BINI reacts to Michael V.’s parody of ‘Salamin, Salamin’: ‘Sobrang galing po talaga’

How did BINI feel when Michael V. made a parody version of their song, “Salamin, Salamin?”

On Friday’s “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” the Nation’s Girl Group said that they have seen Bitoy’s “Salarin, Salarin" on "Bubble Gang," which included Kapuso stars Buboy, Betong, Matt Lozano and Kokoy De Santos.

“Nanonood lang din kami before ng ‘Bubble Gang.’ Tapos kuhang-kuha niya pa ‘yung hairstyle ko diyan,” Jhoanna said.

Maloi also called the Kapuso Comedy Genius an “icon.”

“So, parang ma-recognize niya kami, makanta niya ‘yung kanta namin, magawan pa ng parody, sobrang galing po talaga,” she said.

During their guesting, BINI also responded to various allegations and criticisms that they receive. Maloi, for her part, cleared up the rumors that she and Rico Blanco are dating.

When asked by Tito Boy how BINI changed their lives, Jhoanna said that she now gets to provide for her family.

“Hindi na po ako humihingi sa kanila. Sa lahat po ng expenses ko living here po sa Manila, ako na po lahat gumagastos,” she said.

Maloi said the same, adding that she also helps send her siblings to school.

“Ako po, wala na po kaming utang. And naaayos na po namin ‘yung bahay namin,” Colet said.

Mikha said that BINI has helped her become independent, while Stacey shared that her family now gets to fly abroad using her own money.

“Since nung naging BINI po, parang mas naging dikit kami ng family ko. Baka dahil din nga sa distance, nagkalayo, gano’n po. Ngayon, mas solid din po talaga kami,” Gwen said.

Answering the same question, Aiah said that she got to lift a weight off of her parents’ shoulders by becoming independent.

“Nakaka-give back din po ako sa kanila and also may nakukuha din po akong learnings na hindi ko siya mabibili,” Aiah said.

Sheena agreed, adding: “Ako na ‘yung nag-a-achieve ng dreams na gusto ng family ko.”

BINI has an upcoming concert in February and a world tour later this year.

In 2024, BINI was among the top streamed artists on Spotify Philippines.

They also won the International Breakthrough Artist and International Video of the Year for “Cherry on Top” at the BreakTudo Awards 2024 in Brazil, and was named Best Asia Act at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards.
