P-pop Group BINI Files Cybercrime Case Over Viral Street Food Video

P-pop girl group BINI isn’t letting online hate slide. The members — Jhoanna, Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, and Sheena — filed a cybercrime complaint in Santa Rosa, Laguna, against the uploader of a spliced video that painted them in a bad light.

The case falls under the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, and if proven guilty, the respondent could face 6 to 12 years in prison.

The Video That Sparked It All

The controversy started when a 25-minute video of the girls trying Filipino street food was chopped down to a two-minute edit. But here’s the kicker — it only showed their negative reactions, making it look like they were bashing local food.

The clip went viral and triggered a wave of online hate, with fans and netizens quick to judge.

What They’re Demanding

BINI’s camp is seeking ₱1 million in damages for each member — that’s a total of ₱8 million. Their lawyer, Joji Villanueva Alonso, said the spliced clip caused “irreparable emotional and mental distress” to the girls.

Why It Matters

According to Alonso, this isn’t just about BINI — it’s about holding people accountable for spreading misleading content online. She stressed that “free speech comes with responsibility” and BINI is standing up not only for themselves but also for anyone who’s been a victim of digital abuse.
