Alvin Aragon has directly addressed accusations from netizens who claimed he was the reason why his wife, Izzy Trazona, left the SexBomb Girls and did not participate in the group’s reunion concerts, firmly denying that he had any control over that chapter of her life.
The former StarStruck season one alum spoke about the issue during a DWAR Abante Radyo interview on February 13, after online discussions intensified when Izzy first revealed that she had asked Alvin’s permission before making a guest appearance at SexBomb Girls’ rAWnd 4 concert and that he prayed over her to decide the approval.

For some netizens, that statement fueled speculation that her husband had been preventing her from rejoining the group's performances.
In the interview, Alvin clarified that seeking his guidance was part of their dynamics as a married couple grounded in faith.
“Aakyat lang sa stage kailangan pa ipag-pray. Tapos sinasabi nila controlling ako, pala-desisyon ako. Ako ang boss? Hindi, may gobyerno kasi sa family. The husband must take the lead. Ang leader ng husband, ang Panginoong Hesus,” he said.
"I read the word (of God) and I see na nirerespeto niya ‘yung leadership ng husband. Lahat ng babae dapat ganon dito sa bansa natin at sa ibang bansa," he said, explaining that leadership in marriage does not mean domination and stressed that Izzy willingly respects this structure.
He also pointed out that Izzy’s resignation from the SexBomb Girls contradicts the timeline of their relationship as they only got married in 2012, years after her departure. According to him, Izzy stepped away from the group after embracing Christianity, believing she was being called to a different path.
“Sinasabi nila, ‘Kaya pala wala sa SexBomb si Izzy dahil sa lalaking ’yan, eh.’ Teka lang, ha. Matagal nang wala si Izzy sa SexBomb, 2009 pa lang. Hindi pa nga ako ’yung asawa eh,” he said. “Sino ang nagpa-resign [kay Izzy] sa SexBomb? Ang Panginoon noong naging Christian si Izzy. Pinag-resign ng Lord.”
“Sabi ni Lord kay Izzy, ‘Come, follow me. I will make you fishers of men.’ Nag-obey si Izzy dun. Kausap niya si Joy Cancio, sabi niya, ‘Ate Joy, magreresign na po ako sa SexBomb,” he recounted.

He maintained that Izzy’s resignation was not influenced by romance or finances, but by her convictions about certain aspects of the group’s branding and performances.
“‘yung pangalan po namin, damit po namin, at sayaw po namin,’” he said, relaying Izzy’s reasoning.
Alvin elaborated the concern on the group’s name, saying that the word “sex” in “SexBomb” introduces concepts that are not appropriate especially for children.
“Iwas doon. Hindi pleasing ‘yun. Hindi magandang impluwensiya sa maraming tao sa Pilipinas, sa mga bata especially.”
He went on to discuss issues on clothing, explaining that some outfits worn during performances could be provocative and may contribute to men entertaining lustful thoughts.
“May damit kasing gagaling ka, pero may damit na kita yung cleavage mo tsaka legs. Walang lalaking magnanasa kung maayos ka manamit.”
He also pointed out the veteran girl group’s choreography and drew a distinction between what is considered ‘wholesome dancing’ and movements he described as ‘seductive’ for men.
“Merong wholesome na sayaw, merong sayaw na seducing. Sige, sumayaw ka ng seducing. Anong mararamdaman ng lalaki pag may sumasayaw na seducing ang atake? Pag wholesome? Pag wholesome maayos naman eh, masaya lang. Pero pag seducing, nako, iba ang nararamdaman natin. Alam niyo yan, men.”
Alvin reiterated that Izzy’s choice to distance herself from that environment was an act of obedience to God rather than a restriction imposed by him.
“So umiwas si Izzy dun. Bakit? ‘Yun ang will ni Lord eh,” he emphasized. “Matagal nang wala si Izzy, ‘wag mo kong sisihin na dahil sa akin kaya wala siya sa concert.”
He also responded to comparisons between him and the husbands of other SexBomb members who were seen supporting their wives’ reunion performances.
“Yun ba ang basehan ng mabait na husband? Payagan lang mag-concert [yung asawa nila]? Parang ang babaw naman...Ano bang suot nila? Ako ayoko na yung asawa ko na naka-towel lang sa poster,” he said.
Alvin went on: “Niligawan ko nga asawa ko simula 2011 hanggang bago kami ikasal, naging fiance kami. Sabi ko, ‘Hindi ko siya hahalikan, eh, until the pastor, you may kiss your bride.’ Tapos papayagan ko siya mag-concert para mag-towel lang, na makikita ng gaano karaming lalaki sa buong Pilipinas? Tapos pasasayawin ko na naka-see through, labas ang cleavage, labas ang legs? I want to protect my wife. Ako lang titingin, kasi ako ang husband.”
For Alvin, protecting his wife is part of his role as a husband, and he stood firm amid criticism.
“Dapat nga hindi eh. Dapat nga, ‘yung asawa mo, ingatan mo. Hindi mo hahayaang magsuot ng mga damit na para pagnasahan ng mga lalaki,” he said.
Despite the backlash, Alvin maintained that Izzy’s absence from the reunion concerts was consistent with her devotion and personal convictions. When she eventually appeared at rAWnd 4, he said there was a clear purpose behind it – to share her faith and speak about the love of Jesus during the event.
