Aside from being the youngest member of BINI and the one with the uber-zest when it comes to dancing on stage, Sheena is one of the funniest member of the nation’s girl group. Fans know her for always being the "unserious" one. 

“Ang laki ng influence nila sa akin, 'yung BINI in general. Kasi before sa Isabela, mas ako 'yung tumatawa sa mga jokes. Hindi ako 'yung joker. Pero ngayon, I’m the joker,” Sheena candidly admits.  

The past few months have been overwhelming for Sheena and her sisters -- from sold-out concerts here and abroad, big-time endorsements, surprise appearances and collaborations, and numerous awards and accolades. 

But how is Sheena managing the jampacked BINI schedule? 

“Day by day.” she said. 

“Yung schedule muna for this day, 'yun muna ang iniisip ko. Kasi nagka-time na tinignan ko 'yung schedule namin buong week, buong month, parang na-stress ako. Parang ‘kaya ko ba ito?’ Next day, wala akong tulog. Next day, kailangan maaga. Na-stress ko 'yung sarili ko. I learned that I should take it day by day.”

She added: “Isipin ko lang 'yung today. Pag na-survive ko 'yun, o another day.”

BINI has gone through a lot with their journey, so far. The lowest of lows and highest of highs, and these experiences have made them close. 

We asked Sheena if just by merely looking at her sisters in BINI’s body language, can she already tell if someone is going through something?  

“Definitely,” she said, but quickly added, “Kahit ramdam namin, we still wait for that member to open up. Ayaw naman namin na kahit close-close na kami, ayaw namin na 'uy share mo na 'yan.' We’re still sensitive about those topics. Pero we feel each other, and as much as possible we help each other. Especially natugma na may ganap kami, tapos need na lumabas sila tapos may pinagdadaanan, sasaluhin namin 'yung members na 'yun.”

Blooms, their fandom name, made her ‘Eyyy’ (with the hand sign) remark viral. Sheena explained to ABS-CBN News that she too was surprised that her simple nonchalant remark has gone viral.

“Actually hindi ako makapaniwala na ako 'yung inaano nila na nagpauso noon. Kasi nagvi-viral na naman 'yung ‘eyyy’ before, pero feeling ko mas nag-viral siya nung nakilala sa akin dahil sa ‘eyy ka muna eyyy’ na video ng Bloom, tapos doon na lagi fino-focus.” 

“Matagal ko na rin po ito ginagawa, last year pa. Nakuha ko ito sa tropa ko, napapanood ko. Nakakatuwa na ina-acknowledge nila.”

How she sees herself 10 years from now

She maybe the unserious and funny one, but Sheena is definitely serious about her dreams for her family. 

Her brother and grandmother are still residing in her hometown in Isabela. But she has bigger dreams for her family. 

“I want na tumira na sila with me sa Manila. Kasi I know itong work ko, gusto ko siyang patagalin. Gusto ko pa siyang pahabain pa. So that means, mas matagal na magse-stay ako sa Manila, mas matagal na magkakahiwalay kami.” 

She added: “Yung kuya ko, gusto ko na ring pag-aralin dito sa Manila. Tapos 'yung lola ko feel ko naman na she can survive here. Gusto ko magkaroon ng kumare si lola dito sa Manila.”

But does she miss her hometown? 

“Yes,” she said, adding she also misses just doing nothing. “Actually kahit nasa Isabela pa po ako, laking bahay lang po ako. Kaya po siguro ako lumaking introvert. Sa bahay lang po talaga ako, like baby ako dun.”

One good thing about Isabela, aside from her loving family, are her true-blue childhood friends. 

“They never left me. The best talaga sila. True friends, I’m so grateful na mayroon sila kasi mayroon akong inuuwian,” she said.

Life maybe different now compared to before, and Sheena has her eyes set on a brighter future with BINI and other things. We asked her, where does she see herself 10 years from now? 

“I still see myself here sa industry na ito. Still doing BINI, still doing ‘Da Coconut Nut’ even when I’m 30 years old,” she said.

“If ever man, I still want to continue in this industry. Let’s see. I want to start a business, kasi that’s a great investment. And 'yun nga po, live with my family here (in Manila).”
