The Balut Kiki Project
Tuloy lang, mga Bes! We are an international award-winning Filipino podcast by fabulous members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Our goal is to normalize and de-stigmatize conversations that Pinoys generally only talk about in secret - mental health problems (like depression and suicide), sex, sexuality and the human body, non-traditional relationships, among others. "Balut" is a Filipino delicacy consisting of a fertilized developing egg embryo that is boiled and eaten from the shell. So, we aim to make our episodes nutritious though they are not for the faint of heart. While "kiki" is queer slang for a gathering among friends. Kaya we throw in discussions about queer culture and interests - because why not, diba? We are uniquely PINOY. We are unapologetically QUEER. Join your hosts Mel, Geoff, Nealle together with Peter, Morey, Kenny, Choi, and a bevy of other Bessies! Winner, BEST PODCAST HOST, 1st Asia Podcast Festival Awards, Singapore.

76: PWD Rold - LGBTQ+Profiles
Hey Bessie, send us a text message!
MATURE CONTENT WARNING.
Patuloy tayo featuring different queer stories! Meet our bagong Bessie na si ROLD.
Rold is a PWD or a person with disability who uses a wheelchair for his mobility. He insists that people like him deserve to have a positive identity. We heartfully agree!
He is also an education graduate who is on his way to gaining a post-graduate degree and a fabulous member of our queer community!
Alamin natin ang kanyang mga pangarap at kung ano ang ilan sa mga difficulties, pet peeves, and triumphs na unique sa isang queer-PWD living in the Philippines.
Mga Bessies, maraming pulot sa kiki na ito about the dos and don'ts when dealing with PWDs and us, queer people. And who better to help us than somebody who is a certified-Bessie?
Follow Rold on Instagram or Twitter.
PS/
Bes, nandito ka na rin lang, here are some tips when interacting with individuals with disabilities:
- Always ask before you help
- People desire to be independent and treated with respect
- Be respectful about physical contact
- Consider their equipment as part of their personal space
- Think before you speak
- Speak directly to the person
- Never make assumptions
If you read that back again, you might realize that they're just like everybody else!
