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.

Kilalanin natin sa project na ito si Bes MATT ALEA, executive director ng Transmasculine Philippines, a community-based organization for Filipino transmen and transmasculine non-binary folks. Get to know the hardships that transmasculine people go through in a country where queer individuals are othered, discriminated against, misunderstood, and sidelined. Matt shares his journey realizing he is trans, coming out to his family, difficulties landing a job, or finding true love while coming to terms with his individuality.
