The sentence mixes past and present tense forms. 'have' should be past 'had' to match 'didn't have' and 'used to'; 'visit' should be past 'visited'; 'we love' should be past 'we loved'. Consistent past tense is required when describing habitual actions in childhood. Suggestions: keep verbs describing past events in past tense (had, visited, loved), break the long run-on sentence into shorter sentences, and replace '1' with the word 'one'.
× Yes, I would say that bicycles are popular in the Philippines nowadays people use it for umm going to work.
✓ Yes, I would say that bicycles are popular in the Philippines. Nowadays people use them for going to work.
The plural subject 'bicycles' requires the plural pronoun 'them', not 'it'. Also the original is a run-on; it needs a sentence break after 'the Philippines'. Suggestion: match pronoun number to its antecedent and separate independent clauses into sentences or use correct conjunctions.
× They use it to deliver deliver foods or services to other people instead of using motorcycles and nowadays, since the.
✓ They use them to deliver food or provide services to other people instead of using motorcycles.
Problems: repeated word 'deliver deliver'; 'foods' is usually uncountable as 'food'; pronoun should be 'them' for plural 'bicycles'; the clause ends abruptly 'since the.' which is incomplete and must be removed or completed. Suggestion: remove repetition, use uncountable 'food' or 'meals', use 'them' to agree with 'bicycles', and avoid unfinished clauses.
