This is more than a competition—it's a moment. We're here to reframe and reclaim the grandeur of traditional Filipino pageantry through a queer, diasporic lens. Honouring our culture while shaking it up!
We acknowledge this event is being held on stolen land. We pay respects to the traditional owners of this land, the Wangal and Gadigal people. Sovereignty Was Never Ceded. 

Bading Thing focuses on centering the whole Filipinx baranGAY (trans/GNC/enby/queer) and broader BIPOC experience first and foremost.
