Get, Get, Aw!: The SexBomb Concert

Get, Get, Aw!: The SexBomb Concert (stylized GET, GET AW! THE SEXBOMB CONCERT) is a reunion concert by the Filipino pop/dance group SexBomb Girls held in December 2025. The concert's first night took place at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on December 4, 2025, and due to strong demand a second date (branded rAWnd 2) was added for December 9, 2025, at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.^[1] A 3rd show dubbed as "rAWnd 3, The Finale" was announced during the second show, venue and date are yet to be announced. ^[2]

The SexBomb Girls were formed in 1999, originally as a dance troupe appearing on the popular noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!.^[3] Over the early 2000s, they transitioned into recording artists and television stars, releasing novelty hits like The Spaghetti Song, Bakit Papa? and Halukay Ube, and headlining the afternoon drama series Daisy Siete, which ran from 2003 to 2010 for 26 seasons.^[3][4] With their catchy songs, distinctive dance choreography, and television presence, they became one of the most visible pop/dance acts in the Philippines in the 2000s, and remain a significant part of Filipino pop culture nostalgia.^[5] Upon the group's dismissal from their house show Eat Bulaga! in 2011, the SexBomb Girls became freelance and appeared on GMA, ABS-CBN and TV5, while maintaining outside shows. In December 2013, the original members of the dance group went their separate ways. According to Philippine Association of the Record Industry, SexBomb Girls is the best selling girl group of the 2000s in the Philippines by selling over 12 million records (4 studio albums, 4 compilation albums and Christmas singles).^[6]

According to statements made by Rochelle Pangilinan in post-concert interviews, the production of "Get, Get, Aw!: The SexBomb Concert" initially faced financial and logistical challenges. Pangilinan said that she had approached multiple concert producers to stage the reunion, but none agreed to take on the project.^[7] As a result, five members of the group reportedly contributed their own funds to independently finance the concert in order for it to proceed as planned.^[7]

On September 14, 2025, a teaser video was posted on social media by members of the group, announcing a reunion concert slated for December 4, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. The post was accompanied by the caption “Para sa mga pinalaki ng SexBomb!” (transl. For those who grew up with SexBomb).^[8][4] According to the interview of group leader Rochelle Pangilinan with entertainment host Boy Abunda, the concert was being conceptualized for a long time but due to scheduling challenges, it was never materialized. The concert was produced by NY Entourage Productions and directed by John Prats.^[9] Promotional teasers showcased members performing signature dance moves, invoking nostalgia among longtime fans.^[10] The production was advertised as a multi-act show, featuring performances of the group's classic hits, dance numbers, and guest appearances.^[11]

The reunion concert featured a wide roster of original and former members of the SexBomb Girls, bringing together performers from both the SexBomb Singers and SexBomb Dancers. Press coverage noted the participation of founding member Rochelle Pangilinan, along with longtime performers Jopay Paguia, Aira Bermudez, Che-Che Tolentino, Mia Pangyarihan, Sunshine Garcia, and Weng Ibarra, among others.^[12]The concert’s setlist drew heavily from the group’s early-2000s catalogue, including performances of their most iconic hits such as "’Di Ko Na Mapipigilan," "Bakit Papa?," and "Spageti Song." These numbers were staged using refreshed arrangements but retained elements of the original choreography that helped popularize the group nationwide.^[12]

Media reports highlighted the precision and synchronicity displayed in the ensemble numbers, noting that despite years away from large-scale touring, the members “delivered every lyric with accuracy and executed choreography that mirrored their early peak.”^[13]Some segments of the show were presented as thematic throwbacks, incorporating recreated costumes, early-2000s styling, and large-screen backdrops displaying archival footage of the group’s performances from Eat Bulaga! and Daisy Siete. This staging was noted by reviewers as a deliberate nod to the visual identity that made the SexBomb Girls a dominant pop-cultural influence in the Philippines during the early millennium.^[14]

The concert also included collaborative performances, such as appearances by the EB Babes and the comedy-dance troupe SexBalls, in addition to guest performances from artists associated with the SexBomb era. These interludes added comedic, theatrical, and musical elements that balanced the high-intensity dance numbers and contributed to the show’s overall pacing.^[15]

The concert was widely framed as both a commercial success and a cultural moment: a revival of a group that helped shape early 2000s Filipino pop culture. It demonstrated that acts from previous decades — particularly those associated with dance, novelty songs, and variety-show fame — can still draw large audiences when re-packaged with nostalgia and proper production.^[3] It also underscored the continuing influence of the SexBomb Girls’ legacy on contemporary Filipino popular music, especially in the context of renewed interest in nostalgia-driven concerts and throwback events.

The overall Sexbomb Girls collective members comprised many individuals over the years, making it a large, evolving group rather than a fixed number. However, only 20 members are present in the show which consist mainly the original line up of Sexbomb since 1999.^[2]

This setlist represents the opening night setlist performed on December 4, 2025, in Quezon City. Variations to the setlist over the course of the concert will be noted below.^[16]

Later segments featured individual and collaborative performances, including a solo production by Jopay Paguia to “Jopay,” joined by her husband Joshua Zamora. Rochelle Pangilinan performed “Baile” accompanied by a marching band entering from the audience, with the rap section originally by Gloc-9 performed live by Elias TV. Rochelle was later joined by Jopay, Aira, and Abstract Dancers for NSYNC's “Tearin' Up My Heart,” followed by a dance collaboration featuring Dingdong Dantes and Arthur Solinap to “Do You Really Want Me (Show Respect).”^[19]

The SexBomb Dancers returned with a medley of dance hits previously performed by the group on television, including “Heaven Is a Place on Earth,” “Angelina,” “Chihuahua,” “Step into the Rhythm,” and “Mamãe Eu Quero.” This led into the group’s first single, “Bakit Papa?”, which transitioned into a dance-battle-style segment with the comedy group SexBalls, followed by a joint performance of “Halukay Ube.”^[23]

The concert’s final acts included a Christmas-themed segment featuring “Pikpiripikpik (Busina ng Pasko),” “Feeling Christmas (Kung Ano Ang Nasa Puso Mo),” “Silent Night Na Naman,” and “Wish Ko sa Pasko.” The finale centered on “Spageti Song,” introduced by a video montage of public performances of the dance, with the University of the East Pep Squad opening the number. The SexBomb Girls appeared in yellow cheer-inspired outfits for an extended performance, concluding the show with a grand confetti release before exiting as the LED screens descended.
