<p>BINI Colet admitted that there was a time when she almost gave up on her BINI dream.</p><p>In an interview with Melai Cantiveros on the Bisaya talk show <em>Kuan On One</em>, Colet disclosed that it was during her trainee days in BINI when she almost quit.</p><p>&quot;Gusto ko na talaga huminto... Naisip ko tumigil dahil sa pagod at malayo ako sa pamilya ko,&quot; she recalled.</p><p>Colet&#x27;s family lives in Bohol so she was away from home while she was in training. &quot;Ako tuwing Pasko lang ako nakakauwi. Buti &#x27;yung iba malapit lang ang pamilya nila. Pwede silang bisitahin ng kanilang nanay. Kailangan pa natin mag-eroplano. Sa sobrang hirap, gusto ko na talagang huminto,&quot; Colet shared. </p><p>The singer also recounted that the trainings were difficult during that time. &quot;Nag-Korean training kami sa PBB [house], three months. Aside sa Korean training sa morning meron kaming Filipino coaches,&quot; she relayed. </p><div><iframe width="1196" height="673" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KdO3Khe0xtg" title="BINI Colet: " Mao="" to="" ang="" pinaka-intense="" na="" nanabo="" sa="" akong="" KUAN="" ON="" Full="" Ep="" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>The singer went on: &quot;Sinabi ko na sa nanay ko na, &#x27;Uuwi na ako ma. Hindi ko na &#x27;to kaya.&#x27; Tapos walang kasiguraduhan dahil nag-shutdown ang [ABS-CBN]. Feeling namin na isa kami sa matatanggal. So wala talagang kasiguraduhan,&quot; she said.</p><p>Despite the challenges, what gave Colet the courage to push through?</p><p>&quot;Naisip ko na lang na masasayang ang lahat ng efforts ko kung huminto ako. &#x27;Yun ang tumakbo sa isip ko. Nag-desisyon akong ipagpatuloy na lang at kayanin ang training dahil kaya nga ng ibang tao. Kinaya rin ng mga kasama ko. Nakita ko na kaya naman talaga,&quot; she remarked.</p><p>When asked what BINI song she can relate to her journey, Colet remarked that it would have to be her self-written song &quot;8.&quot;</p><p>The singer shared that she originally wrote &quot;8&quot; as a graduation song when she was in high school.</p><p>&quot;&#x27;Yung kanta na &#x27;yun bago pa kami naging BINI sinulat ko na ang kantang &#x27;yun. Grade 8 ata ako nun. Basta high school ako nun ng sinulat ko&#x27; yun na kanta at hindi ako makapaniwala na na-release ko siya sa BINI,&quot; she said.</p><p>She tweaked the song a bit when it was released as a track for BINI. &quot;Binago ko na kasi graduation song siya dapat nung una kong sinulat. Ni-revise ko siya ng konti,&quot; she stated.</p><p>Colet shared that &quot;8&quot; now signifies the 8 members of BINI.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/C9RheYgJLeE/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=450&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A2791494%2C%22ls%22%3A22241%2C%22le%22%3A22593%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="722" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>BINI has recently achieved numerous milestones in their career.</p><p>Their latest track &quot;Cherry On Top&quot; already reached 10 million views on YouTube.</p><p>On the first day of its release, in less than 24 hours, the song also hit 1 million Spotify streams.
