The group was asked about the similarity between the two performances. RAYA calmly explained the situation and said, &ldquo;It is a coincidence. We've been performing 'Bongga Ka Day' since 2022. Sadyang nag-release din po 'yung isang group ng their own version.&rdquo;
RAYA officially released their version of &ldquo;Bongga Ka Day&rdquo; on October 27, 2023. Meanwhile, the other version came out a few months later, on March 8, 2024.
Despite the timing, RAYA showed no signs of conflict. &ldquo;We think it's fine. P-Pop rise,&rdquo; they said, showing support for the growing popularity of Filipino pop groups.
The members also shared that there is no issue between them and the other performers. &ldquo;We're very good friends,&rdquo; they added.
Fans appreciated RAYA&rsquo;s mature and positive response to the situation, further proving that there&rsquo;s room for everyone in the rising P-Pop scene.
