Bukod sa sikat na bakasyunanan, mayaman din sa kultura ang bayan ng Taal sa Batangas.

Isa sa mga itunuturing na makasaysayang lugar doon ang antigong bahay ng pamilya Goco. Itinayo ang bahay noong 1876, mahigit 100 taon na ang nakalilipas, at panahon pa ng mga Kastila. Bahay iyon ni Juan Cabrera Goco, ang ingat-yaman o treasurer ng Katipunan.

Ngayo’y nasa pangangalaga ito ng apo ni Juan Cabrera na si Pio Goco. Taong 1999 nang isaayos ng mga magulang ni Pio ang bahay. Noong 2001, idineklara iyong ‘National Ancestral House’.

Noong panahong iyon din sinimulan ni Pio na ayusin ang bahay na sa una'y pampalipas oras o ‘hobby’ niya lang. Hanggang sa nagbibigay na siya ng weekend tours noong 2013 para maibahagi ang kultura at pamana ng kaniyang ninuno. Nang dumami na ang mga gustong bumisita, naging araw-araw na ang schedule.

Ayon kay Pio, marami siyang mga naungkat na natagong gamit mula sa kaniyang mga magulang at ninuno. Kabilang sa mga nahanap niyang natatagong yaman ng bahay ang mga antigong kubyertos.

Ginamit pa raw iyon ng kaniyang mga ninuno tuwing may pagtitipon o okasyon. Kaya di malayong ginamit din ang mga kubyertos ng mga rebolusyonaryo noon. Ngayon, ipinapagamit na rin ito sa mga sumasama sa tour ng matandang bahay. Tampok din kasi sa tour ang pagsasalo sa hapag para matikman ang iba't ibang nakasanayang lutong Taalenyo.

Bukas ang Goco ancestral house mula alas-11 ng umaga hanggang alas-5 ng hapon. May entrance fee itong P1,500.

8 Standout Moments From BINIverse World Tour 2025 Philippines

One momentous night. Eight exceptional talents. Hundreds of hardworking staff. Fifty-five thousand Blooms in attendance. The largest indoor arena in the country. 

On February 15, Maloi, Mikha, Aiah, Jhoanna, Colet, Gwen, Stacey, and Sheena joined the very short list of artists who have so far held sold-out shows in Guinness World Records’ largest mixed-use theater in the world—not to mention, being the FIRST Filipino act to do so. (The concert was also streamed live on iWantTFC to additional audiences across the world. #TeamBahay)

And that was just the beginning. It was another emotional night for Team BINI and Blooms alike as OT8 conquered their biggest stage yet. From 50 or so fans watching their shows three years ago to 55,000 flocking to the Philippine Arena? They did that. 



Metro.Style continues to follow our November cover girls’ next moves along with thousands of fans who filled the arena with their love for OT8. In case you missed it, here’s our list of standout moments from the first leg of BINIverse World Tour 2025!

1. That “Salamin, Salamin” opening. While the Grand BINIverse at the Smart Araneta Coliseum blessed Blooms with a mashup of “Pantropiko,” “No Fear,” and “I Feel Good,” the BINIverse World Tour kick-off offered a fresh five-minute opener that ultimately led to a full production of “Salamin, Salamin,” featuring a Filipino festival-inspired band and Orchestra of the Filipino Youth arrangement.  Best of all, the girls busted out an all-new dance break!




2. The amped-up duo performances. From the Smart Araneta Coliseum to the Philippine Arena, the girls’ duo numbers have undoubtedly become one of the most anticipated parts of BINIverse. Stacey and Aiah, Maloi and Jhoanna, Colet and Sheena, and Gwen and Mikha brought their Grand BINIverse pairings onto their Philippine Arena stage and made these performances even bigger and bolder. The girls oozed even stronger chemistry in each production, even Blooms at home surely saw and felt it.

3. The Born To Win songs on the setlist. They’ve definitely come a long way with hit-making Talaarawan, but it was such a treat for OG Blooms to see their idols perform Born To Win era songs—“Golden Arrow” and “Kinikilig” among them—on their biggest stage yet.




4. The first live performance of “Blink Twice.” A perfectly timed release, this new hit is undeniably a sister to “Cherry On Top,” another fun and bubbly all-English number they get to perform for their international stops ahead. But, of course, Pinoy Blooms got to see it first. (Mikha’s rap verses hit even harder live!)





5. BINI declaring that they are ready for the global stage. After receiving their trophy from the MTV European Music Awards for Best Asia Act, BINI leader Jhoanna fearlessly declared they’re ready to take the risk and show the world what they’ve got in the next stops of their tour. Didn’t they say, “No Fear”? They sure did.




6. That preview of their upcoming EP! The secret’s out, and it’s all over social media. We’re finally getting an EP after Talaarawan! There are more unreleased songs to look forward to, aptly enough so we don’t miss them too much while they’re on the road and flying across the globe. 








7. When the members appeared separately on the upper floors for “Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi.” While we love seeing OT8 together, this is one of those instances where seeing them individually tugs at our heartstrings. As their venues become larger, it becomes harder for them to reach all the Blooms until General Admission, but this number proved how BINI treasures their growing fandom—by going the extra mile (running in heels, we might add) to be closer to the people who helped bring them to where they are today. We’re not crying, you’re crying. 







8. Last but not least, BINI was just ON. These girls were primed for the Philippine Arena stage. The performances weren’t all perfect (the beauty and nature of live concerts is they never are), but everyone in the audience knew that Maloi, Mikha, Aiah, Jhoanna, Colet, Gwen, Stacey, and Sheena are ready to take on the world. After following and seeing them grapple with the pressures of fame in BINI Chapter 1: Born To Win, Blooms would’ve been happy to see all eight girls just relishing their time in the spotlight and proving just why they deserve to be there—why they were chosen. You can see it in their eyes, their facial expressions, their execution. They have all grown comfortable with their rightful place on stage, and it absolutely shows. 



Technicalities aside, one of the best parts of watching BINI live is catching the little interactions these eight members share while onstage—those moments Blooms become privy to the beautiful bond they’ve developed over the years. Whether OA or nonchalant Bloom, you’re sure to feel proud as a fan when you witness firsthand the way the girls make fun of each other, take care of each other, and just love each other as their stages get bigger and bigger. This makes watching every concert worth the coin and the time!

An honorable mention on this list would be when Maloi reminisced how she was just in the audience at the Philippine Arena when K-Pop girl group TWICE was here for their tour, but there she was standing at the kick-off of their own tour at the same venue where she was once just a fan, too.

As BINI embarks on their upcoming tour and celebrates their upcoming fourth anniversary, there’s surely more to look forward to in 2025. Here’s to BINI and a successful world tour!
