MANILA, Philippines — The “Nation’s Girl Group” BINI is set to hold a repeat of the “Grand BINIverse” concert, which is slated on Feb. 15, 2025 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan. They will also release another single next year called Blink Twice.

These developments thrilled audiences at their recent “Grand BINIverse” concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, particularly on the last and third day when these were announced.

What also added to the excitement to the concert were the performances from the star-studded roster of guest performers, including Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano; Maymay Entrata; Regine Velasquez-Alcasid; and drag stars Eva Le Queen, Hana Beshie, Maxie, Angel, Precious Paula Nicole, Viñas Deluxe, Popstar Bench during Day 1 — which The STAR attended — of BINI’s three-night event on Nov. 16, 18, and 19 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Vice Ganda shows up on the second day of the ‘Grand BINIverse’ concert.

Vice Ganda also showed up on Day 2 of the concert.

Maymay staged a powerful act of Puede Ba and Amakabogera in her sparkling silver gown. She also congratulated the Nation’s Girl Group for their career milestones.

“I just want to congratulate BINI. Makahilak kaayo pero ako ay sobrang masayang-masaya (I felt like crying but I’m very happy),” said Maymay on being part of BINI’s journey. “Thank you all, and thank you, BINIverse.”

Next up was Gary V who joined Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena in Diyan Ka Lang and Di Bale Na Lang.

Stacey shared that Gary V was one of the people who first believed in them as artists during their early days.

Regine Velasquez-Alcasid performs with BINI. She also has some pieces of advice for the girls on coping with anxiety.

“When BINI was just starting out, I saw them in ‘ASAP’ kung gaano sila magbigay ng todo-todo even in their rehearsal,” Gary V told the crowd. “I was just sitting there, watching them and observing their dedication in what they do. So, I want to say that I’m very blessed in my lifetime that I still get to work with the No. 1 all-female P-pop group in the Philippines, BINI.”

He went on to congratulate the girls for winning the Best Asia Act award at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards. “It’s amazing how much they accomplished so far.”

Another guest performer was Regine.

“Ever since na nagsisimula pa lang kaming BINI ‘pag tinatanong kami sa interview sino ang gusto niyong maka-collab, Ms. Regine Velasquez po,” Jhoanna recalled. Well, it happened that night as BINI got to perform with Regine the track Na Na Nandito Lang.

“Kasi ako nga si BINI Reg. Haha!” declared Regine.

“Sobrang nakaka-wow na kasama namin kayo ngayon, idol po kayo ng nanay ko,” Stacey said with a laugh.

“May problem ba tayo?” quipped Regine. “It’s my pleasure to be here. It’s wonderful honor to be part of your show.”

Regine furthered that she had a session with BINI and got to talk with them. She mentioned “experiencing anxiety once in a while” and offered some reminders about such a topic.

“We feel the blues. It’s something that we need to experience because if we don’t experience sadness, how would we know that we’re happy? The important thing to remember is that it’s temporary, it will end. And one of the things that I would like to say is you just need yourself to heal and let the sadness or the anxiety pass because it will just pass.”

BINI also delivered a lively and energetic dance showdown with Filipina drag stars Eva Le Queen, Hana Beshie, Maxie, Angel, Precious Paula Nicole, Viñas Deluxe, Popstar Bench and gamely took on the “alarma” challenge.

BINI will hold a repeat of the “Grand BINIverse” concert slated for Feb. 15, 2025, at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan. They will also release another single next year called Blink Twice.
