SB19 and BINI Set to Perform at the First-Ever Filipino Music Awards

The inaugural Filipino Music Awards (FMAs) is poised to be a momentous occasion as it brings together icons and fans alike under one roof on October 21, 2025, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. At the center of the spectacle are two names that have become synonymous with P-pop dominance: BINI and SB19.

Both groups embody different flavors of Filipino excellence: BINI as the new generation carving a legacy, and SB19 as the trailblazers who made global recognition possible. Their shared spotlight at the FMAs is bound to highlight how far Philippine music has come, and how much further it’s about to go.

The P-Pop Powerhouses

Since entering the scene in 2018, SB19‘s Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin have become pioneers that propelled P-pop onto the world stage with record-breaking achievements. From being the first Filipino act to top the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart to selling out back-to-back shows at the Philippine Arena, their career is a catalog of firsts.

Armed with recent releases like DUNGKA! and DAM, SB19 continues to prove their artistry speaks globally. Their performance at the FMAs promises to be one of the night’s most unforgettable highlights.

And who can forget BINI? Since 2021, the names Jhoanna, Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, and Sheena have soared into cultural stardom. With viral hits like Karera, and Salamin, Salamin, the girl group has conquered music charts and the hearts of their fanbase.

Earlier this year, they became the first-ever P-pop group to top Billboard Philippines’ Songs Chart with Pantropiko. Their accolades, including recognition at Billboard Philippines’ Women in Music, cement their standing as artists. At the FMAs, BINI is set to deliver the kind of electrifying performance that has defined their journey. 

A Defining Moment for OPM

With both BINI and SB19 taking the stage, the FMAs is shaping up to be quite a celebration. Joined by other OPM heavyweights such as IV OF SPADES, Lolita Carbon, Yeng Constantino, and the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, the event is set to be more than spectacular—an affirming reminder that OPM is here and more united than ever.

The Filipino Music Awards will take place on October 21, 2025, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. Tickets are available exclusively through Filipino Music Awards Magazine Packages via SariSari.Shopping until October 19.
