Fun time chatting with Filipino actors Kim Chiu and Paulo Avelino while they were here in the Bay Area for their “Love, #KimPau” tour.

I asked them to give their definition of “kilig” for someone who may not know what that word means.

Joking on the last one but y'all know what I mean

[Aaron Tolentino @ATolent2]

Love this. This year's Coachella is a historic one with many firsts...

-First Latina to headline (Karol G)
-First Filipino act to perform (BINI)
-First act to scroll through YouTube (Justin Bieber)

[PopXclusive @PopXclusive]

Karol G hurries off her Coachella set before Becky G’s statement on immigration, leaving Becky to finish the show on her own:

“¡Que viva Mexico! ¡Que viva Colombia! Y a todos nuestros inmigrantes, te queremos mucho… you heard what I said. ¡¿Y donde está mi gente Latina?!”

[. @PRlNCEOFPOPSTAN]

Coachella has posted a clip of every performer of 2026 so far on their Instagram, these are the most viewed:

Justin Bieber - 22.6M
BINI - 21.1M
KATSEYE - 14.5M
Teddy Swims - 4.5M
Moby - 3.2M
Luisa Sonza 2.5
The XX - 2.4M
TAEMIN - 1.8M
Sabrina Carpenter - 1.4M
ZULAN - 1.4M

[Aaron Tolentino @ATolent2]

Probably the biggest reason why I love K-pop, Kdramas, etc. Their success has opened the doors for other Asian entertainers to succeed.

Shoutout to groups like BTS and Blackpink that made P-pop acts like BINI and SB19 performing at these global stages possible.

[Aaron Tolentino @ATolent2]

@februareeze @justinbarsketis @RollingStone Exactly… iba kung ng tataglog sila and representing the culture. Which BINI does

Marami Pinoys dito sa US na Filipino by blood pero wala sila alam about the culture or don’t even understand Tagalog.

BINI represents PH through and through

[Rolling Stone @RollingStone]

BINI made history on Friday as the first Filipino group to perform at Coachella. More:

BINI blowing up all over my feed! #BINIchella @BINI_ph 🇵🇭⭐️

Totally forgot to post here all the BINI content I had from last year: meeting them in SF to interviewing them after the Coachella announcement was made.

K-pop conquered Coachella. Now it's Bini's turn to show off the Philippines https://t.co/iE9YPZQzx3

[Aaron Tolentino @ATolent2]

@yesitisprecious @SB19Official @1zentertainment @yanidedios Parang mas marami pinoys dito than 500K… especially kung nasa Daly City or SSF ka😂

[Aaron Tolentino @ATolent2]

@yesitisprecious Hopefully they come back to the Bay Area soon! I’ll make sure to be there🙏🫡🇵🇭

@Iv_Morales @sofiaegomez1 So down! SDSU JMS reunion😁

[Aaron Tolentino @ATolent2]

IVE has a special place in my career because they were the first group to invite me to cover a show years ago — not really knowing much about the genre.

Since then, our audience has loved our K-pop coverage, and it has springboarded my entertainment beat.

[KRON4 News @kron4news]

One of the most popular K-pop girl groups today (@IVEstarship) is coming to the Bay Area this summer.
