Jopay Paguia expressed her joy as she returned to the concert stage during the recent SexBomb Girls reunion concert, Get Get Aw!.
In an interview with Boy Abunda, Jopay shared that reuniting with the group onstage was something she had long prayed for.
"Sobrang saya, sobrang grateful ako talaga kasi ang tagal ko na pong pinagpre-pray ito eh na sana makasama ko ulit sila lahat sa isang entablado, na talagang bumalik ulit sila sa showbiz, sa pagsasayaw nila, kasi 'yun po 'yung love nila eh, sobrang love na love nila 'yun," she said in an interview with Boy Abunda.
When asked if the SexBomb Girls would be open to collaborating with BINI, Jopay responded enthusiastically, expressing her admiration for the group. "Ako sobang proud ako sa BINI nung nagkaroon po dito talaga kasi bibihira lang po talagang magkaroon ng P-Pop dito talaga. So kung sakali pong makakasayaw namin sila, bakit hindi po? Nakakatuwa po 'yun."
Following their two sold-out concerts in December, SexBomb Girls announced that their Get Get, Aw! concert will have a third day and a fourth day scheduled on February 6 and February 7 respectively at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
The upcoming shows will be directed by Paolo Valenciano and Nico Faustino.
After the recent success of the two concerts, SexBomb Girls leader Rochelle Pangilinan took to social media to express her gratitude to longtime supporters of the group.
"There's something I've been wanting to say—para sa inyo. Sa mga pinalaki ng SexBomb, sa mga sumasayaw sa sala, sa mga nanonood pagkatapos ng klase, sa mga kabisado ang steps kahit hindi pa uso ang tutorial videos… kayo ang backbone namin," she remarked.
Rochelle also opened up about the risk of producing the said concert. "When we decided to do this concert, aminado kami—sumugal kami. Walang gustong mag-produce. Walang kasiguraduhan. Pero tinuloy namin… kasi hindi naman pera ang hangad namin," she shared.
She emphasized that the group's main goal was to give back to the fans who stood by them through the years. "Ang gusto lang namin ay makabawi, makapagpasalamat, at mabigyan kayo ng isang regalo na karapat-dapat sa inyo. Kung paano n’yo kami minahal noon, kung paano n’yo kami binuhat sa bawat stage, kung paano n’yo kami tinuring na bahagi ng buhay n’yo— ’yon ang dahilan kung bakit hindi kami bumawi," she stated.
Rochelle added: "Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit worth it lahat. Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit nagkaroon kami ng lakas ng loob ulit. Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit nagbukas ulit ang ilaw. This concert wasn’t just ours. Inyo ’to. Para sa inyo ’to. At kung ano man ang naibalik namin sa dalawang gabi, kulang pa ’yon sa laki ng utang na loob namin sa inyo. Maraming salamat for growing with us, staying with us, and believing in us—kahit minsan kami mismo, nagduda na. We love you. Always. At hindi namin kalilimutan na kayo ang bumuo sa amin."
