@rckwjennie No offense din ha pero nagpakitang piyok din ang piyokings na yan.

AMBORIIING
Kahihiyan was made ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Gets ko rin naman yung gigil ng a'tin sa blooms at BINI.
- Imagine, mamatay sila sa inggit nung BINI yung inan-announce na unang magpe-perform sa Coachella.
- Pinagkalat nila online na mapapahiya ang Pinas; they were expecting na magkakalat ang BINI kaso nag-viral. ๐ญ
- Nasapawan pa yung SMDC concert nila ng BINICHELLA kasi same day kaya inaway nila yung mga TV network nun na di raw sila cinover HAHAHA
- Redemption sana nila yung Lolla; naka-ready na yung 'true artist, hindi mediocre ang talent' narratives nila kaso nag-flop.
- Para makabawi sa disappointment, binira ulit nila yung BINICHELLA kaso binalikan sila ng blooms.
- Hindi sila makaganti kasi totoong flop ang Lolla so kinain nila lahat ng sinabi nila.
- Nakita nilang hindi soldout ang Hawaii ng BINI kaya playing victim card na sila na kesyo kinarma raw ang blooms ๐คฃ
Ayan ang buod ng istorya kaya nag-iiyakan ang a'tin ngayon. Tignan niyo mas alam pa nila kung ilang tix nabenta ng BINI kesa samin HAHAHAHAHA
@lyramisooo@unSauLicited@BINI_ph Tangina, calling Bini premature sa global act doesn't sit right to me. Pwede bang tumahimik muna yung mga fans ng di pa nakakatapak sa coachella na may malaking engagement all throughout social media from casuals locally and internationally.
@FanboyAwen@binicrave Victim card? Yung blooms pa ngayon ang victim? Sure ka ba na blooms ang nag umpisa e nananahimik yung fandom bigla kayong nag ngangawa jan sa wars sa DOT at sa Report ng ABSCBN. Twisting narratives pa nalalaman. ULO MO. Kayo may ugali ng ganyan at alam ng casuals yan.
Who are you to downplay local tourism?
Weren't some of you the same people telling the DOT to "dapat sariling bansa muna ang inuuna" when BINI was being considered as tourism ambassadors? (I'll leave the receipts in the comments.) Now that BINI has a domestic tourism campaign, suddenly "domestic" is being used as if it's an insult? That's not a flex, that's just an inconsistent argument.
A domestic tourism campaign does not mean "domestic-only ambassadors." Those are two different things. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ข๐ง ๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ต๐ฒ๐น๐ฝ ๐๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ต๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐๐ต ๐น๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐ฎ๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ๐. Encouraging Filipinos to explore their own country is literally one of the core goals of tourism. If you think promoting local destinations is somehow inferior to promoting the country abroad, then you're the one devaluing Philippine tourism.
It's ironic because the message used to be "support local" and "dapat unahin ang sariling bansa." But now the narrative has shifted to "global > local" just because it fits a fanwar. Which is it? You can't preach patriotism one day and treat local tourism as second-class the next.
The Philippines is one of the most culturally diverse countries in Southeast Asia. Every province has its own identity, language, traditions, food, festivals, and destinations. Domestic tourism isn't a consolation prize,it strengthens local economies, supports communities, and helps preserve our culture. That's something to be proud of, not mocked.
And let's not ignore why BINI is a fitting choice. They can communicate with audiences in Tagalog, Bisaya, Bicolano, and Ilokano, allowing them to connect with people from different regions across the country. That's an advantage when the goal is to encourage Filipinos to discover more of the Philippines while also introducing our culture to international visitors.
Supporting one artist doesn't require belittling another campaign. If your favorite's achievements are strong enough, they should stand on their own without having to diminish someone else's work.
Next time, read beyond a screenshot or an AI summary before trying to lecture people about tourism. The real embarrassment isn't having a domestic campaign, it's thinking "domestic" automatically means "less than." That's a mindset that undervalues the very country you claim to represent.
