Right on the heels of their first sold-out reunion concert Get Get Aw! last December 4 at the Araneta Coliseum, iconic all-female dance group the SexBomb dancers did it again with another jam-packed show on December 9, this time at the MOA Arena in Pasay City. After their second successful event, the group’s longtime leader, Rochelle Pangilinan, revealed the struggle behind staging their show and why they decided to do it again for their fans.
In her Instagram post last December 11, she wrote:
"There’s something I’ve been wanting to say—para sa inyo.
Sa mga pinalaki ng SexBomb.
Sa mga sumasayaw sa sala, sa mga nanonood pagkatapos ng klase,
sa mga kabisado ang steps kahit hindi pa uso ang tutorial videos…
kayo ang backbone namin.
"When we decided to do this concert, aminado kami—sumugal kami.
Walang gustong mag-produce. Walang kasiguraduhan.
Pero tinuloy namin… kasi hindi naman pera ang hangad namin.
Ang gusto lang namin ay makabawi, makapagpasalamat,
at mabigyan kayo ng isang regalo na karapat-dapat sa inyo.
"Kung paano n’yo kami minahal noon,
kung paano n’yo kami binuhat sa bawat stage,
kung paano n’yo kami tinuring na bahagi ng buhay n’yo—
’yon ang dahilan kung bakit hindi kami bumawi.
"Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit worth it lahat.
Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit nagkaroon kami ng lakas ng loob ulit.
Kayo ang dahilan kung bakit nagbukas ulit ang ilaw.
"This concert wasn’t just ours.
Inyo ’to.
Para sa inyo ’to.
At kung ano man ang naibalik namin sa dalawang gabi,
kulang pa ’yon sa laki ng utang na loob namin sa inyo.
"Maraming salamat for growing with us,
staying with us,
and believing in us—kahit minsan kami mismo, nagduda na.
"We love you.
Always.
At hindi namin kalilimutan na kayo ang bumuo sa amin. ❤️🔥”

The longtime dancer-turned-actress also shared in another post just how thankful and appreciative she was to those who made their second concert an equally popular success as the first one.
She wrote,
“Kagabi felt different.
Hindi siya repeat. Hindi siya part 2.
It was its own moment — and ang swerte namin na kayo ang kasama namin doon.
"Honestly, habang pinapanood ko kayong pumasok isa-isa,
dalang-dala n’yo ’yung excitement na parang first time ulit.
Ang dami sa inyo galing pa sa malayo, may iba naka-leave pa,
at may mga sumugod kahit pagod galing trabaho — para lang makisaya with us.
"And we felt that.
Lahat.
From the lights, to the screams, to every lyric na sabay n’yong kinanta.
"Hindi ko ma-explain pero kagabi… parang kumpleto.
Parang ang tagal nating naghintay to be in that same room again,
tapos nangyari siya — at sobra siyang worth it.
"Salamat sa bawat tumayo, sumigaw, sumayaw,
sa mga walang pakialam kahit paos na,
sa mga tumawa, sa mga umiyak, sa mga nag-hug,
at sa mga nagbigay ng energy na hindi mauubos.
"Salamat for choosing to spend your night with us
kahit ang dami n’yong pwedeng puntahan, gawin, o paglaanan.
You showed up — and you showed love.
And that means everything.”
Last December 11, the well-loved SexBomb leader also made sure to share her appreciation for those who believed in their vision and gave them the support they needed in order to make their dream concerts come true this month.
She wrote, “Isang Taus Pusong Pasasalamat.
An Open Message para sa lahat.
“Every concert has a spotlight…
but there are people behind that light who make everything possible.
And this post is for them.
"When the idea of the concert first came to life, hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula.
"I only have a dream.
Ang magkasama-sama kaming SB girls.
Isang show. Lahat kami.
For one last time, na mabuo sana kami.
"Naghanap kami ng mga taong tutulong.
Unang nilapitan: Mr. Jim Baltazar. @jgbcmb108
Hindi namin siya tinext.
Hindi kami nag-email.
Pinuntahan namin siya in person — ako kasama sina Mia at Sunshine.
And when we told him our vision, our hopes, our fears…
hindi man lang siya nagdalawang-isip.
He said YES on the spot.
No conditions.
No hesitation.
Just pure trust.
"And that 'yes' opened the doors para magawa namin ’tong concert na ’to.
"Next, si Ms. Susan Lim. @susanlim1008
Siya ang unang tao na nilapitan ko when I was looking for someone accredited with Araneta — at napakahalaga nun. Kasi kapag accredited ka, mabilis ang paperwork, maayos ang proseso, at siguradong legit ang buong operation. In short, mas smooth ang lahat.
"But she did more than that.
She connected us with NY Entourage, kina Ms. Nancy Yang, @nsyshows
Which they agreed and sila ang naging backbone ng buong show.
Production team, technicals, logistics — sila ang tumulong para ma-mount ang lahat.
At kahit first time nilang magtrabaho with multiple producers,
they remained transparent, steady, and reliable from start to finish.
"To my PPL Entertainment and Sparkle family —
my two homes, my two managements…
thank you for the never-ending support.
Hindi lang sa approvals, schedules, or paperwork…
but in giving advice, creative guidance, and believing in me for such a long time.
Ang sarap sa pakiramdam na may dalawang pamilya na sabay na naniniwala sa’yo.
"Special mention sa aming matyagang si Ate Katt, hindi ko inasahan na tatagal ka sa dami namin na kailangan mo asikasuhin…pero hindi ka bumitaw. Iba ka Ate Katt! @ppl_katt
"When people say
'ang ganda ng concert,'
I wish they could see and feel what I really feel behind the curtain —
the meetings, the revisions,
the sleepless nights, the laughs, the panic, the solutions,
and the people who show up every single time.
Sobrang punong-puno ang puso ko ng pasasalamat sa inyong lahat!
"To all of you behind this huge, crazy, amazing and beautiful simple dream… maraming, maraming salamat. This wasn’t just a show. It was a team effort, a shared vision, a family project. A GRAND REUNION. And I’m forever grateful that I got to celebrate it with you. Dakilang AMA, kailanman, hindi mo ako binibigo. Sinasagot mo ang lahat ng prayers ko sa paraang alam mong ikakagulat at ikakabuti ko.”
