BINI, dubbed as the “nation’s girl group,” was selected by Billboard Philippines as the “Rising Stars” for its “Women in Music” event on March 22.
It said that the eight-member group is the first-ever recipient of the prestigious award for the event.
BINI also recently reached a milestone by having their monthly listeners on Spotify reach more than one million users.
The development comes two days after the girl group dropped their first extended play (EP) “Talaarawan,” which is fronted by the key track “Salamin, Salamin.”
According to Star Magic, BINI is short for “Binibini,” the Filipino term for a young lady or a young woman.
The group debuted in 2021 after almost two years of rigorous training under Star Hunt Academy and South Korean training company MU Doctor.
The BINI members are Maloi, Colet Vergara, Mikha Lim, Aiah Arceta, Stacey Sevilleja, Gwen Apuli, Sheena Catacutan and Jhoanna Robles as their team leader.
