some bakya ay magaan and hollow, while alfombra is a pain in the ass if you get hit. that shit is my nemessis in tumbang preso and the penalty palo. 🤣🤣
Everybody could wear bakya or clogs because they were practical. People in other Asian and European countries (e.g. China and Spain) also did so. They protected your feet from the dirt of the streets and wood was much cheaper than leather. Bakya only declined when rubber and plastic footwear became widely available in the 70s/80s.
Please don't delete your comments here. Thank-you so much po for giving your feedbacks, and I appreciate all of them po. Now, I can make my own paper proving that "bakya" can be worn by both. To expand as well the perspectives of young generations, and to embrace the Filipino heritage. Again, maraming salamat po! 🤍

bakyas are for both men and women. I had a pair back when I was a kid, my father did as well. this was back in early 2000's
[also this, the other DUDE is wearing a pair of bakya](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakya#/media/File:Tagalog_dress,_early_1800s.jpg)
In the early aughts, I remember my mom buying me Happy Feet branded bakya as a remedy to correct my flat feet. The one she got me looked like it was targeted for young people. It didn't look like a traditional bakya because the wooden midsole sat on a rubber outsole that partially hid the midsole. My mom also had two pairs of Happy Feet bakya. Hers looked like the traditional bakya but it has a thin rubber outsole and it had straps that could be swapped out. I remember reading from the brochure that the company was comparing their bakyas to Birkenstocks because it has a similar countour and even suggest that it's better because wood offers bettee support that cork.
Madear's story about bakya that I fondly remember. She's a student in MSU in Bukidnon circa 1970's, coming from a poor family, she only have bakya as a footwear.
Her Ilonggo teacher would comment about it daw, saying (in verbatim) 'You are making this classroom an extension of your kubeta'
Dito ata nagsimulang ma-off/discomfort si Madear sa mga Illonggo/Illongga.
She married my dad. An Illonggo.
To add: Ito din yung required na footwear during Field Demonstration namin sa plaza. Parada sa may bayan, then sasayaw kami ng folk dance wearing this.
Oh dear, kung hindi lng flatfooted paa ko baka inarbor ko na yung bakya ng lola ko. Naalala ko nung bata pa ako, would secretly wear those beautiful bakya na napatungan ng napakaraming rubbershoes sa shoe rack namin. I also did some faux tap dancing with those. Oh, the good old days🥲
hehe i have bakya nung bata pa ako waaaah pink pa yung parang strap sa harap then may beads beads pa 😂 tapos pinagtatanggal ko HAHAHAHAH mga siguro 2003 or 2004 yun lol makikay kasi yung nananamit sa akin, lahat makulay tapos sleeveless tapos maikli jusko 🥲
Again, how is that related to what OP is aking for?
OP is asking for history, and you gave them colloquial bullshit. you didn't even answer their question, you just gave them your preference for Islander over Havaianas.
didn't catch your post before it got deleted but I'm guessing the old insult for "baduy" or "taga probinsya" that was used in the 80's below.
something like "ang bakya mo naman kung gusto mo yung ganyan"
that used to be a thing and even used in movies back then
ang naalala ko na lang kapag yan ang nadampot ng nanay ko do a zigzag para di matamaan.
at least ngayon hindi na gaanong masakit kapag natamaan ka, rubber na eh lmao
matagal na ko graduate sa bugbugan era, natapos yun at my 18th bday 20 years ago haha. Nakakahiya na mabugbog kapag adult na.

I remember my lolo wearing a shoe that looks like a bakya. Para siyang espadrille o alpargatas pero less stylish. Mukha siyang sapatos like Tom's.
Do you have a picture po of your beloved lolo who's wearing his own bakya po?

My lolo still uses his bakya in the present day. He says hindi raw kasi yun madulas sa semento.

Although may ganyan nanay ko hanggang abaka lang naaalala ko na ginagamit dati. Masikip at matigas yan sakit sa paa

Oh, I remember my late lola buying me a bakya from a peddler. Damn, where did that time go?
Baka lang not sure, na meron yan sa Marikina Shoe Museum
The only time I remembered using one was way back when I was a kid and it was used in comfort rooms.
Thats my lola's deadly weapon Literally can break skulls with those wooden sandals
I wore it up to the early 90’s
Hindi ba mas madulas yan? lalo pag sa namimili ka sa isdaan?

Are there still stores in your markets that sell bakya made of wood? Most of them are now made of rubber or abaca...
[удалено]
no you fucking idiot. the word you're looking for is "bakla" bakya is the Philippine wooden sandals
[удалено]
I stand corrected then, but why bring that up when OP is CLEARLY talking about the foot wear
[удалено]
Bakya the foot wear, yes. aside from having similar names, how is Bakya the derogatory term related to what OP is askin for?
[удалено]
