Beki Commandments
We Should All Live By

The gay community in the Philippines is one worthy of international acclaim. Really, what other country in the world can say that mainstream culture has adopted a dialect the way we have with Bekinese? As the home of the first gay pride parade in Asia, we have one of the most outspoken and dynamic gay communities despite being a predominantly Catholic country. Although gays in the country are still deprived of basic human rights that the anti-discrimination bill addresses, they’ve still found a way to persevere with dignity intact.

Just like any other functioning community, our beki friends also have a pre-determined set of rules (much like the bro code) that, while unspoken, all members of their circle respect and adhere to. Or else.

8. The Grace Period

If heteros have the three-month rule about break ups, our beks have the one-week rule. Why deprive yourself, diba?

7. The Walang Basagan Rule

Beks have a rule of letting fellow queens do what they want without any hate—something we should all take to heart. Walang basagan ng trip, beh.

6. The Light of Day Rule

‘Wag kang kumagat agad, ate gurl! No matter how much beer you’ve had for the night, make sure you give yourself the best fish and hipon the ocean (or pond) has to offer.

5. The Wag Kang Chaka Rule

Bekinese is a weapon, use it wisely. Although a lot of heteros take pride in speaking the dialect fluently, kumares in the bekihood have way more in their beki-bulary.

4. Beks Before Sex

Beks before sex is exactly like bros before hoes—it just sounds a lot better. Always remember: Boys come and go but sisterakas are forever.

3. Dragona Mode

Unbeknownst to most, there is more to baduchis than meets the eye. They are far more than the token best friend or comic relief stereotype we see in Pinoy entertainment. Beks have a rule about moderating their dragona mode, having learned to tolerate those who try to put them in a box. Don’t go around spewing stereotypes lest you unleash their inner dragona mode.

2. Thou Shall Not Covet Another Beki’s Jowa, Kebs?

This rule has three sub-rules all beks should respect: No touching, no landi, no abangers on another bek’s jowa, getching? Bakuran mo na kung seryoso ka sa simula pa lang, atey. Pero yung totoo, love nga ba talaga ‘yan? O may habol kang ibey?

1. The Malayo Sa Bituka Rule

Puso lang ‘yan, mamita, malayo sa bituka! Hindi mo ikamamatay yang hugot mo. Maiinlove ka ulit next week, tiwala lang. Sa ganda mong yan. PAK!
