The night of January 19, 2025, witnessed a dazzling performance by the Nation’s Girl Group, BINI, at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City. The group emerged victorious, claiming three prestigious accolades. Their success included winning the titles of Wish Group of the Year, Wish Pop Song of the Year for their track “Pantropiko,” and Wishclusive Pop Performance of the Year for “Karera.” This remarkable achievement highlights the group's growing influence and popularity within the music scene.
Beyond the glory of these awards, BINI’s win also carries a meaningful impact. As part of their honorarium, the group will receive Php 100,000 from the Wish Music Awards, which they plan to donate to three charitable organizations: the Philippine Food Bank Foundation Inc., Enhancing Nurturing Disciplining Empowering Restoring Daycare Inc. (IT Tender), and the Leukemic Indigents Fund Endowment (L.I.F.E.) Inc. Additionally, each member will receive a cash prize of Php 25,000. The generosity and social responsibility shown by BINI set an inspiring example for others in the industry.
The 10th edition of the Wish Music Awards, established in 2016, celebrated the achievements of Filipino artists across various genres. This year’s event honored over 70 musical acts across 19 nominations. Other notable winners included SB19, who secured two major group awards, and solo artists like FELIP, Josh Cullen, PABLO, and Stell, who each claimed individual accolades. The evening also recognized R&B performers such as Dionela, Jay R, Arthur Nery, and ska-rock band Dilaw, showcasing the diversity and richness of Philippine music.
The success of BINI and other artists at this year’s Wish Music Awards underscores the vibrant and dynamic nature of the Philippine music industry. It not only celebrates artistic excellence but also promotes philanthropy and community engagement. Such events serve as a reminder of the power of music to unite people and inspire positive change.
