Introducing the Philippine Bear Community (PBC) — a community-driven collective founded in August 2024, dedicated to representing, uplifting, and connecting individuals who identify as part of the bear community in the Philippines and beyond! 🇵🇭
Happy International Pronouns Day!
Using the pronouns people give us is a small way to show respect. Share yours if you like, ask when you're unsure, and if you slip, apologize, correct, and move on. 🐻

There's a notion that if you don't go to events, you're not part of the community. It isn't true.
Events are one way to connect, not the entry requirement. 🧵
#BeyondEvents #PhilippineBearCommunity #PBC #BearCommunity
You're part of the community whether you attend every event, one, or none. Where are you from?
Know a bear group, event, or bear-owned business outside Manila? Tell us below.

Introducing our pillars: Living a Full Life, in the most literal and figurative sense.
A balance of body, mind, purpose, joy, and self-love, and it won't look the same for everyone. 🧵

Why you do it matters.
Chasing a number on the scale, a physique, or a status can cost you your health, peace, and joy.
Take care of yourself so you can live the good life you deserve.
What do you think is the key to living a full life?

We continued our chat with Zee where he shared the kind of friends he'd avoid, whether or not he's a call-out queen, and what he'd do if he discovers that his friends create a secret group chat that doesn't include him.

Today is Spirit Day. 💜
We wear purple to show support for LGBTQ+ youth and stand against bullying.
A kind word or a check-in can matter more than we know.
Be someone's safe person.

Introducing our pillars: Inclusivity.
Within the bear community, and well beyond it. Saying "everyone's welcome" is the easy part. Making room is the work. 🧵
#Inclusivity #PhilippineBearCommunity #PBC #BearCommunity
Inclusion is giving someone a chance: to be seen, heard, and befriended. It goes both ways: newcomers choose too, and old-timers can be receptive.
We'll keep advocating for everyone to get one.
Who made you feel welcome first? Tag them below.

We talked to Volley Bears member Zee (@ glecerbautista on IG) about friendships: whether he thinks he’s a good friend, which Spice Girl he thinks he is, and which celebrity he would like to be friends with 👯

Introducing one of PBC’s pillars: Body Respect. Treating every body with dignity, not judgment. Attraction is a bonus. Respect is the default. 🧵

You can't read health, habits, or worth from someone's body, and this community was built by bodies that didn't fit the mold. What does respecting a body look like to you? Drop it below.

What is “the community,” really?
Long before it had a name, people were already building it — one bar, group chat, house party at a time. That’s the real glue, and the good far outweighs the noise.
Describe it in one word. 🧵
