P-pop girl group VVINK makes a fearless artistic statement with their latest release, “Baduy”—a track that reclaims a commonly misunderstood Filipino word and transforms it into a symbol of confidence, cultural pride, and unapologetic authenticity.



Featuring Pio Balbuena and DJ Love

The track comes alive with the charisma of Pio Balbuena, whose verse adds realness and character, grounding the song in stories and moments every Filipino can relate to. Alongside him is DJ Love, one of the pioneers behind the iconic budots sound. His signature beats give “Baduy” its vibrant spirit, blending nostalgia with fresh P-pop energy.


Reclaiming What “Baduy” Really Means

In Filipino culture, “baduy” is often used as an insult—something cheesy, tacky, or uncool. But VVINK turns the word on its head. Instead of hiding behind trends or perfection, they proudly embrace everything that makes life fun, colorful, and real. Their message is simple and heartfelt: If it makes you happy, it’s worth celebrating.

A Song Rooted in Everyday Pinoy Life

The visuals and soundscape reflect scenes we all know—jeepneys, sari‑sari stores, lively streets, and the contagious charm of budots. The track feels like home. It captures the joy of being authentically Pinoy, reminding listeners that beauty doesn’t always come from polished perfection, but from the small, unfiltered moments.


VVINK, Pio Balbuena, and DJ Love don’t just deliver a music collaboration—they deliver a message: being proudly, unapologetically Filipino will never go out of style.
