BINI proved once again how closely they value the people who have been part of their journey after several members personally attended the graduation ceremony of Bestie Gandara, extending their full support as he celebrated a major academic milestone.
The Besties has long been part of BINI’s growing success, standing beside the nation’s girl group through several career-defining moments, most notably when they performed alongside the group during their historic Coachella debut earlier this year.

Just days before, BINI and Besties also successfully launched the much-anticipated Signals World Tour with two back-to-back sold-out concerts held on June 20 and 21 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Amid busy schedules, one of Bestie’s members, Gandara, whose real name is Kenshin Tabion, received a more personal show of support after members of BINI made time to attend his senior high school graduation.
In an Instagram post shared on June 22, Gandara proudly shared photos from the ceremony, wearing his blue graduation gown and documenting the special day with some familiar faces by his side.
Present during the celebration were BINI members Maloi, Gwen, and Mikha, along with the group’s dance coach Jan Matthew Almodovar.
Expressing gratitude, Gandara shared an emotional message thanking them for personally showing up on one of the most important days of his life.
“GRADUATED SENIOR HIGH🥹 @machuupapi @bini_mikha @bini_maloi @bini_gwen Thank you mga ate sa pag punta💗🥹 your presence is too much and you showed up mahal ko kayo sobra. Gagalingan ko palagi🥹 Sobrang hindi ko po ito ineexpect mahal na mahal ko po kayo,” he wrote.
While not all eight members were present at the ceremony, the rest of the group still made sure to send their congratulations online.
“congrats gandarra!!!! Ilyyyy🩷,” Stacey wrote in the comments.
“CONGRATSSSSSS GANDARSSSS❤️❤️,” Colet added.
Fellow Besties member Matrix also joined in celebrating the achievement, writing: “congrats my love!!! forever proud of u!!! 😙💖”
Adding to the gesture, the attending BINI members and coach Jan also gifted Gandara several makeup products, which he later shared through his Instagram stories.
Earlier this April, while the group was preparing for and celebrating their breakthrough Coachella performance, members Sheena and Stacey also officially completed their senior high school education at JPI Technologies, Trainings and Services Inc. in San Jose del Monte, the same institution where the rest of the BINI members also previously graduated.
Following the successful kickoff of the Signals World Tour in Manila, BINI is now preparing for their next major stop in Cebu, where they are scheduled to perform on July 11 at the SM Seaside Cebu Arena.
Afterward, the group will continue their highly anticipated international tour with stops across the United States, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand.
