BINI has been on everyone’s lips as of late, and for good reason. The most listened-to artist on Spotify Philippines right now has achieved a level of success unlike any other. The girl group didn’t just capture the cultural zeitgeist, they practically made it a BLOOM. But aside from their hit songs, killer performances, charming personalities, always putting their fans’ safety first, and being the queens of dogshow, BINI has also endeared themselves to many thanks to how they have used their platform to speak up.
While it could be expected that BINI should just keep their head down and focus on their work, the girls are more than that. Scroll down for some of our favorite times BINI was unapologetic about using their platform for the greater good.
REMINDING US THAT ANG BUHAY AY ‘DI KARERA
While BINI is known for their love songs, the group has also used their music to share relevant themes that resonate with the youth. Case in point: Karera. Aside from being a certified bop, Karera hits home with its all-too-important message of realizing that life should not be turned into a career. In a time when everything feels so fast-paced, the song is here to tell us that there’s no need to treat everything like a competition. BINI teaches us to slow down, chill, and appreciate life for what it is. There’s a reason why this song has been used in so many graduation ceremonies this year.
BEING AN ALLY TO THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
🐥: “tinanong po kami ng management if willing po kaming ituloy ‘to and kami po mismo nagsabing yes. go na go po kami for june 22 po sa pride month, lalo na po ito ‘yung regalo namin kasi it’s their month. mahal na mahal po namin ang community na ‘to”

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH #BINI pic.twitter.com/18E9viEFru
BINI’s support for the LGBTQIA+ community goes beyond simple lip service. Over the years, the group has made it known that they are proud allies of the community. From consuming queer media, going to and performing at drag shows, headlining QC’s Pride celebration despite their busy schedule, Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi being seen as a queer love song, and holding and waving the Pride flag at events, BINI doesn’t miss in their allyship. The group is showing how accepting and progressive the modern binibini is.
CLAPPING BACK AT HATERS
choice ko na tuparin pangarap ng mom ko and i think there’s nothing wrong naman with that. never ako nag-reklamo kasi kahit ako ginusto ko yun and that’s a major flex. i love my mom.

Don’t let BINI’s sweet and charming persona fool you. When you cross a line, they will make it known. Just look at when Stacey called out a netizen who tried to shame her for helping her mom finish her studies. As she should. While bashers are part and parcel of being in the public eye, the girls won’t hesitate to speak up when a boundary is crossed.
WHEN THEY SHUT DOWN QUESTIONABLE FAN BEHAVIOR
Wag nyo na pong problemahin ang hindi ko naman problema🤍
— GWEN APULI (@bini_gwen) June 20, 2024
Idol image who? Just like you, the members of BINI are also people who deserve their own space. So when some fans try it and step on their boundaries, the girls are more than willing to call out their behavior. From Gwen telling a netizen to mind their business about Aiah, Colet asking people to stop sharing her baby photos and dragging a user on X, Mikha letting a fan know that she didn’t get a nose job, Maloi asking a fan to change their username on TikTok since it’s too similar to hers, and more, the girls will call bs on messy behavior when they have too, and they’re so real for that.
STANDING UP FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE’S RIGHTS
@ehcelhurns BAKA @Jhoanna Robles ‘YAN!!! MASS LEADER SI ANTE! 💪🏻 @BINI PH #BINI #jhoannarobles #binijhoanna #defendthedefenders #defendancestrallands ♬ original sound – Ehcel Hurna – E G G S Y
Who says P-pop idols are supposed to stay silent on issues facing the country? During their set at the UP Fair, which, more than just being a concert, has always been a venue to highlight issues and advocacies, Jhoanna used the moment to talk about national minorities, the struggles they face obtaining necessities, and implored the audience to do their part in learning more about IP rights and how to help them. Spoken like a true leader who’s aware of what’s going on in the country.
CALLING OUT HARASSMENT
@blueststudios colet being protective kay aiah, naka palda kasi si aiah tapos may bumabastos kaya lumipat nalang sila ng pwesto #bini #biniph #binicolet #biniaiah #colaiah #fyp ♬ Salamin, Salamin – BINI
Even though it’s 2024, many women still face harassment and disrespect in public, and that’s something BINI has sadly faced as well. But the girls aren’t the one, two, or three to be messed with, like the time when Colet was live and noticed that a group of men were looking at Aiah’s legs, so they decided to go somewhere else. The members will always be there to protect each other and also serve as a reminder that we should never excuse or accept disrespectful behavior.
INSPIRING THEIR FANS TO DO OUTREACH
“Nag outreach kayo? Ito yung gusto kong gawin eh”
— BINI MIKHA OFC (@BiniMikhaOFC) November 8, 2023
Mikha is truly a woman of pure soul, and giving is just one of her heart’s desires. With pride and pleasure, we share to you this year’s project MIKH-A DIFFERENCE S3 ❤️

We love it whenever a fandom uses their collective powers for the greater good. Mikha has made it known that she would love to do an outreach program someday. When her fans heard that, they said “bet” and organized their own outreach programs in Mikha’s name. Understandably, when Mikha heard about it, she shed tears for the heartwarming gesture. And that’s on inspiring your fans to be a positive change in society.
