Actress-dancer Rochelle Pangilinan took to social media to reflect on the journey of the SexBomb Girls as they prepare for the final leg of their reunion concert series, Get, Get Aw!, set this April 30.
On her Instagram page, Rochelle looked back on how the group overcame uncertainty during the first run of their comeback show.
“Parang kailan lang… Nasa backstage kami ng rAWnd 1—may kaba, may gigil, may tanong kung may manonood pa ba… kung may makakaalala pa ba sa amin. Paglabas namin, narinig namin kayo. Doon nagsimula ulit ang lahat,” Rochelle wrote.
She added, “Sa rAWnd 2, mas naging matapang kami.
Sa rAWnd 3, naramdaman naming buhay pa.
Sa rAWnd 4, muntik kaming madurog.
Pero sa rAWnd 5… bumangon kami—dahil sa inyo.”
With just over a week before the finale, Rochelle admitted to feeling a mix of exhaustion and sadness as the group prepares for what could be their last performance together.
“Hindi ko alam kung anong uunahin ko… pagod ng isip kakaisip ng bagong prod para sa FINAL rAWnd, o pagod ng katawan kakaaral ng steps at kanta. Hindi ko alam… pero nalulungkot ako. Kasi alam kong pagkatapos nito—tapos na,” she stated.
Although they will be having other shows, Rochelle acknowledged the uncertainty of when they will reunite again as they have took different paths since they left their group years ago.
“Oo, may world tour pa…pero pagkatapos nun, maghihiwalay na ulit kami. Mauulit pa kaya ito? Mauulit pa kaya yung ganitong pagod… na nakakaiyak pero punong-puno ng pagmamahal?” she said.
Rochelle also grew emotional reflecting on the bond she has with her fellow members, saying: “May mga gabi na bigla na lang may bumabara sa lalamunan ko… biglang maiipon yung luha… kasi ramdam ko na— huling laban na. Babalik na ulit kami sa kanya-kanya naming buhay. At hindi ko maiaalis… mahal ko ang mga babaeng ‘to. Away-bati, oo. Pero sa huli… alam naming mahal namin ang isa’t isa,” she stated.
As one of the key people behind the production, Rochelle said she is doing everything she can to make the final show memorable for both the group and their fans.
“Siguro kaya ko pa rin nilalabanan ang pagod— kasi gusto ko silang bigyan ng isang napakagandang alaala… Na balang araw, sa pagtanda namin… may maikukwento kami sa mga apo namin— na minsan… nanalo kami sa laban,” she said.
