BINI Aiah Speaks Out on Bashing: ‘It’s Not Easy’
On Tuesday, February 4, BINI’s Aiah Arceta couldn’t help but get emotional as her group held a contract signing with ABS-CBN. In her speech, Aiah expressed her gratitude to BINI’s bashers, even though she admitted that it wasn’t easy to deal with the criticism they received.

“To our bashers, thank you very much,” Aiah began. “I know it’s not easy to see bashing, hatred, and negative comments. It really hurts.” She added that although the words they are being hurled at them hurt, they see it as a reason to keep going and work harder.

“But you know what?” she continued. “Thank you anyway because that’s what gives us the courage and motivation to keep going and be stronger. At least, we have the opportunity to turn something that is difficult into something positive.” Aiah stated that the trials they experienced were an opportunity to be happier and be grateful for the good things they had.

She added, “It’s really testing, it’s so painful. But despite all that, we learn to see the brighter side of life and the things to be grateful for.”

It can be recalled that in July 2024, BINI did not escape severe criticism from netizens after photos of them at an airport where the group members were difficult to recognize due to their appearance—their bodies were almost wrapped up, which gave them reason to laugh and criticize them. This incident became a big test for the group and their members.

However, despite the trials and insults, BINI continued their journey and continued to show their determination. Their ability to persevere, despite obstacles, has given them the opportunity to forgive and be grateful for the positive things in their lives.

Aiah stated, “These things make us stronger. We will not stop because we know that something better awaits us at every step.” Despite all the negative opinions thrown at them, BINI continues to fight and move forward to solidify their position in the Philippine music industry.

The contract they signed with ABS-CBN is a symbol of their dedication and hard work. BINI is a group that continues to pursue their dreams and continues to inspire the youth and their fans, even despite the trials and challenges they face. Their concern and steadfastness in the midst of trials is proof of their strength and dedication to their profession.

Aiah’s message is proof that despite all the trials, there are times when we can learn to be stronger, and in the end, we can see the positive things to be grateful for in life.
