a motorcycle license? (meaning do you have a regular license for driving a car?)

    If you have a driver's license for a car you can drive a motorcycle here on that legally.

    Btw, I learned to ride a motorcycle in the Philippines. I had never even touched one in the US (and I still have absolutely zero experience driving a motorcycle in the West). You'll be fine, just be very cautious, keep your head on a swivel and never drive after you drink.

    Its very easy and quick to obtain a driving licence from the LTO here, although driving around Dumaguete is something like being at a fun fair on the dodgem cars, not so many people here have the first clue as to how to behave on the roads and that includes many foreigners whom should know better but take the view as when in Rome do as the Romans and drive like clowns.

    I hired and rode a motorcycle in Dumaguete through June and July but we had a friend with us who knew how to avoid the police, I know what riding In Dumaguete Is like.
