December 2025, one of the Philippines’ most beloved girl groups — the SexBomb Girls — surprised generations of fans with the announcement of a massive reunion concert series titled Get, Get, Aw! The SexBomb Concert.
On Sunday (8 February 2026), this well loved girl dance group welcomed their fifth and final ‘rAWnd’ for their highly anticipated reunion concert. What was originally planned as a one-night throwback show at the Smart Araneta Coliseum quickly became a multi-date phenomenon, selling out night after night and prompting additional shows at the SM Mall of Asia Arena due to overwhelming demand.
The series celebrates not just nostalgia but also the impact and legacy of the group in Filipino pop culture. The tagline “Para sa mga pinalaki ng SexBomb!” (For those raised by SexBomb!) became a rallying cry for fans who grew up with their music, dance, and TV presence.
Who Are the SexBomb Girls?
The SexBomb Girls started in 1999 under choreographer Joy Cancio as a dance troupe through a high rating noontime show Eat Bulaga and later grew into a multimedia force — dominating television, music, and even sitcom-style shows like GMA 7’s Daisy Siete.
Over the years, many performers have been part of the group, but the reunion centers around its most iconic and influential members.
At the heart of the reunion were the women who defined the SexBomb era and carried its spirit back to the stage. Rochelle Pangilinan, the group’s long-time leader and guiding force, stood front and center—anchoring the comeback with the same strength and confidence that made her an icon years ago. Beside her was Jopay Paguia, whose unmistakable energy, dance prowess, and charisma once again reminded fans why she remains a crowd favorite. Completing the powerful lineup were Aira Bermudez, Weng Ibarra, Sunshine Garcia, Mia Pangyarihan, Evette Onayan, Monic Icbang, Cheche Tolentino, Jacky Rivas, Mae Acosta, and Cynthia Yapchingco—each bringing her own history, personality, and contribution to the collective magic onstage. Though Jackie Estevez was unable to join due to health reasons, her presence was deeply felt; a touching quiz and mention during the show sparked an outpouring of love from fans, highlighting not only her importance to the group but also the enduring sisterhood that binds the SexBomb Girls together beyond the spotlight.
These women helped shape Filipino dance pop in the 2000s, and through Daisy Siete and their hit songs like ‘Di Ko Na Mapipigilan’, they became cultural mainstays — not just entertainers but icons for a generation.
Star-Studded Guest Appearances
The concerts weren’t just nostalgia — they were events filled with surprises and collaborations across OPM.
Adding even more color and meaning to the reunion were the guest artists who shared the stage with the SexBomb Girls across different shows, turning each night into a true celebration of Filipino music and pop culture. One of the most talked-about moments came when BINI, the nation’s leading P-pop girl group, joined SexBomb for an emotional and electrifying performance of Halukay Ube—a powerful meeting of generations that sent the crowd into cheers and proud nostalgia. The stage was further elevated by Regine Velasquez, Asia’s Songbird herself, whose soaring vocals reminded everyone of the timeless strength of OPM, while Gloc-9 brought sharp lyricism and fire that resonated deeply with longtime fans. Crowd favorites EB Babes and SexBalls injected humor, swagger, and high-energy dance numbers, reconnecting audiences with the playful spirit of the early 2000s. Across the concert series, icons and contemporary stars alike—Dingdong Dantes, Arthur Solinap, Sam Concepcion, La Diva, Apo Hiking Society, Jason Dy, Alamat, Gary Valenciano, Ice Seguerra, and more—took part in the celebration, transforming the reunion into more than a comeback show, but a living bridge between eras, styles, and stories that define Filipino entertainment.
Each guest appearance connected different eras of Filipino pop culture — giving fans both nostalgia and fresh collaborations.
People’s Reactions — From Fans to the Public
The response wasn’t just big — it was emotional, enthusiastic, and full of love:
Sold-Out, Multi-Show Demand
Fans snapped up tickets so fast that what was meant to be a one-night comeback turned into at least five rounds of shows — and even talk of a Round 6 and a world tour thanks to public clamor.
Nostalgia + New Energy
Audiences spanning generations — from millennials to Gen Z — flooded arenas, singing along, dancing, and sharing heartfelt memories of how the SexBomb Girls shaped their youth. Social posts teemed with past-meets-present photos and reactions like “Di ko na mapipigilan ang kaligayahan!” (I can’t contain my happiness!) from those attending.
Social Buzz
Online fans proudly declared themselves “pinalaki ng SexBomb” — a fun way of saying they grew up with the group’s music and TV presence. This phrase even inspired memes, celebratory posts, and fervent discussions about which concert round was the best ever.
What the Public Can Gain — Beyond the Music
The success of the SexBomb Girls reunion goes far beyond sold-out arenas and viral moments—it speaks to the enduring impact of their legacy. Even after decades away from the spotlight, the group reminded the public that true cultural influence doesn’t fade. Their connection with fans, old and new, proved that when artists remain authentic and engaged, their work continues to resonate across generations.
The concerts were also a celebration of empowerment and collaboration. By bringing together OPM legends and rising stars like BINI, the SexBomb Girls highlighted the power of community over competition and showcased how women in performance can inspire, support, and uplift one another. The reunion further demonstrated creative risk-taking, with the group self-producing parts of the shows and investing in their vision—a bold move that emphasizes the value of artistic ownership even when traditional industry support isn’t guaranteed.
Beyond the music and dance, the reunion underscored how shared memories build community. From the iconic routines to beloved songs, each performance became more than entertainment—it became a shared experience that connected fans to one another and to the culture that shaped them. In the end, the SexBomb Girls didn’t just stage a comeback; they reminded the public that art, when shared, has the power to create lasting bonds and lifelong memories.
Looking Ahead
With talks of additional rounds and a world tour on the horizon, the SexBomb Girls’ journey is far from over. Their comeback has become one of the most talked-about chapters in recent Filipino entertainment — a testament to the power of nostalgia, community, creativity, and the timeless appeal of OPM legends.
