The Philippine Senate has officially recognized the groundbreaking achievement of Filipino girl group BINI, who made history as the first all-female Filipino act to perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Senate Resolution No. 1029, introduced by Senator Lito Lapid, commends the eight-member P-pop group for their "stellar performance" at the prestigious international music festival held in Indio, California. The resolution highlights how BINI's appearance on the Coachella stage represents a significant milestone for Filipino music and culture on the global stage.
