CEBU -- The penultimate stop of the "BINIverse" regional leg saw a full house at the Grand Ballroom of the Waterfront Hotel and Casino on Sunday, as "Blooms" from Cebu and nearby areas took the opportunity to watch the Nation's Girl Group.

As early as 3:00 p.m., the driveway of the venue was filled with fans who were eager to watch BINI perform.

One of them was 12-year-old Lyanna Marshall, who was dressed in pink. Her ticket was a graduation gift from her Dad who also watched with her. 

"Thank you for coming to Cebu," she said.

Other fans wore BINI-inspired outfits, including colorful crocheted tops. "This is inspired by 'Pantropiko,' my favorite song," said Marvin Mendoza. "Thank you for inspiring a lot of people, especially nowadays, they are down lately. Their songs cheer us up."

"It's really overwhelming to see BINI here… welcome to Cebu," said Kim Dalaygon, an incoming college student from Mindanao.

BINI opened their set with "Na Na Na" and also performed their viral hits "Salamin, Salamin" and "Pantropiko." They treated the Cebu City crowd to a performance of their latest single, "Cherry on Top."

-- Individual universes --

The highlight of the event was the individual performances of the BINI members, who reprised their solo productions from their three-night concert at the New Frontier Theater in late June.

BINI Mikha once again performed a mash-up of Paramore's "That's What You Get" and Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now," while BINI Stacey turned the venue pink as she sang Ariana Grande's "Thank You Next." BINI Sheena again showed why she is known as the group's main dancer with her routine set to Rihanna's "Pour It Up."

BINI Maloi gave her rendition of Up Dharma Down's "Oo," while BINI Colet thrilled the crowd when she performed Beyonce's "Crazy in Love." BINI Gwen put her own spin on Little Mix's "Woman Like Me" while BINI Jhoanna showed off her vocals with a cover of Sarah Geronimo's "Isa Pang Araw."

Meanwhile, it was an emotional homecoming for BINI Aiah, who sang Doja Cat's "Woman" while performing the rap part in Bisaya.

"I'm very happy that I'm back here, because I felt the love and support," said Aiah. "That means a lot to me."

Colet, who is from Bohol, told the crowd that she is a proud Bisdak or Bisayang Dako.

"Nalipay gyod kaayo mi ni Aiah kay mag-Bisaya mi sa among mga spiel," she said.

[We are so happy with Aiah since we will speak in Visayan with our spiels.]

Other members of the group also tried their best to communicate with the crowd in Bisaya. Another highlight of the concert was the audience's resounding birthday greeting to Stacey, who celebrated her birthday on Saturday.
