Sexbomb member Jopay Paguia-Zamora is still on a high after the recent three-night success of their reunion concert.
“Nakakatuwa sobrang grateful lang talaga, nandidiyan pa rin sila para sumuporta sa amin. Ang saya lang ng pakiramdam talaga, sabi nga namin, ‘ano gusto nyo pa ba? Pagod na kami!’
The pressure is how to top their previous performances, she said.
Jopay Paguia reveals how religion helped her join SexBomb Girls once again: ‘Pinagpray ko yun’
“Like yung Jopay spot ko na ginagawa ko, everyday kasi binabago ko yung ginagawa ko. Although the ibang choreography hindi, pero yung mga ginagawa kong tricks lalo na yung last day ko yung nagpatihulog ako doon sa ring, akala ko kasi last round na kasi kaya tinodo ko na! Sabi ko, ano ba sunod na gagawin ko? Kakain na ko ng apoy! Hindi joke lang.”
Speaking exclusively to ABS-CBN News, Jopay expressed her disappointment and dismay over the statements made by Alvin Aragon.
Aragon, former actor and member of reality-show Starstruck, is the husband of Izzy, who is a former member of the Sexbomb Girls.
During the fourth night of the "Get, get Aw concert", Izzy reunited with her former group onstage. But she didn’t perform, instead she delivered a message about her faith.
Days after Izzy’s appearance, Alvin granted interviews and made statements about his wife’s former group, their manner of dressing, the way they dance, to name a few.
The statements left a bad taste in Jopay’s mouth.
“Pinaka-sad at masakit na part doon sa aming mga Sexbomb is yung nag-name drop na siya, nadamay na yung mga asawa namin. Yun, be careful lang sana doon sa mga bibitawan mong salita.”
She added, “Meron tamang salita kung paano mo siya bibitawan. Sabi nga, tinuturo lagi sa amin is if you want to disciple ang isang tao, kailangan makita sa'yo.”

Jopay also said that she had no qualms with Izzy’s decision not reuniting with their group.
“Kay Izzy wala naman akong masasabi, alam naman niyang mahal na mahal ko siya. Nirerespeto ko kung ano yung naging desisyon niya from the start, wala akong masabi doon.”
“Kay Alvin, nirespeto naman namin kung ano yung gusto niya, sa buhay niya. Yung mga sinabi niya, it’s in the Bible naman talaga. Nasa bibliya yun. Pero siguro for us, siguro dapat careful tayo sa pagsabi. Kasi hindi naman lahat believers eh. Kung believers man sila, hindi ganun yung approach sana.”
Since the controversial statements came out, Jopay has not reached out to Izzy or any of her groupmates.
“Hindi ako mahilig magmessage sa mga kagrupo ko, so pag may problem doon lang ako magmemesasage. Kasi masakit pa for me. Nadamay na yung asawa namin. So parang teka lang naman.”
A public apology or personal message saying sorry for his statements would suffice, according to Jopay. But for now, all she can say is, “Alvin kung may problema ka, ipagpe-pray ka namin.”
