"Nakakatuwa kasi I've seen them grow, I've seen the hardship na pinaghirapan talaga nila ito," she said.
As someone who was also once part of a dancing girl group called GirlTrends, Chie can relate to the journey of the young girl group.
She is also happy that P-pop, through groups like BINI, is now slowly making its presence felt in the international stage.
"Ako 'yung parang proud ate for them. Kasi finally may platform na ang P-pop. And nashe-share 'yung kultura natin sa ibang bansa and nakikita natin kung gaano kasikat 'yung BINI ngayon," the actress added.
Last month, P-pop groups BINI and G22 guested on the Chinese idol survival series "Show It All," where they showcased their singing and dancing skills to a live audience.
