Before their flight to Dubai, the girl group held a “quiet send-off” at ABS-CBN’s Chapel of Annunciation, taking a moment to reflect. 

While in Dubai, the eight girls also visited the office of renowned Filipino fashion designer Michael Cinco. They also made appearances at radio shows and entertainment outlets.

BINI is composed of members Gwen Apuli, Aiah Arceta, Sheena Catacutan, Mikha Lim, Maloi Ricalde, Jhoanna Robles, Stacey Sevilleja and Colet Vergara. 

The group was formed in 2019 through ABS-CBN’s Star Hunt Academy. They rose to fame with their hits “Pantropiko,” “Salamin, Salamin” and “Lagi,” among others.  /ra
