BINI have just presented Regine Velasquez-Alcasid with this year’s Woman of the Year award at Billboard Philippines Women In Music 2026.

The Nation’s Girl Group bestowed the honor upon Asia’s Songbird at the Maybank Performing Arts Theatre in Taguig City. As they presented the award, the octet comprised of Jhoanna, Mikha, Aiah, Sheena, Colet, Maloi, Stacey, and Gwen, expressed their admiration for Velasquez-Alcasid, stating how much they’ve idolized her over the years.

“We grew up listening to this next artist, watching her performances, and learning from everything she’s done. She is someone who really set the standard—not just with her voice, but with how she has carried her presence on stage and herself through the years,” the “Blink Twice” hitmakers shared.

“Forty years in the industry, and she’s still inspiring so many of us. She made it possible for artists like us to dream bigger, and achieve more. [So] being here to introduce her feels really special for all of us,” they continued. “Ladies and gentlemen, it is our absolute honor to present this year’s Woman of the Year—to the one and only Regine Velasquez-Alcasid!”
