MANILA -- On the second episode of "Maalaala Mo Kayas's" 2025 comeback, BINI member Sheena's life story takes centerstage.

Speaking to ABS-CBN News, Sheena thought she was being pranked by management when they told her about the "MMK" invitation. 

"Akala ko nung una joke. Kasi nga hindi pa bumabalik ang 'MMK,' so akala ko jino-joke lang ako. Sinabihan ako na babalik na nga ang 'MMK' at isa sa mga few episodes na ipapalabas ang buhay ko," she said. 

The youngest among the eight BINI members was definitely thrilled. "Pangarap ko 'to. Pangarap ito ng BINI, gusto nga namin buong two months, kaming BINI lang, every Saturday! Super excited."

Excitement ran through her mind and body upon hearing the news, but she suddenly felt anxious when Star Magic head Lauren Dyogi told her the she would act in the episode. "Kasi nga po zero experience sa acting. Pinaka-acting experience ko na 'yung sa mga brand shoots, pero sobrang babaw lang doon. Happy, sad. Doon ako kinabahan noong sinabihan ako ni Direk na ako na. Makaka-angal ba ko?" she said.

Sheena took a two-day acting workshop with veteran actress and acting coach Malou de Guzman. She felt comfortable doing the one-on-one session, as an introvert, she said.

Then when she stepped on the set on Day 1, Sheena nervously navigated through the ins-and-outs of filming -- from script reading, to preps, to company calls and taking on the acting job, scene per scene.

Her co-actors played an important role in her acting debut, especially Angelica Panganiban, who played her mom in the life story.

"Una naming pagkikita, naiyak na agad ako kasi super kamukha niya si mommy, kahulma, ka-height, sobra po. Nung nagsuot pa siya ng mga pormahan ni Mommy, sabi ko, oh my gosh kaya ko ba ito? Kasi yung scenes namin happy pa eh, pero naiiyak na 'ko," Sheena said.

Sheena's life story premieres on May 1, on iWantTFC, 48 hours ahead of its premiere on free TV and other Kapamilya platforms.
