Our Story
Where It All Started
Badiding Atbp. was born in Escolta, Manila — one of the oldest streets in the Philippines and a neighbourhood with a proud history of subversion, survival, and reinvention. It felt like the right place to start something queer.
The name says it all: "Badiding" is Filipino slang for a gay man — reclaimed, said loudly, worn as a badge. "Atbp." is "and others," because this brand was never just for one kind of person. It's for everyone who's been told to soften, straighten, or silence themselves. We're here for the loud ones.
What started as a small batch of stickers for friends and community events has grown into a full creative practice — with original designs, limited edition packs, pop-up market appearances, and collaborations that push the work further into the world.
What We Stand For
When queer Filipinos see themselves in art — in their own language, with their own references — it does something. We make work that makes queer Filipinos feel seen, recognized, and celebrated.
Every sticker has a reason to exist. We don't make designs for the sake of it — each piece carries a reference, a punchline, a reclamation, or a declaration that means something to our community.
We show up at markets, events, and pride gatherings — not just to sell, but to be there. Our best ideas come from conversations with people who wear our stickers and make them their own.
What Drives Us
Queer experience isn't a limitation — it's a rich, specific, irreplaceable creative wellspring.
Tagalog, Taglish, slang — we design in the language our people actually speak.
Art shouldn't be precious. Stickers are the most democratic art form — affordable, shareable, everywhere.
From Lemon Drop to fellow market vendors — we lift each other. No gatekeeping here.
StickerCon, Pride Month, community markets — we are physically, consistently present.
How It Happened
A small run of stickers sold at a community market in Manila. Sold out in two hours. The rest, as they say, is history.
@badidingatbp launches on Instagram and quickly builds a community of queer Filipinos who share, tag, and champion the work.
Badiding Atbp. appears at StickerCon for the first time — the country's premier sticker convention — and becomes a fixture at every subsequent event.
A collab with Lemon Drop produces a limited edition set of stickers and prints. It sells out within 48 hours and cements Badiding Atbp.'s place in the Manila creative scene.
With 100+ designs, 3,000+ followers, and a full calendar of events and drops, Badiding Atbp. keeps making art that sticks.
