Hi Earthlings,
Let’s be real—nothing screams comfort like a hot plate of pancit canton after a long, chaotic day. And if there’s one group that totally gets that feeling, it’s BINI. From exhausting rehearsals to back-to-back performances, this P-pop girl group knows how to hustle. And in the middle of all that chaos, there’s one thing that’s always been sakto and reliable: Payless Pancit Canton.
Yup, the nation’s girl group isn’t just singing about wais choices—they’re living it. And their go-to comfort food? The bold, flavorful, and budget-friendly goodness of Payless Sakto and Xtra Big Pancit Canton.
“After rehearsals or live shows, we barely have time to cook something fancy,” Gwen shares. “Pancit canton is fast, filling, and flavorful. And since most of us love spicy food, the Payless Sakto Xtra Hot flavor is a no-brainer for us.”
This isn’t just a random brand deal. BINI’s love for Payless runs deep. Back when they were still trainees, grinding through long workshop days with barely enough time for breaks, Payless pancit canton became their ultimate lifesaver. It was quick, delicious, and something they could all bond over.
And that bond? It’s what makes BINI so special. Aiah and Jhoanna say that becoming part of the group felt like everything aligned perfectly—a sakto moment, if there ever was one. “Meeting each other and forming BINI really felt meant to be,” says Jhoanna. “It’s like the universe said, ‘Yup, this is it.’” Aiah adds, “It sounds cheesy, but it just felt right. No second-guessing, no doubts.”
Their shared love for Payless has become part of their rhythm—part of the little joys that help them stay grounded despite their hectic schedules. Whether they’re watching movies, prepping for the next performance, or just catching up on each other’s lives, pancit canton is almost always involved.
Mikha admits she’s a multitasker who snacks while binge-watching, and pancit canton is her must-have sidekick. Maloi adds that it’s not just the taste, but the nostalgia that makes it special. “There’s something comforting about it,” she says. “It reminds us of our early days, and how far we’ve come.”
Even when things get intense, the girls have learned to be smart—wais, even—about their time and choices. “We’re always on the go, so we’ve all found ways to stay organized,” says Colet. “A solid to-do list, quick meals that don’t compromise on taste, and little pockets of rest where we can enjoy our favorite comfort food. That’s what helps us keep going.”
Now that they’ve officially joined the Payless Instant Noodles family as brand ambassadors, it just feels like everything has come full circle. “It’s honestly such a perfect fit,” says Jhoanna. “We’ve been fans of Payless for years, so to represent something we genuinely love is a huge honor.”
And yes, they’re hyped for fans to try the new flavors too. Whether you’re into the tangy kick of Kalamansi or the fiery boldness of Xtra Hot, there’s a sakto Payless flavor for every mood.
At the end of the day, it’s not just about the noodles—it’s about the memories, the connection, and the comfort. For BINI, Payless Pancit Canton isn’t just a snack. It’s a reminder of where they started, how far they’ve come, and the simple joys that keep them grounded through it all.
Because when you find something that’s sakto, wais, and genuinely makes you happy—you stick with it.
And BINI definitely did.
