The Nation's Girl Group, BINI met the King of Talk Boy Abunda on Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.

On Friday, BINI revealed how they deal with comparison between them and other P-pop groups such as SB19.

Mikha said, "We take the competition and we use that as motivation for us to do even better, but we don't want to bring them down through that competition, you know."

She also expressed hope for the continuous success of the whole OPM industry.

"For the other groups or different artists, we really want to support them. We support OPM and we hope that OPM rises altogether, not just us."

Stacey agreed and clarified there's no competition at all between them and SB19. She told Tito Boy, "Oh my gosh, the answer is no. Hindi po talaga namin sila nakikita as our kalaban ganun kasi 'yung friendship po namin on- and off-cam, sobrang genuine po. Talagang sine-celebrate po amin 'yung pag-angat ng OPM together," she added.

Meanwhile, Maloi addressed dating rumors between her and Rico Blanco after they were spotted together with other musicians in La Union in January.

At the time, Rico welcomed Maloi, Ben&Ben's Pat Lasaten and Agnes Reoma, singer-songwriter Ischi, Over October's Joshua Caleb Lua, Blaster Silonga, Zild Benitez, and lifestyle photographer Shaira Luna in his new hotel, Motel Mambo, in the coastal province.

According to Maloi, it was the first time that she met Rico but they have mutual friends.

"Hindi ko alam pano nangyari 'yun. Siguro may videos 'yung Blooms na in-upload sa X and then na-crop siya, screenshot na parang bad angle, so it just shows na parang nag-holding hands, in-upload sa Facebook, kumalat hanggang sa nagkaroon na ng mga headlines," Maloi explained

She added that she cleared up the misleading news right after she saw it online.

"Nung nakita ko 'yun, nag-tweet po agad ako na 'Stop spreading fake news' kasi ayoko na lumaki pa 'yung gulo and gusto ko na linawin agad," she said.

BINI is having their "Grand BINIverse: The Repeat" concert on February 15 at the Philippine Arena. The show is part of the girl group's upcoming world tour, which will have stops in Singapore, Dubai, London, the United States, among others.
