’90s Kabaklaan is ready for mature roles—like expanding queer identity through archiving | via nolisoliph
Christian San JoseThe page has more celebrity tea than Instagram can handle, from ’90s drama to post-2022 election unfollowing kerfuffle. Plus, the whole deal about its admin being anon
In this interview, he dishes out about his archiving process, the page’s appeal to Filipino Americans reliving their youth, going beyond the gloss of magazines, and a look into the next iterations of the pages—2000s Kabaklaan, anyone?Thank you ah. Pwede palang off-cam. My last interview kasi hindi sinabi na pwede pala so nakita mukha ko doon.Because of work. I don’t think I have something to gain, I have something to lose pa sa work.When everything opened in late 2022, nagresume yong work.
My first exposure was really noong bumibili ako ng Funny Comics. 8 or 9 years old ako noon. Katabi nya kasi yong mga magazines na showbiz and then nakikita ko na yong Chika Chika. I would buy those along with Solid Gold/song hits. Noong lumaki yong page, third or fourth month, nakakareceive ako either photos or donations. There was this one, binenta nya collection ng ex nya who died. Kakaloka. Pinapapickup ko lang kasi baka sabihin nila magbibigay sila pero in exchange pakita ko mukha ko ganon. Okay naman sa kanila.
Then tinignan ko yong demographic ko, a quarter don’t even live in the Philippines. Out of that, 20 percent are Americans. I would get messages like, “Uy, uuwi ako, magbabakasyon ako. I would love to meet you.” It started with self-awareness, to be honest, because the page started out as—I wouldn’t say shallow, but it was something sobrang direct lang sya. Walang point of view at all. Then naisip ko kasi yong handle is Kabaklaan. There’s so much more you can explore. So I thought of yong Pride series, an archive of videos and what life is for a bakla in the ’90s.
I also wanted it to be a reflection of who follows the page. Nagstart doon sa diaspora community and then yong grupo ni Mike Lavarez—sya kasi yong [nagspread ng word about 90s Kabaklaan] sa mga friends nya and then creatives, and then lumawak na to fashion to showbiz. That’s why I added music, memes, showbiz, and print ads kasi andaming nagpafollow na ahensyang bakla.
Siguro that’s just her na talagang dedma, and some parang ‘di kaya so they would unfollow and I respect that.Ah, this was his photo in Speedos when he was modeling?
