OPM girl group BINI, unfortunately, cut their performance short during the 126th Independence Day festivities at the Quirino Grandstand on Wednesday night due to audience safety issues.
After their opening performance on one of their hit songs, "Lagi," BINI encouraged their fans to keep calm and urged them to move backward as they were heading closer to the stage.
"Pero bago ang lahat, bago kami magpatuloy kailangan naming kayo kumalma guys dahil mahihirapan yung mga security natin," BINI member Jhoanna called to the crowd.
"Pwede ba tayong umatras ng kaunti?" she added.
BINI expressed the audience's safety concern as BINI member Maloi noticed a fan hanging by a scaffolding.
When the fans couldn't stop, Mickey Perz, their dance coach, went on stage to encourage everyone to behave.
"Blooms alam naming kanina pa kayo andito at matagal kayong anghintay sa BINI. Ang BINI din ay naghihintay sa inyo. Kung hindi tayo magiging kalma, hindi na po kami makaka-perform kasi importante sa BINI na safe magperform,"he said.
(Blooms, we know that you've been here for a long time waiting for BINI, and BINI is also waiting for you. If we aren't calm, we won't be able to perform because safety is important.)
On an X (formerly Twitter) post, BINI's official account thanked the fans for their support, while explaining that safety should come first.
"Thank you sa lahat ng sumuporta ngayong gabi! Ngunit safety first po tayo (we should exercise safety first) and we hope for your understanding. More chances to see each other real soon! We hope everyone gets home safely tonight. Maraming salamat! Happy Independence Day."
