Mexican superstar Thalia has once again reflected on her deep connection to the Philippines after sharing the stage with Filipino girl group BINI at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, held at the Los Angeles Palladium on April 29, 2026. Thalia received the Icon Award, while BINI was honored as the Global Force Award honoree.
Thalia's Enduring Bond with Filipino Fans
According to Thalia, her affection for Filipinos runs deep due to the warm reception she received during the height of her fame. She recalled the success of her Tagalized telenovelas and her sold-out concert at the Araneta Coliseum. In an Instagram post, she wrote: “The Philippines is a country that has walked with me through the years, becoming part of my story and who I am today. And the love you’ve given to Marimar has been truly endless.”
Possible Visit to the Philippines
When BINI member Joanna asked Thalia if she plans to visit the Philippines, the singer immediately replied with a smile: “If you invite me!” The meeting further proves the deepening relationship between international pop culture and the Original Pilipino Music (OPM) scene, strengthened by artist collaborations and the global recognition of Filipino musicians.
