P-pop girl group BINI’s “Grand BINIverse” concert, originally set for November 17 (Sunday), has been rescheduled as a safety precaution due to Typhoon Pepito.
In an advisory released on Friday, BINI stated that Day 2 of their three-day sold-out concert at the Araneta Coliseum will be held on November 19 (Tuesday) instead “to ensure everyone’s safety” against the typhoon’s expected landfall on Sunday.
“All tickets for Sunday will be honored on Nov. 19 at the Araneta Coliseum. Ticket holders who will no longer be able to attend on Nov. 19 can contact Ticketnet for their refund,” read the statement.
Livestream passes purchased on iWantTFC for the rescheduled show will also be valid on Tuesday.
“Part of the proceeds from the Grand BINIverse concert will be donated to the ABS-CBN Foundation to help those affected by the typhoon,” the statement added.
In the meantime, Day 1 (November 16) and Day 3 (November 18) of the Grand BINIverse concerts will take place as originally planned.
(Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) PAGASA’s weather bulletin at 11 p.m. on Friday said that Typhoon Pepito, which has maximum sustained winds of 155 km/h near the center and gustiness of up to 190 km/h is “more likely to make landfall in the vicinity of Catanduanes on Saturday evening or on Sunday early morning.”
