"Congratulations to [BINI] and their entire team!!! So proud," she continued.
Several Kapamilya artists, including Piolo Pascual, Alexa Ilacad, AC Bonifacio, Kyle Echarri, social media star Niana Guerrero, couple Maja and Rambo Nuñez, and ABS-CBN's President and CEO Carlo Katigbak, were present at the Mojave crowd to support the girl group.
