Vice Ganda delivered a memorable performance and heartfelt words of encouragement during the second night of BINI’s sold-out Grand BINIverse concert at the Araneta Coliseum.
The Unkabogable Star was originally scheduled to appear on the third night, but his Day 2 presence proved to be a highlight of the event.
The energy at the Araneta Coliseum was palpable even before the show began, with VIP ticket holders lining up early to secure prime spots around the 360° stage. The concert kicked off with a grand entrance by BINI members Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena, who emerged from a giant flower amid deafening cheers.
Fans were treated to live renditions of the group’s biggest hits, including ‘Pantropiko,’ ‘Salamin, Salamin,’ ‘Cherry On Top,’ and ‘Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi.’ Vice Ganda further elevated the excitement with a stunning performance of his song ‘Rampa,’ complete with a dramatic costume change and a lively exchange with BINI.
During his segment, Vice humorously recounted his playful “tampo” with the group for choosing Anne Curtis’s team over his during ‘It’s Showtime’s’ ‘Magpasikat.’ “Ako ang madalas mag-push sa BINI! Si Maloi nga, ako ang nag-push na maging hurado sa Tawag ng Tanghalan Kids! Ako rin ang nanonood ng mga music video n’yo!” he joked, eliciting laughter from the audience.
The conversation shifted to a more serious tone when Vice addressed BINI Maloi’s experience with online bashing. The controversy stemmed from a tote bag post on her social media, which some netizens criticized. Vice recounted asking Maloi if she had deleted the post during rehearsals, to which she had humorously replied, “Binura ko na.” However, she later clarified that the photos weren’t hers.
Using the incident as a teachable moment, Vice urged BINI to stand firm against criticism and maintain their confidence: “Kung magpo-post kayo, anytime you feel like posting anything, kahit anong sinasabi nila, never delete. For as long as you know that your post is not harmful to anyone, never delete.
“Hold your power. Huwag ninyong ibigay sa mga tao, lalo na sa mga hindi nagmamahal sa inyo, ang power to control you. Never let that happen.”
