LOS ANGELES, California — BINI’s leader, Jhoanna Robles, showcased her versatile broadcasting skills during a guest appearance on the popular morning show “Good Day LA” on April 26, 2026. Taking a break from her P-pop idol duties, Jhoanna fulfilled a longtime bucket list item by serving as a guest weather forecaster alongside resident reporter Maria Quiban.
The guesting followed BINI’s historic performance at Coachella, where they were recognized as one of the most-viewed acts of the 2026 festival.
Jhoanna is no stranger to the newsroom. Her professional delivery on the California-based newscast was backed by a solid background in broadcasting:
- Academic Roots: She previously competed in the Division (DSPC) and Regional (RSPC) Schools Press Conferences.
- Professional Stints: Jhoanna has also served as a guest Star Patroller on TV Patrol and as a broadcaster for Sakto Teleradyo.
- On the Air: During her forecast, Jhoanna playfully noted that while Indio, California was hot during Coachella, the group “brought the hotness to the stage,” referring to their high-energy performance.
The rest of the group (excluding main vocalist Maloi) joined the interview to discuss their rapid rise on the international stage.
- Coachella Reception: Stacey described the experience as “surreal,” noting that the crowd’s energy was vital in overcoming their pre-show nerves.
- The “BINI Core” Appeal: Mikha highlighted the importance of Filipino representation, sharing that many new fans expressed regret for not discovering the group sooner.
The P-pop powerhouse is currently on a major global trajectory:
- Billboard Honor: BINI is set to receive the Global Force Award at Billboard’s Women in Music ceremony on April 29.
- “Signals” World Tour: Their first world tour kicks off at the Mall of Asia Arena in June, with confirmed stops in Cebu, the United States, Canada, and several European cities, including London, Paris, and Amsterdam.
- Local Dominance: Despite their international success, the group remains a staple of Philippine media, with upcoming cinema features and a heavy summer schedule.
