THIS WAS EMOTIONAL.. (BINI Interview with Karen Davila | Reaction) 

Wow. It's shocked me just how rough these girls have had it in the past, truly an example of making the right people famous. Thank you for your support guys! Let me know what you'd like to see next down below! 💜

Most Asian countries , including The Philippines, are extremely family-oriented. Most of the BINI members struggles of being a breadwinner, resonates with many Filipinos (average income and less privileged) that have to support their families. In a family, it's mainly the ate (older sister) or kuya (older brother) who are driven to work even at early age and help support the family. We're taught about responsibilities while young. This concept might be foreign to Westerners, but we're a developing country and sadly, the majority is not in the best circumstances.

That’s how us Filipinos talk naturally, Philippines is fluent in both English and Tagalog so we tend to combine English and Tagalog (our spoken language)

We call it 'Taglish'(Combo of Tagalog+English) since English is one of our languages that people learn in school and most official documents are in English in the Philippines. So English comes naturally for us at the same time with our local dialects. For Aiah's case, Tagalog isn't the local dialect in Cebu but Bisaya, and tagalog is harder for them to construct so they choose to use english to replace words xD. But English is really just normal for Filipinos, also a reason foreign visitors enjoy since we all speak it xD

English is the second official language in the Philippines, thats why Filipinos are fluent in speaking English.

They didn't intend to "film" that part of telling Sheena the sad news just for the heck of it. It's just that, it was during pandemic. Everything was online. Most of their meetings with their coaches and bosses were done online. If I'm not mistaken, all of them are continuing their studies now. Colet and Maloi graduated from Senior Highschool this year. They stopped during their trainee days to focus on their training.

You're spot on! These girls deserve all the success after what they've been through

22:30 Aiah is called the Mama Mary of the group lol her words are very inspiring. She has such a pure heart.

15:12 lol same reaction. I had watched this interview when I got into them early on. I didn't know all of their names yet. After hearing how much they went through (cause for real, it be like that in the Philippines), I was like HOLY FUUU STAN THEM NOW!!! Having a "breadwinner" of the family is a common thing in the Ph, and to hear that some of them were that for theirs as teenagers just sucks, but also great to hear that they're thriving.

21:46 code switching is normal for filipinos to use in conversations. we mix english language with Tagalog or mother tongue. colloquially we call it Taglish Philippines is generally a religious country but it is in their individual upbringing that brought their strong faith. and as a collective they all share their faith in all that they do. if you've missed the additional information in the captions in the video here are some of them: Nanay = mother Tatay = father Ate = older sister (often said before the name or simply just that) Kuya = older brother (same with ate) Bunso = youngest Panganay = eldest (not mentioned but i'll add) lolo = grandfather lola = grandmother With regards to their use of language, english is the second official language, whereas filipino (tagalog) is the national language. but depending on which region or province we're born, we speak our mother tongue. So for the girls: Mikha = tagalog Maloi, Jhoanna = tagalog (i think maloi also speaks a dialect. they're from same region but different cities) Aiah, Colet = bisaya (from same region but different provinces) Gwen = bicolano Stacey, Sheena = ilocano (from same region but different provinces) This is also why Maloi said in the beginning that they were initially in different friend groups, because they came from different places with different cultures and languages. some are better tagalog speakers some are more comfortable with english and have trouble understanding tagalog. but they all speak the english language. i know this is too much information, but im just really fascinated with their roots, where they came from individually. thanks for genuinely appreciating the girls. we can see you've become a bloom yourself.

21:35 English is taught starting from preschool and is used everywhere including government documents and stuff. You could also hear it being mixed with Filipino cause it's used on the daily.

Aiah's switching to and from English and Tagalog is called "Taglish", which is very common among Filipinos. This explains the ability of Filipino singers to seamlessly switch between the two languages in songs.

I just finished one of your videos then bam!! A new one drops. Love the videos man

This interview made me know bini more and appreciate them more thats why i love them more

No matter how many times I watch this BINI interview by Karen Davila, it still gets me all the time.

Their biniverse concert is a must watch too and their chaotic moments, you are gonna love them more ❤

Aiah can speak three languages. Two of them, she can speaks fluently, which are English and Bisaya. English and Tagalog are official languages of the Philippines. So, you will hear her switching Tagalog and English. The interviewer is both fluent in Tagalog and English, as well. Filipinos speak two or three languages fluently.

ABS-CBN was shutdown due to political reasons. But only the free TV channels were shutdown. But it still had a huge impact to its work force and artist. All the girls are still studying they will continue to study until they graduate from college. The management also keeps an eye on their academics to secure the future of the girls. We Filipinos tend to speak in Taglish(Tagalog and English for tagalog speakers, Ceblish(Cebuano/Bisaya and English.) This is Aiah's and Colet's native language. And other Philippine languages we can add english words on them.English is our 2nd language and english words are actually easy to add to our languages and fits the right narrative on the sentences we speak. Haha

Solo performance in their concert are the must .. ❤

Bruh, look up the BINIverse videos. Those are videos from their aforementioned 3-day concert and Philippine tour. They also had full production solo performances which were epic!

Yesss finally thankyou for your reaction! ❤

They are now in Canada and will be watching them here in Toronto on Saturday. Yey!

So there's a 9 or 10 episode documentary for BINI and BGYO for their training period/journey to debut. There's also Star Hunt Academy vlogs that BINI took part in. In september the first part of the BINI documentary series will be released.

The next thing you'll find out is how funny, crazy and chaotic this group is. 😅 They'll take every single opportunity to have a good laugh. They don't care about their idol image as long as everyone is having fun 😂

the one with the guy telling sheena that her mom passed away was during pandemic, it was on video call because you know they can't travel because of community quarantine and bini are still in the middle of training

Thankyou for supporting bini❤

Aiah is from Cebu which is a region that has its own dialect, "bisaya". Those from Cebu are typically more fluent in English and Bisaya than Filipino/Tagalog that's why Aiah is more comfortable with English.

Its in the Filipino culture to be family oriented. We always help our family back home because we always give back to our parents until they get old we take care of them. Specially if you're the breadwinner.

Right??, even people bring them down, bash them, people sleeping on them, disregarding thier talent. we cannot push someone to like others but atleast dont bash them, we dont know thier story.. im happy cus im stanning them since then.. now im so proud of them reaching thier dreams, wake up people., specially to my co-filipinos right there, if you cannot love them then dont hate them.

Aiah is from Cebu, which has its own dialect. Cebuanos typically find it easier to speak in English than Tagalog.

they're in vancouver, canada now 😭😭 for ther biniverse vancouver concert (they have 3 concerts in canada)

It's Philippines. English is our second language we always use English in our everyday life and mostly used in big establishments, offices and television. Most of the Filipino's understand and can speak English. Regarding to the accent that they have we adapt the American English that's why we have the accent or clear pronunciation compared to other Asian countries . English is widely used language in the Philippines. You can see a lot of advertisement or road signs are in english. Aiah is used to speaking in English more than Tagalog because she is from cebu a province and they have a dialect that is different from Tagalog and a lot of people there only speak their dialect and English language. Most of the people that are from cebu are having a hard time speaki in Tagalog (our first language ) that's why they use English to communicate to the people that don't understand or speak their dialect.

bro i was emotional through the video, then at 22:37 i burst out laughing HAHAHA changed my mood😂😂

omg, sir thank you for this reaction again you are my favorite reactor ❤️❤️❤️

MrSammyCam is fast becoming one of my favorite RU-vid reaction channels. 👍👍

One thing that we, their BLOOMS are d So proud of these girls is that aside from being idols they're also students ❤😊

21:35 Many of us Filipinos speak English as our second language. We tend to speak English often jointly with our mother tongue. We also have this language called "Taglish" a combination of tagalog and english language, so yeah Aiah is speaking Taglish, in fact they all are speaking taglish.

they deserve all the success and love in the world.

got hooked thru this way too welcome to the group...good review and reaction though cheers

it's very common to code switch in the Philippines between English and Filipino languages. even the most common folk use borrowed english words in everyday conversation Also these upbringings are what made BINI so authentic as idols tbh

I am a fan of their management and TV network, but not Bini, until this interview thanks to you.

A certified BLOOMs should know about this things about #BINI. It's a must.

the realities of their struggles are unfortunately the norm in the philippines for a lot of families as a third world country. some of us are lucky enough to make better lives for ourselves.

present bro thank you for supporting BINI! co BLOOMS!

21:30 I grew up in the Philippines and lived there for 19 years. I spoke Tagalog and English mixed. I couldn't speak full Tagalog or full English. It's kinda normal there. We call it Tag-Lish

I enjoyed your reaction...Learnt so much from BINI. Cheers.

aiah is the eldest :) and she's just so sweet isn't she?? i agree, there's something about her. so gorgeous too. she's the "visual" of bini :)

Hugs for all the breadwinners!! We keep fighting!!

if want to know more about Aiah, you can check her interview in the show called Kuan on One *Actually all of them are still studying while working as a bini members😊most of them are still in senior high school(colet and maloi already graduated a couple months ago) and aiah is in 3rd year college now

We filipino speak TAGLISH its a combination of TAGALOG and ENGLISH... cuz theres alot of thing that doesnt have tagalogs words for them.. and also philippines have ENGLISH AND TAGALOG official language.

Since you like Aiah, I think you should watch her solo interview in Kuan On One.. her smile and her presence there will put a permanent smile on your face.. you should check that one out soon 😁😁

God! This guy is handsome 😍 haha. I can't help but stare at his face every time. Thank you for these reaction videos!

regarding the news of sheena's mother passing, the reason why it was recorded is bc it was during their training. since it was pandemic, they were always in a zoom meeting whilst doing voice, dance, etc training

PH have hundreds of languages, not dialects. FILIPINO language is a term to collectively describe the different languanges in PH. Eg. Tagalog, Ilocano, Batangueno, Bisaya, Hiligaynon, Chavacano, etc. Aiah's native language is Cebuano/Bisaya and her 2nd language is English. She understands Tagalog but she rarely speaks it growing up so she would always mix Tagalog and English when speaking. PH is divided in 3 main areas, Luzon, Vizayas, Mindanao. Tagalog is mostly spoken in Luzon. Vizayas and Mindanao on the other hand have a variety of languages but English is mostly their 2nd language.

17:34 That lingo is just how Philippine English is or how Englog is. Philippine English (like American English, British English, Aussie English, etc.) is a collective set or group of English dialects and accents, among other language or speech variants or varieties of, in and from the Philippines, and among us Filipinos, that are influenced and integrated, incorporated, infused or included with one or more of our more than 80 to less than 200 languages (depending on what are considered and counted as separate, independent, unique and distinct languages), especially our major local and regional languages, in terms of vocabulary or lexicons, especially nouns, as well as pronunciations, intonations and accents that all makes our English unique. Philippine English is based and closer to American English than to any other "Englishes" around the world, but the languages of, in and/or from the Philippines make it unique and different from American English. On the other hand, Englog (from "English" and "Tagalog" [one of the major local and regional languages of, in and from the Philippines, which is also the de facto, historical, traditional and linguistic basis or foundation, and still serves as the linguistic nucleus of Filipino, the national language, one of the two official languages alongside English, and the national lingua franca or national common language of the Philippines]), is the language code-switching and/or code-mixing between English and generally and inclusively Filipino (or specifically and exclusively Tagalog), but with English taking the precedence with the grammar, syntax, word order, sentence structure and most of the vocabulary or lexicons, while Filipino (or Tagalog) only providing few to some vocabulary or lexicons in terms of words, phrases, clauses and the like. This is in contrast to Taglish, where Filipino or Tagalog takes the precedence with the grammar, syntax, word order, sentence structure and most of the vocabulary or lexicons, while English only provides few to some vocabulary or lexicons in terms of words, phrases, clauses and the like.

again another lovely reaction for the girls! keep it coming bro!

Aiah is from Cebu and really usually speaks in English than Filipino. A lot of people in Cebu speak Cebuano (their dialect) and English and not Filipino (national language). Mikha was also born and lived in Cebu so she also usually speaks in English.

Hi, I just laughed at your reaction when they showed a photo of Vhong.hahaha actually if not all, most of his movies are comedy, hence the photo hahahaha. He actually looks good outside acting 🤣🤣😅

ABS-CBN's broadcasting franchise was not renewed by Congress for political reasons. They targeted ABS-CBN with false accussations due to its critical stance against the now former President Duterte. This resulted to ABS-CBN losing its TV channels and radio stations. The company has been reduced to a being a content creator for other channels and streaming services, a record label, and talent agency.

THANK YOUUU FOR THIS!!!

Filipino (Tagalog) -is our Mother Tongue or 1st Language English - is our Second laguage thats why foreigners love to visit the Philippines because its a English speaking country. And as you said mixing Tagalog and English while speaking is called "TagLish". Fun Fact: Philippines is also part of Top 5 best speaking English in the world.

..i love BINI ..sooo amazing very kind hearted girls..❤

sheena's mom passing away - it was recorded on zoom bec it's pandemic at that time.

Filipinos are taught english in school, so locals naturally use english as slang.

Thank you Sam, always!❤🤙🏼

Yep aiah speak both english and tagalog at the same time and we called that (taglish)

most filipinos can speak ENGLISH so basically we are talking in TAG-LISH or tagalog and english combination when talking

Thank you for reacting to this interview I always love your reactions to bini 😊 Please react to their solo performances on their Biniverse concert

Welcome to the BINI rabbit hole bro. Watching your reaction the last two weeks. Subscribed late. my bad. 😅

Both Aiah and Colette’s mother tongue is Bisaya. It’s easier for them to use English for the Tagalog equivalent. (But maybe I’m projecting.)

ABS was shut down because the president at that time was not in good terms with the network due to coverage of the genocide and early coverage of China occupying PH territories. Thanks for appreciating our nation's talents. Mabuhay!

Aiah's way of speaking is called Taglish which a lingo that Filipino's commonly use for casual chats. Taglish means a mix of Tagalog (Philippines' offical language) and English (Second official language).

If you wish to focus on their vocals, you can watch all their Wish Bus live performances and Mirrored Dance Practice with Live A Capella Vocals.

BINI is managed by ABS CBN which was the largest media network in the Philippines. Its franchise was not renewed in 2020 by the government due to politics. This is the reason Maloi said that with the shutdown, what will happen to BINI. But despite not having franchise, the network was able to survive with online platforms and collabs with other networks. And management truly continued to support BINI which turned out to be a wise decision. With this support and the hardwork & dedication of the girls, see where they are now.

Binibini isn't really just for "Young Lady", it's more like for "Lady" in general or "unmarried women", but is implied to be that way for some reason. I mean, we call our teachers "Binibining [Inser Name]" when in school (age doesn't matter). Nowadays, it's more used to refer to a lady in a more respectful way or to be very formal. It's also sometimes used by some men to court girls because it sounds very sweet to hear us Filipinos as if the girl is very delicate and ladylike.

i love your background. My favorite BINI song

The next concert will be on November 16&17 @ the BIG DOME ( SMART ARANETA COLISEUM) supposed to be on October 4🌸

SHA is like a reality show so everything are being filmed😊

you can watch jhoanna broadcast when she was guess as star patrol in ABS CBN. shes a very good reporter 13:03

Thank you for the reaction 😊

Aiah is a Cebuana, they used to speak english a lot po

The official languages of the Philippines are Filipino and English. Filipino language is primarily based on Tagalog which is mostly spoken only in central Luzon island. Aiah is from Cebu which is a separate island and speaks Cebuano. Most Cebuanos are not comfortable speaking in tagalog ("Filipino") and would rather speak in English. A lot of Cebuanos are other non-tagalog speaking Filipinos are more fluent in English than Tagalog ("Filipino").

Cebuanos are really good in English. They are much fluent in English since not all of them can't speak Tagalog, our national language. That's why Cebuanos speaks good English. The only challenge is how they pronounce the words. But that's not an issue. I can say they are excellent in English.

you can watch jhoanna broadcast when she was guess as star patrol in ABS CBN. shes a very good reporter

the unhelpful guide to bini is a must watch to know more about their dynamics and personalities ++ a very fun vid too!

English and Filipino are the official languages of the Philippines. Most people understand English, but some are not too comfortable speaking english. A good number though are bilingual. A lot, especially those from the provinces outside Metro Manila, are also trilingual because they also are fluent in their regional languages. Like Aiah and Colet who both are fluent in Bisaya aside from English and Filipino. Sheena and Stacey also speak Ilocano. Gwen also speaks Bicol.

That is called taglish, that is very common in the Philippines. Majority of people use some English words in part of the local language.

One thing thats great about BINI is they have a lot of freedom unlike kpop groups, they do the craziest and weirdest things you cant see from kpop idols, you should watch their funny moments in youtube there's a lot in English subs you wont believe how crazy they are, they have zero idol image whatsoever which made everyone love them they're just their normal selves a bunch of crackheads

Just subscribed! I've been binge watching your BINI reactions!🌸♾️ Please react to their Solo Performances during the Biniverse concert next!

you should watch KINIKILIG ACAPELLA version in MYX Hits Different, their harmonization is toptier

It is normal for us here in the Philippines to mix Filipino (or other regional languages) and English and sometimes we are not even aware of that 😅. It is because both Filipino and English are our official languages so in our media, goverment documents, medium of instructions, etc. are mostly in Filipino or English 😊

Pre debut, Da Coconut Nut, relay dance + live performance. debut song born to win please!

I suggest watching their solo performances on their concert, Biniverse. There are good fancams here on youtube.

She's with ABS-CBN also.

21:30 as a Cebuana myself, I'd like to give a brief background why Aiah switches from English to Tagalog. Tagalog (language spoken by the northern part of the PH) is not her first language. She grew up speaking in Cebuano (language spoken by the mid to south PH) There are lots of times that we Cebuanos find it challenging to speak in Tagalog and we find it easier to speak in English instead. So ideally, when Cebuanos are in Manila or around their Tagalog friends, we speak in a way that we mix Tagalog and English in order to convey our message. I hope this helps. :)

I think the subtitles were mistaken about what Jhoanna said about being a broadcaster. It was her DREAM when she was young, not that she was one. The pics and clips were from her recent stint as a guest broadcaster on their Network. And she was REALLY good

Its natural for us Filipinos to speak in English because its our 2nd language

you should check out binicore, you’ll definitely gonna love them more hahaha

In the Philippines, english is one of the official language besides tagalog. In Cebu,where Aiah grew up,they speak Bisayan language (same as Colet) they are comfortable speaking in English in that region rather than in tagalog because of the accent and intonation.

they needed for documentary and also lockdown
