Sirene Sutton: Back for seconds?

It’s no secret that Sirene Sutton was disappointed when she completed her Bb. Pilipinas 2017 journey on the losing end of the competition. I spoke to her during a contest judging months after the national engagement, and I felt like she wasn’t keen on returning to the pageant scene anymore. I left it at that and did not push the matter any further. Time can heal setbacks, I know.

And after almost three years, Sirene must already have a completely renewed mindset on the beauty game. And if she does pursue the return in 2020, then we can all welcome her with open arms – regardless of whether she joins one or the other or another.

We just might see the fiercer version of this beauty soon. I hope.

Sirene Sutton: Ready for a big comeback this year?

When Sirene Sutton joined Bb. Pilipinas 2017 and came out of it without a title to be proud of, she was disappointed to say the least. She thought she gave it her best at the time. Months after the summer journey, she remained uncertain whether a second attempt in the nationals is worth reconsidering. Personally, though, I have always told her to give it one more shot because she has what it takes to become a big league winner.

I am aware that she has been training with Aces & Queens. Flag bearer of the beauty camp or not she has the goods and the preparation to make it. Let’s see if she will see through the edition this year and become a second-time Binibini and – fingers crossed – a titleholder this time around.

Who among you misses Binibini 13 of Bb. Pilipinas 2017 the most? Well, Sirene Sutton has long moved on from the experience of joining our favorite national beauty pageant. She has picked up the pieces of whatever happened during the finals.

Just yesterday, my coverage partner Joy Arguil has spotted her walking the ramp for Designer Jared Servando during the Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2017 at the Discovery Primea. And she is definitely back in all her elements and showing that she is indeed a runway diva more than anything else.

Who among you wants Sirene going for a 2nd chance in Bb. Pilipinas? Let me hear your inputs now, dear readers. 🙂

My ♥️ goes out to Sirene Sutton

Since everyone is talking about whatever is going on inside BPCI, and I still cannot blog about that subject matter until everything is finally on the record, might as well make a post about Sirene Sutton who is getting all sorts of punches left and right for what happened during her Bb. Pilipinas 2017 Q&A.

You have to cut her some slack because the girl should not get all the pointing fingers at this point. It’s not easy answering a question when the horns and noisemakers of different pageant groups are simultaneously distracting whoever is answering onstage, let alone do it in front of a big audience. And I know for a fact that Sirene can easily answer about the responsibility of giving back to the parents for raising her up. After all, she is the family breadwinner and her life somehow parallels the situation.

Yes, nerves got into Sirene. No doubt about that. She had mental block. No excuses about that. She wasn’t sure if she heard the question properly because of the loud noise. Now she could have asked for the question a 3rd time but that would be pushing her luck too far and the clock is ticking. She ran out of time. End of story.

Who is to blame for the unfortunate turn of events on her part? Is she the only one deserving of the bashings because of being the focal point of the failed Q&A performance? Or could it also be a shortcoming of whoever trained her in this regard? IMO, there’s really no fool-proof way of escaping the claws and the flaws of publicly answering a question, unless she has been conditioned by trainers to go outside of memorizing answers and speaking from the heart instead. It’s not as easy as picking a question from the fish bowl and checking/correcting on what and how she would answer something. Rehearsed answers are not always the best option. And as I have told mentored pageant participants in the past, you do Q&A/interviews to express and not to impress. Expression is digging deep inside and saying something that is uniquely yours, not based on the experiences or thoughts of another individual.

So back to Sirene. Let us not push the girl too much because she has already cried over the lost opportunity. She is trying to pick up the pieces. And adding harsh words to an emotionally affected individual won’t help her get back into the groove and move on.
