During the Senate visit, the group was formally presented with a parchment copy of Senate Resolution No. 370, which recognizes their contribution to Philippine music and global representation. Alongside the formal recognition, the members were also given special handcrafted gifts that added a personal touch to the occasion.
Sen. Bam Aquino personally handed over a set of fruit-inspired bags from the Rags2Riches Fruit Bag Series to each of the eight members of BINI. The bags were not identical, as each one carried a unique fruit design carefully assigned to every member of the group.
Mikha received a Dalandan bag, while Jhoanna was given a Lemon design. Sheena was gifted a Rambutan bag, and Maloi received a Peach-themed piece. Colet was handed an Orange-inspired bag, Gwen received a Watermelon design, Aiah was given a Pineapple bag, and Stacey completed the set with a Cherry-themed creation. Each item also came with personalized charms, making the gifts even more distinct and meaningful.

The distribution of the gifts was done in collaboration with Reese Fernandez-Ruiz, co-founder and president of Rags2Riches, a social enterprise known for transforming upcycled materials into handcrafted fashion items while providing livelihood opportunities for Filipino artisans and underserved communities.
Sen. Bam Aquino, who co-founded Rags2Riches in its early years as a social entrepreneur, has long been an advocate of empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises. His involvement in initiatives like Hapinoy further reflects his work in supporting micro-entrepreneurs, particularly women managing small businesses across the country.
BINI is an eight-member Filipino girl group formed through ABS-CBN's Star Hunt Academy, consisting of Jhoanna, Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, and Sheena. Dubbed the "Nation's Girl Group," they have spearheaded the modern P-pop wave with massive viral hits like "Pantropiko" and "Salamin, Salamin," while breaking international barriers with milestone appearances at Coachella and the Billboard Women in Music Awards.
In another report, Senator Bam Aquino expressed support for the idea of making BINI official tourism ambassadors of the Philippines. The proposal gained traction following the group’s historic performance at Coachella, which brought international attention to Filipino talent. Lawmakers also emphasized the importance of strengthening the country’s creative industry as a form of “soft power.”
Meanwhile, the Filipino girl group BINI was formally honored at the Philippine Senate after making history as the first Filipino act to perform at Coachella. The recognition was made through Senate Resolution No. 46 led by Senate President Vicente Sotto III. Senators praised the group’s achievement as a source of pride and inspiration for Filipinos worldwide.
