If Gwen and Mikha are known for their standout hairstyles, BINI member Stacey is known for being the kikay queen and the girl who loves pink. 

Speaking to ABS-CBN News, Stacey said “Mahilig din po ako sa bata. Like 'yung mga anak nina Coach Mickey (Perz) and Coach Anna (vocal coach), ako po lagi 'yung pinupuntahan nila. Feeling ko ako 'yung very kikay talaga, lalo na 'yung mga batang babae, na gusto 'yung mga pang-babaeng ganap.”

Being the kids’ idol, does she feel pressured in having that wholesome image? She said, “Di naman ako napre-pressure kasi 'yun po talaga ako. Hindi ko po kailangang magpanggap na kailangan kong maging wholesome palagi kasi palatawa naman po kami, and very friendly naman 'yung branding namin.”

But she admits she loves the "unserious' and funny side of BINI. 

“Doon kami nakilala. Nakilala kami sa humor namin, sa ‘kanal’ humor. 'Yung ine-edit ng Blooms (fans) na ‘Bini core’ (in TikTok), na nakakatawang moments namin sa group. 'Yun naman ang pinaka-grateful kami, magkaka-ugali kaming walo,” she said. 

“Wala pong pikon sa amin,” she stressed.

Stacey grew up singing in church in their hometown in Ifugao and Nueva Vizcaya. Her grandfather was a pastor in their church. 

“Church girl talaga ako. 'Pag may worship, nagsi-sing and tambourine kami. Sundays and before, sa school din active din ako, mga pageants,” she said.

“Sobrang proud sila, lalo na nung umuwi ako last year. Sobrang proud sila, 'yung ministry namin. Very proud, kasi sila rin 'yung nag-pray for me, mga prayer requests ko sa kanila ko rin sinasabi.” 

She said she misses spending Christmas at home and how her mom prepares for the family gatherings. 

“Feel ko po kay Mommy na sobrang proud siya sa akin. Kinuwento niya sa akin na pangarap din niya ito dati. Gusto niya mag-artista before, kasi ito talaga 'yung dream niya and happy siya na sa akin po nangyayari lahat ng ito,” she said.

But every time she feels lonely or needs company, her BINI sister Mikha is always there for her.  

“Siya talaga 'yung kapag niyaya kong lumabas, or kapag tinawagan ko siya 'yung hinihingan ko ng advice. Pupuntahan nya ako sa condo, kapag hindi ko kaya mag-isa. Siya 'yung one-call away,” she said.

Growing up in the province, Stacey also does not mind keeping a low-key life outside the limelight. 

“Hindi talaga ako pala-labas, bahay lang ako. Bahay - BINI, bahay- BINI. Lumalabas kami nila mommy, pati 'yung friends ko rin from province pag nagpupunta po sila dito, lumalabas kami. Pero hindi rin po ako ma-post (social media), gusto ko private lagi 'yung pinupuntahan namin,” she said.
