MANILA -- Gary Valenciano offered high praise for BINI after watching Day 2 of the "BINIverse" concert on Saturday night at the New Frontier Theater.

Mr. Pure Energy said he "very much" enjoyed the first ever solo concert of the Nation's Girl Group, highlighting how each of the BINI members showcased their personalities throughout the three-hour show.

"The way they were talking to the audience, the way they were talking to each other, the way they were cracking jokes, the way they were working together with the production," he said. "May mga style sila na gustong-gusto ko makita, because it proved to me na … ABS-CBN really did what they had to do in order to bring out the best in these girls."

Valenciano was particularly impressed with how the BINI members maintained their high spirits throughout the show.

"Hindi madali ang ginagawa nila. It was almost a three-hour show and most of their songs were dance. But I think, there was never a dull moment," he said. "Not one moment na kung saan you're just, 'Ano na?'"

"They were always there onstage," he stressed.

Valenciano had an intimate conversation with BINI a few days before their concert, and he was glad to see that the group reached the level they were hoping for in the buildup to their big night.

"This is the first time I'm seeing them full-out. This is what I was hoping to see. And I know during that time na nakausap ko sila, medyo kinakabahan sila, pagod sila, takot sila. Which is natural before any concert, especially if it's the first concert," he said.

Watching the show allowed Valenciano to see just how far BINI has progressed since their early days. He recalls being stunned when he heard the girl group for the first time during their stage rehearsals on "ASAP Natin 'To."

"They were so new, that I had to look around and see meron bang nanonood sa kanila. Meron! I'm not sure if it was Iñigo (Pascual) or Darren (Espanto), and then we looked at each other na parang … Wala kaming sinabi sa isa't isa, pero the only thing we said was, 'Di ba? 'Di ba, meron?'" he said.

"I really saw something there right from the very start."

What made the show all the more special is that it showcased the bond of the group. Valenciano said: "Kung ano ang nakikita ng tao onstage, may pinaghuhugatan yan eh. They lived together, they know each other, may friction yan for sure but they allowed the friction to bring out the best in them."

Ahead of the show, he prayed for BINI's Gwen Apuli, who had colds and was struggling with her voice ahead of Friday's Day 1 show. 

"I know that Gwen is really not feeling well, I spoke to her backstage. Halos wala na siyang boses. Prayed for her and all the other girls," said Valenciano.

BINI's performance in Day 2 only reinforced what Valenciano already believed even before the concert -- that the Nation's Girl Group is already world-class.

"I am so happy that the Philippines has a P-pop group, an all-female P-pop group that we can be proud of. It's something that we can truly be proud of," he said.
