Eight exceptional talents. Hundreds of hardworking staff. Fifty-five thousand Blooms in attendance. The largest indoor arena in the country. </p><p>On February 15, <strong>Maloi</strong>, <strong>Mikha</strong>, <strong>Aiah</strong>, <strong>Jhoanna</strong>, <strong>Colet</strong>, <strong>Gwen</strong>, <strong>Stacey</strong>, and <strong>Sheena</strong> joined the very short list of artists who have so far held sold-out shows in Guinness World Records’ largest mixed-use theater in the world—not to mention, being the FIRST Filipino act to do so. (The concert was also streamed live on iWantTFC to additional audiences across the world. #TeamBahay)</p><p>And that was just the beginning. It was another emotional night for Team BINI and Blooms alike as OT8 conquered their biggest stage yet. From 50 or so fans watching their shows three years ago to 55,000 flocking to the Philippine Arena? They did that. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739749203022479405071_18487184464047908_2384083746974026853_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p><strong>Metro.Style</strong> continues to follow our <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/people/digital-covers/bini-on-the-cover-of-metro-35th-anniversary-issue/39245" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">November cover girls’</a> next moves along with thousands of fans who filled the arena with their love for OT8.

Stacey and Aiah, Maloi and Jhoanna, Colet and Sheena, and Gwen and Mikha brought their Grand BINIverse pairings onto their Philippine Arena stage and made these performances even bigger and bolder. The girls oozed even stronger chemistry in each production, even Blooms at home surely saw and felt it.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739756465108479715568_18487178593047908_3519183731467217983_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Aiah and Stacey</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739756535908478123891_18487179010047908_6666512111249418374_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Maloi and Jhoanna</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739756602370478128511_18487181824047908_2693160355989829120_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner" spellcheck="false">Colet and Sheena<br/><br style="text-align:center"/></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align:center"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739756714168479038105_18487180423047908_1534062274961264112_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">Mikha and Gwen</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>3. <strong>The <em>Born To Win</em> songs on the setlist.</strong> They’ve definitely come a long way with hit-making<em> Talaarawan</em>, but it was such a treat for OG Blooms to see their idols perform <em>Born To Win</em> era songs—“Golden Arrow” and “Kinikilig” among them—on their biggest stage yet.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757395709480055073_18487184521047908_1761780212195111862_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>4. <strong>The first live performance of “Blink Twice.” </strong>A perfectly timed release, this new hit is undeniably a sister to “Cherry On Top,” another fun and bubbly all-English number they get to perform for their international stops ahead. But, of course, Pinoy Blooms got to see it first. (Mikha’s rap verses hit even harder live!)</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757424452478633817_18487188820047908_1266155498849741244_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGI4KcWTE7e/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=971&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A5052793.400000006%2C%22ls%22%3A655579.700000003%2C%22le%22%3A655875.5%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="963" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" 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></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>5. <strong>BINI declaring that they are ready for the global stage.</strong> After receiving their trophy from the MTV European Music Awards for Best Asia Act, BINI leader Jhoanna fearlessly declared they’re ready to take the risk and show the world what they’ve got in the next stops of their tour. Didn’t they say, “No Fear”? They sure did.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757533675479696352_18487169035047908_421648504981882960_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>6. <strong>That preview of their upcoming EP!</strong> The secret’s out, and it’s all over social media.

As their venues become larger, it becomes harder for them to reach all the Blooms until General Admission, but this number proved how BINI treasures their growing fandom—by going the extra mile (running in heels, we might add) to be closer to the people who helped bring them to where they are today. We’re not crying, you’re crying. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739758055727479694807_18487201309047908_6986146568265400202_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757848047479880477_18487201282047908_8366479779051707638_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757869965479711772_18487201291047908_7971618314839266735_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757889486479525370_18487201300047908_2389509187546928464_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739757913025479012973_18487201279047908_5314347203737735829_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>8. <strong>Last but not least, BINI was just ON. </strong>These girls were primed for the Philippine Arena stage. The performances weren’t all perfect (the beauty and nature of live concerts is they never are), but everyone in the audience knew that Maloi, Mikha, Aiah, Jhoanna, Colet, Gwen, Stacey, and Sheena are ready to take on the world. After following and seeing them grapple with the pressures of fame in <em>BINI Chapter 1: Born To Win</em>, Blooms would’ve been happy to see all eight girls just relishing their time in the spotlight and proving just why they deserve to be there—why they were chosen. You can see it in their eyes, their facial expressions, their execution. They have all grown comfortable with their rightful place on stage, and it absolutely shows. </p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1739758246027479524018_18487202194047908_622650440611449396_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><div><br/></div><p>Technicalities aside, one of the best parts of watching BINI live is catching the little interactions these eight members share while onstage—those moments Blooms become privy to the beautiful bond they’ve developed over the years. Whether OA or nonchalant Bloom, you’re sure to feel proud as a fan when you witness firsthand the way the girls make fun of each other, take care of each other, and just love each other as their stages get bigger and bigger. This makes watching every concert worth the coin and the time!</p><p>An honorable mention on this list would be when Maloi reminisced how she was just in the audience at the Philippine Arena when K-Pop girl group TWICE was here for their tour, but there she was standing at the kick-off of their own tour at the same venue where she was once just a fan, too.</p><p>As BINI embarks on their upcoming tour and celebrates their upcoming fourth anniversary, there’s surely more to look forward to in 2025. Here’s to BINI and a successful world tour!</p><div><br/></div><p>Photos by <strong>NicePrint Photo</strong></p>
