She is all of 5'11" and a native of Ilocos Norte
I’m a sucker for provincial beauties who remain untapped but showing loads of potential for national pageantry. And this statuesque headturner from Ilocos Norte might be the girl to face up to the glamazons of the representatives from the Filipino Communities of Austria and Italy (both circling the 6′ mark) in the ongoing search for Miss Republic of the Philippines.
Her name is Sheena Seinne Bolaños Dalo, or Sheena Dalo for short. A freelance fashion model up north who also works as an Airport Rep with the Provincial Capitol in Laoag City, she is 24 years old and all of an enviable 5’11” (even slightly more) in height. And it would be safe to say at this point that she will be proudly wearing the sash of Miss RP Ilocos Norte when the candidates are announced middle of next month.
Sheena was sourced by Baraka Model Management International for Miss Republic of the Philippines during the provincial screenings. Some of you might wonder why she would join Miss RP than the other nationals which will have pageant missions abroad. Well, let’s just say that education is a big come-on for her. She doesn’t come from a well-off family (her father is a farmer and her mother a housekeeper/nanny), so getting the chance to pursue higher studies (on top of her degree in Hotel/Restaurant Services) is of prime importance.
Watch out for Sheena, dear readers! :-)
