“Galing po kami sa iba’t ibang mga probinsya po and sumubok lang talagang mag-audition,” BINI Jhoanna, the set’s leader, started off during in an exclusive talk with ABS-CBN executive and director Laurenti Dyogi. “Tapos, akala po naming lahat, ‘pag nabigyan ka na ng star ni Direk, pasok ka na, artista ka na.

“Kahit sobrang nakakapagod na po ‘yung training—parang nag-iiyakan na lang po kami every night—‘yung determination po talaga namin na kailangan naming ma-debut, gusto namin ‘yung ginagawa namin, ‘yun po ‘yung nagpu-push,” BINI Colet, meanwhile, revealed.

BINI Mikha, however, caught us up on what she thought about fulfilling her aspirations: “I think that it really takes time, and you have to take it little by little when you want to achieve your dreams,” the singer-dancer shared. “There’s nothing wrong with little progress because little progress is still progress.

Dubbed as the “face of modern Filipinas,” BINI goes by this bold generation’s definition of a woman. In the words of BINI Aiah, they have to live up to their promise to be “modern,” “informative,” and “aware.”
