Negros Occidental 3rd District Rep. Javier Benitez filed a house resolution seeking to congratulate Filipino pop group BINI for its historic performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.
Benitez, who also serves as the Chairperson of House Special Committee on Creative Industries, noted that the measure was a means to recognize the group’s contributions to expand the influence of the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) genre to the global stage.
“Their performances weren’t just a win for the fans, it was a massive milestone for our creative industries and a masterclass in bringing OPM to the global stage,” he said in a social media post.
The solon explained that the proposed resolution sought to formally underscore the role of BINI as a promoter of Filipino talent worldwide, noting that the performance marked a turning point for the industry’s homegrown talent.
The world-renowned girl group became the first Filipino act to take the stage in the annual music festival held in California, performing its popular songs on April 10 and 17.
Aside from commending the pop group, Benitez said that there had been discussions with regards to the inclusion of “music” as a commercial industry under the Philippine Creative Industries Development Act (PCIDA).
A resolution similar to the one filed by the congressman was also submitted to the Senate through Senator Bam Aquino last 17 April.
Following their performance at Coachella, BINI is set to embark on its Signals World Tour with performances at countries like the USA, Canada, France, and United Kingdom among the slated tour sites in 2026.
