How Rochelle’s Daughter Helped Make the SexBomb Girls’ Reunion Concert Happen
When her 8-year-old said, “You will never be BINI, mom!” Rochelle Pangilinan took it as a challenge, stepping back on stage with the SexBomb Girls.

Rochelle Pangilinan, leader of the iconic SexBomb Girls, recently revealed that her daughter, Shiloh, played a big role in motivating the group’s reunion concert, Get, Get Aw!, which started in December 2025 and was later extended due to fan demand. The series now runs for five nights, with rAWnd 5 on February 8, 2026, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
The spark came from a playful exchange with her daughter. “‘Yung anak ko ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit isa ako sa nag-push ng concert. Kasi sobrang fan si Shiloh ng isang girl group, BINI. Nag-yabang ako, sabi ko, ‘You know what ’nak? I’m the leader before ng isang girl group,’” Rochelle told Karen Davila on her YouTube channel.
BINI is an eight-member Filipino girl group formed in 2020 under ABS-CBN’s Star Hunt Academy.
Her daughter didn’t hold back. “Sabi ng anak ko, ‘You will never be BINI, mom!’ Nanggigil talaga ako, madam. Nag-ngilid luha talaga ko. Tinawag ko si Art, ‘Bhe halika dito, sabihin mo diyan ako leader ng SexBomb! sabihin mo,’” Rochelle added, referring to husband Arthur Solinap.
Rochelle laughed remembering her daughter’s first reaction: “Sino yung SexBomb?”
Rochelle said her daughter’s reaction later changed after seeing the show live, and she could see how proud she was. The reunion concert, which kicked off last December, clearly made an impression on the eight-year-old. “Noong unang concert namin, talon siya nang talon at ramdam ko na sobrang proud niya talaga,” Rochelle said.
The SexBomb Girls became widely known in 1999 through novelty dance hits like “Bakit Papa” and “Spageti Song.” The members later pursued individual projects, with occasional group appearances over the years. Their current reunion concert series brings the group back together on a larger stage.
Beyond the reunion concert, Rochelle also spoke about the values her parents instilled in her, particularly about hard work and self-respect. She recalled being taught at a young age that anything she achieved should come from effort, not shortcuts or favors—a lesson she now keeps in mind as a mother herself.
“‘Yon na lang mabibitbit ko sa pagkatao ko na maipagmamalaki ko, lalo sa anak ko. Na, kahit mahirap ako, proud ako sa sarili ko na hindi mo ako kayang bilhin,” she said.
How Rochelle’s Husband Supports Her Career
While her daughter Shiloh inspired Rochelle to step back on stage with the SexBomb Girls, it’s her husband, Arthur, who has been her steady support behind the scenes. As she said, “Siya ang greatest gift sa akin ni God.”
In the interview, Rochelle became emotional when talking about how Arthur helped her manage the SexBomb Girls reunion concert: “Napakaresponsible ng asawa ko. Sa school, busy ako ngayon, siya ang sundo at hatid. Siya ang nag-aayos ng buhok ng anak ko, siya ang nagpapaligo, siya lahat.”
“Imbes na magalit ‘yung asawa ko kasi wala na akong time. Grabe ‘yung support. Sabi ko nga sa kaniya hindi ko magagawa ito lahat kung hindi dahil sa kaniya,” she added.
She described their life together as the fulfillment of her dreams: “Wala akong Shiloh kung wala siya. ‘Yung buhay namin ni Art talaga, ito po ‘yung pangarap kong buhay. Hindi ganoon kayaman, simpleng buhay pero masaya.”
