The eight-piece, all-female group is made up of Aiah, Colet, Gwen, Maloi, Stacey, Jhoanna, Mikha and Sheena – who are currently the top OPM (Original Pinoy Music) group, OPM female artists and P-Pop act across Spotify and Apple Music thanks to viral hits like Pantropiko and Salamin, Salamin, holding the number one and number two spots respectively on the charts of both platforms.
Jhoanna, the leader of BINI, said that it will be a night of Filipino pride.
She said: 'We're so excited to finally bring the BINIverse to Dubai.
'Performing for our fans in the UAE – many of whom have been supporting us since the very beginning – means the world to us. It's going to be such a special night, full of love, energy, and Filipino pride.
'We can't wait to meet our Blooms in person and share this amazing moment together.'

Formed in 2019 through ABS-CBN's Star Hunt Academy, BINI released their debut single, Born to Win, in 2021, before going on to achieve huge success both domestically and globally.
Along with being the most-streamed female OPM artist on Spotify, with over 3.5 million monthly listeners, BINI recently made history by becoming the first Filipino girl group to stage three sold-out centre-stage shows at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Manila.

Glasgow Film Theatre decides to not endorse Israel boycott movement
Glasgow Film announced on Thursday that it wouldn't fully endorse either the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement or the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). The cinema said this was in order to retain 'independent decision making' and uphold its 'commitment to Cinema For All'. It comes after a boycott by the GFT's front-of-house and cleaning teams on handling any goods connected to the BDS movement led to Coca-Cola products no longer being served. Art Workers for Palestine Scotland then published an open letter to the GFT calling for the cinema to adhere to the (BDS) movement and endorse PACBI. The letter was signed by more than 1400 and included the likes of Ghassan Abu-Sittah, rector of the University of Glasgow and filmmaker Ken Loach. But Glasgow Film has decided to not formally endorse the movement. 'The Board of Trustees at Glasgow Film recognise the horrific humanitarian crisis in Gaza and are appalled by the ongoing loss of Palestinian lives,' a statement read. 'We understand the depth and diversity of feeling within our staff, audiences, and wider communities, and we acknowledge the calls from artists and activists for cultural and consumer boycotts in solidarity with Palestinians. 'We also recognise the rising levels of anti-semitism, Islamophobia and polarisation in our communities and condemn any kind of racism or discrimination.' (Image: PA) The statement added: 'As an independent charity, trustees are legally required to act in the best interests of the charity, and in line with its charitable objects which are, for Glasgow Film, principally to educate the public about film. To meet this obligation, we believe that all decisions, including those relating to ethical purchasing and programming, should be taken independently, and on a case-by-case basis, informed by robust internal policies and processes.' They announced a review and refresh 'in consultation with staff' on their ethical policies and 'assess any connections to human rights abuses' and claimed a review of products in the cinema's bar has already started. The board also said it would continue to platform global filmmakers including Palestinian artists. 'Following a period of careful reflection, legal advice, and consultation with staff and community stakeholders, we consider the above approach to be in line with our legal duties as charity trustees and in the best interests of the charity, as opposed to formal and wholesale endorsement of BDS or PACBI,' the statement went on.

Kalamansi Kafe
Bangkok's food scene just keeps surprising us! Think it couldn't get any more diverse? Think again. From Italian trattorias and French bistros to fiery Indian curries, the city has it all. But what about the flavours of our neighbours? Can you taste them in the Big Mango? The answer, increasingly, is yes! Take Filipino cuisine, for example. It's not as widely known as some, but that just means there's more to discover. Enter Kalamansi Kafe, a cosy spot serving home-style Filipino dishes that'll have you coming back for more. Curious about adobo or halo-halo? This is your gateway to the Philippines. Located in Soi Suan Phlu, Kalamansi Kafe is named after a citrus fruit central to Filipino cooking.. Its story began during the Covid-19 lockdown when owner Sandy Lopez and her daughters started sharing their roots through delivery meals. What started in their home kitchen soon blossomed into a full-fledged restaurant, thanks to Sandy's partnership with her sister Glecy, an experienced cook. And just like that, Bangkok gained an inviting new spot to savour the bold, authentic flavours of the Philippines. Step inside, and you're welcomed with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. It's as if you're being greeted by family. Even the decor tells a story—don't miss the striking painting of a carabao (the national animal of the Philippines), a nod to the country's heritage and traditions. So, what makes Filipino food so special? It's the incredible blend of influences – Chinese, Malay, Spanish, and American – that come together in exciting ways. If you've never tried it, prepare for a culinary adventure! The flavours are bold yet balanced, with a mix of sweet, sour, and savoury notes that are less spicy than Thai cuisine but just as delicious. Not sure where to start? Begin with the chicharon bulaklak (B275), crispy pork ruffles paired with garlic and spiced vinegar – crunchy and addictive! For the main course, you can't miss the pork belly adobo (B298), a Filipino classic made with tender pork belly braised in soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and spices. It comes with crispy adobo flakes, a soft-boiled egg, and plenty of sauce – don't forget the rice to soak it all up! Want something heartier? Try the oxtail kare kare (B540), a comforting dish with peanut sauce, banana heart, and sauteed shrimp paste. Seafood lovers, the sugpo sa gata (B790) is a must! These jumbo prawns cooked in coconut milk, garlic and chili are pure indulgence. Finish your meal with a true crowd-pleaser: halo-halo. This dynamic dessert layers ube ice cream, leche flan, jackfruit, adzuki beans, and more into a colourful, sweet masterpiece. Grab the single serving (B145) for yourself or go big with the barkada size (B380), large enough to share with ten of your closest friends. Don't forget the drinks! The gin pom pom (B350) is their playful twist on a Filipino favourite. Fresh pomelo, pomegranate juice, and gin come together in a sparkling pink cocktail served in a perfume-style bottle – complete with glitter. It's as fun to sip as it is to admire.
