Jonathan Cellona, ABS-CBN NewsFor Miks Marquez, 28, and a newly-acclaimed Bloom, her purchases were worth it given the quality of the products.</div>&quot;I&#x27;m happy [that] there are more options, more stuff, and the quality and the prices—super affordable,&quot; she said.She purchased every item on sale and spent at least P10,000 on merchandise today.  Marquez&#x27;s favorite purchase is the Bini bayong, a tote bag made of sustainable materials. She was able to have it spray-painted as offered to every customer who bought 5 bags.Her mother, also an avid Bloom, accompanied her from 8:30 in the morning. &quot;She has merch din here, so matching po kami,&quot; Marquez said.Marquez shared that she and her mother often go to BINI events together. They look forward to attending all dates of the Grand BINIverse, starting this Saturday.She further explained that her experience this time was better than her past purchases. &quot;Unahan again, as usual. It (online queueing) was pretty smooth compared to before. Today (onsite queueing), was easier than expected kasi they allotted a lane for seniors and PWD,&quot; she said.In less than a year of getting into the BINI craze, Marquez has had four permanent tattoos relating to the group. She also produces TikTok content about the overall Bloom experience.Marquez said that purchasing the merchandise is her way of making up for her absence during the first few years since the group&#x27;s debut. &quot;I found out they&#x27;ve been active since 2021, so I felt bad. Sayang, I missed so much events,&quot; said Marquez.Joe Mallari, 33, a software engineer and a TikTok content creator who mostly uploads BINI updates, shared that he waited in queue for online registration just to purchase the merch he&#x27;s been eyeing.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/173155905063720241113-blooms-bini-merch-JC-5.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"/>Joe Mallari talks to ABS-CBN on November 13, 2024.

Kaya ang sarap bumili and for sure magagamit mo rin talaga siya,&quot; he explained.He will be attending the last day of the three-day BINIverse concert.&quot;Pahirapan talaga if ang goal mo is mga VIP, parang lulusot ka talaga sa butas ng karayom kasi gano&#x27;n na talaga sila kabigtime. Naalala ko pa last concert nila sa New Frontier, nag-announce sila ng concert. Day 1 pa lang &#x27;yon, hindi ako nag-abang kasi hindi ko ineexpect na sold out siya,&quot; he shared.Wearing his army uniform, Master Sergeant Dennis Borbon became a standout in the crowd of blooms.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/173155925943620241113-blooms-bini-merch-JC-4.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px"/>Master Sergeant Dennis Borbon said he does not mind the long lines as he is doing it for his daughter.
