MANILA, Philippines — SexBomb Girls leader Rochelle Pangilinan has addressed renewed speculation about an alleged rift with fellow original member Jopay Paguia, amid the group’s continuing reunion activities.
During an appearance on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Rochelle was asked why Jopay and fellow member Sunshine Garcia were not included in the music video for the group’s latest single, “Mama Mama.”
Rather than confirming a personal feud, Rochelle acknowledged that misunderstandings can happen within any group — much like they can within a family.
She emphasized that whether such issues are resolved depends on the people involved and their willingness to address them.
Rochelle: Misunderstandings happen
Rochelle explained that conflicts or misunderstandings can occur even among people who have known each other for years.
Her comments came amid renewed fan speculation about the relationship between her and Jopay, particularly after Jopay’s absence from some SexBomb activities.
However, the available reporting does not establish that Rochelle and Jopay are engaged in a confirmed feud. The rumors have largely been driven by differences in appearances and fans’ observations of the group’s reunion activities.
Jopay previously opened up about SexBomb’s painful breakup
The latest discussion also comes months after Jopay spoke candidly about her departure from SexBomb Girls.
In a January appearance on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,” Jopay recalled how several senior members collectively decided not to renew their contracts with founder and manager Joy Cancio.
Jopay described the decision as painful, saying she eventually found herself without a job or manager. She also reflected that some of the tensions at the time were influenced by youthful emotions and a desire to pursue individual dreams.
Rochelle, meanwhile, previously explained that there was no major fight with Cancio when the original group members went their separate ways. Instead, she said there was simply no clear closure as everyone gradually stopped seeing one another.
Reunion success puts the spotlight back on the group
Despite speculation surrounding individual relationships, the SexBomb Girls have continued their highly successful reunion activities.
The group has staged multiple “Get, Get, Aw!” concerts in 2025 and 2026, with performances featuring Rochelle, Jopay and other members at different points in the reunion series.
The group’s revival has also reached younger audiences. In April, the SexBomb Girls teamed up with Mobile Legends: Bang Bang for a nostalgia-driven collaboration, bringing their famous “Get, Get, Aw!” catchphrase to a new generation of fans. Rochelle described the partnership as evidence that the group’s legacy continues to cross generations.
The reunion momentum has continued as the group announced another concert installment and plans for additional shows.
What really happened between Rochelle and Jopay?
For now, Rochelle’s comments leave room for interpretation.
There is clearly renewed public interest in the relationship between the longtime SexBomb members, but neither the reported comments nor the available coverage establishes a definitive falling-out between Rochelle and Jopay.
What is clear is that the SexBomb Girls’ long history includes periods of separation, unresolved issues and different career paths — while their 2025–2026 reunion has brought many of the members back into the public spotlight.
As fans continue to watch their reunion journey, the question surrounding Rochelle and Jopay remains one of the most talked-about stories surrounding the group’s comeback.
