Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #bini, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Posting about BINI, a pop group from the Philippines, and clicking on the tag #TurkishCelebrities reminded me of my ignorance of vast areas of the world and its diverse peoples.

    I try my best not to be a blinkered Anglo, whilst also recognizing that I can never hope to have much more than a fragmentary and superficial understanding of the histories of most of the planet's inhabitants. For deeper insights, I am dependent on experts and informants with firsthand knowledge and experience.

    I hope it doesn't sound too smug if I say that at least I am aware of my ignorance.

    What frightens me is that the most powerful man on earth is not only ignorant, but also unaware of the depth of his ignorance and, insofar as he is aware of his ignorance, resistant to remedying that ignorance to any degree by careful reading of briefings, thoughtful discussion with experts, or - can you imagine it? -- opening a book.

    Ultimately, my ignorance is of little consequence one way or the other. His ignorance could, quite literally, be the end of the world.

  6. BINI -- Blush -- Coachella 2026
    youtu.be/qoFd0oT6llE?si=u3DuE5

    I've seen some of the publicity boosting BINI, but I'd like to know more about their popularity in the Philippines and the place of P-pop in Filipino culture.

    Is Kpop as popular now in the Philippines as it has been in the past? Or is Kpop now beginning to be eclipsed in popularity by Filipino idol pop?

    Is P-pop on the verge of a global breakthrough?

  7. #BINI made history at Coachella. Philippines #Ppop gets global spotlight

    BINI was formed in 2021 through a talent search that self-consciously mirrors the #Kpop idol trainee system.

    With their rigorous training and precision choreography, the group is at the vanguard of #Pinoy pop, or P-pop: the #Philippines’ answer to South Korea’s cultural juggernaut.

  13. You have to admit, Kpop's weakness is live performance. They were not trained for that. Compare that to #Ppop where talents were trained professionally by professional mentors in a rigid course where it covers everything. Look at #BINI and #SB19 to mention only two out of many examples.

  15. In fact, there was an incident with #BINI where a family and a few fans disturbed the family dinner of the members after their concert/fanmeet. True fans defended BINI, and those who disrespected them failed to get any support (they tried to argue "idols are supposed to do this and that"). #Ppop

  16. Here are today’s headlines – the latest news in the Philippines and around the world:

    The Department of Public Works and Highways files a bid-rigging complaint before the Philippine Competition Commission on Friday, October 3, against DPWH officials and contractors in Bulacan flood control projects.

    The Commission on Audit flags four more alleged anomalous flood control projects in Bulacan worth P351.38 million. The projects were reported to be fully completed and paid in full, but the audit team found that the projects were non-existent.

    An ethics complaint is filed on Thursday, October 2, against Senator Chiz Escudero over his ties to a government contractor who donated P30 million to his 2022 senatorial campaign.

    P-pop girl group BINI is back with its newest Filipino single, ‘First Luv’. The track is released with a music video where the girls embody modern Cupids.

    Taylor Swift’s latest studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, arrives with a promotional blitz that includes midnight sales at Target stores, a release party at movie theaters around the globe, and pop-up experiences in New York and Los Angeles. – Rappler.com
