BINI members Colet, Maloi, Mikha, and Jhoanna were visibly emotional after watching the first part of their docuseries “Chapter 1: Born to Win” during its advance screening on September 23.

The docuseries, which marked the first time the girls saw their story on screen, highlights their trials, challenges, candid moments, and the lead-up to their triumphant three-day “BINIverse” concert.

The premiere was attended by ABS-CBN executives, including ABS-CBN Chairman Mark Lopez, Head of TV Production and Star Magic head Laurenti Dyogi, Head of Digital Jamie Lopez, Head of Music Roxy Liquigan, and News head Francis Toral.

“It’s a very emotional moment for us in News because our documentaries have returned. And I was really happy because the girls were behind us and BINI liked it, and the Blooms liked it,” she said.

Jeff Canoy, ABS-CBN Chief of Reporters and co-creator of “Chapter 1: Born to Win”, also shared his thoughts. “This is an origin story. Many know that I’m an OG Bloom; I’ve been following their journey since 2020. It was surreal, almost like an out-of-body experience, to watch the documentary on the big screen. We were emotional too because it marked the return of long-form documentaries at ABS-CBN News. After the pandemic shutdown, we lost that format, so bringing it back with a story about resilience and overcoming adversity, which mirrors BINI’s journey, is really special for ABS-CBN News.”

Canoy also teased the upcoming “Chapter 2: Here for You”, which will explore the girls’ regional tour and their encounters with Blooms across the country. “You have not seen everything yet.

“Chapter 1: Born to Win” will be available for streaming on iWantTFC starting September 26.
