In another report, nation's P-Pop girl group BINI has officially initiated legal action against an unidentified party after enduring a series of online harassment and malicious attacks. The development, which was first hinted at by celebrity lawyer Joji Alonso on her Instagram Stories, signals a strong stance against online bullying and the spread of defamatory content targeting public figures. Atty. Joji Alonso shared a cropped image of what appeared to be the first page of a formal complaint, clearly showing the names of BINI's eight members—Aiah, Colet, Jhoanna, Maloi, Mikha, Sheena, Stacey, and Gwen—listed as the complainants. While the specific charges and the name of the respondent were not disclosed, the post immediately sent waves through social media, with fans and supporters expressing a mix of relief and support for the group's decision.
