Warning: This project contains mature and sensitive themes such as depression and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

8 out of 100,000 Filipinos commit suicide each year.
Every 40 seconds, a person somewhere in the world successfully commits suicide.
Majority of them are aged 15-29 years old.

Despite the playful name, this podcast was borne out of severe depression and previous suicidal ideation. In what is perhaps our most personal episode yet, The Balut Kiki Project confronts the reality of living every day with a diagnosis of severe clinical depression and the thought of suicide looming constantly and persistently overhead.

It is high time we normalized conversations about mental health and removed the stigma.

It is about time we cared.
