Several fans reportedly felt dizzy and fainted while the P-Pop girl group BINI was performing at an event in Pangasinan.
Due to the multiple incidents of fainting, BINI members had to stop their performance to prevent the situation from worsening during the Bangus Festival in Dagupan, Pangasinan last Tuesday, April 30.
An estimated over 10,000 Dagupeños attended the annual celebration, based on ABS-CBN News’ report.
Videos circulating on social media showed BINI members visibly worried on stage as they reportedly witnessed event attendees lose consciousness due to the intense heat in the area.
On their X accounts, all eight members of BINI expressed their concern, addressing their fans and those who got hurt during the event.
“Maraming salamat Dagupan! Sana safe kayong nakauwi lahat. Sobrang saya naming makita kayo pero nakakalungkot lang din na may mga gano’ng nangyari kanina. Salamat sa pagmamahal at sana sa mga susunod na ganap, unahin natin ang safety ng bawat isa ❤️🩹,” wrote the group’s leader, Jhoanna Robles.
BINI Maloi left a sweet message to their fans in Dagupan, expressing her enthusiasm to return to the province.
“THANK YOU DAGUPAN FOR THE WARM WELCOME 🥺 kung pwede ko lang kayong yakapin lahat! sana okay lang kayong lahat, sana makauwi kayo ng safe, babalik at babalik kami, oki? GUSTO KO ULIT MATIKMAN YUNG BANGUS!!!! I LOVE YOU ALL, galing sa puso ko ‘yan :”),” the member wrote.
