Bakunawa was born from a simple belief: Filipino climbers deserve a brand they can truly call their own.

Over the years, several local climbing brands have helped support the community, primarily through competition apparel and national team uniforms. Their contributions have been invaluable. Yet many Filipino climbers still long for something more—a brand that reflects not just how we climb, but who we are.

Bakunawa exists to fill that space.

Through carefully curated seasonal drops, Bakunawa celebrates the unique identity of Filipino climbers and shares our voice with the global climbing community. Every collection draws inspiration from our culture, our stories, our humor, and the values that continue to drive climbing forward in the Philippines.

Our inaugural collection is rooted in something every Filipino understands: laughter.

Climbers of every generation will recognize the humor woven into these designs. Life in the Philippines can be challenging enough—why should climbing, whether as a sport, passion, recreation, or gathering of friends, be any different? We believe the climbing community should be a place where hard sends and good laughs go hand in hand.

So laugh with us. Celebrate the culture. Wear the story.

And if you’re taking yourself a little too seriously… maybe it’s time to loosen up and enjoy the climb.
