===2001-2002: Eat Bulaga!, The SexBomb Singers and ''Unang Putok''=== The searched for SexBomb Dancers continued until 2001, the finalists, Mae Acosta, Grace Nera, sisters, Sandy and Cheche Tolentino and Weng Ibarra were then added to group. The group continued their skit as background dancers in Eat Bulaga! in the segment ''"Laban o Bawi"''.<ref name="GMA1">{{cite web |last1=Almo |first1=Nherz |title=IN PHOTOS: Meet the adorable children of SexBomb Girls |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/photos/in-photos-meet-the-adorable-children-of-sexbomb-girls/13923/ |website=GMA Network |access-date=16 January 2026}}</ref> They provided energetic dance numbers and lively chants during the game, encouraging contestants and the audience. Their fame exploded through this segment on Eat Bulaga!, transitioning from backup dancers to stars.<ref name="GMA1" /><ref name="DT1" />
The first attempt of creating a singing compartment for SexBomb occurred in late 2001 with Rochelle Pangilinan (the group leader), Jopay Paguia, Evette Pabalan (discovered in 2001 Eat Bulaga! singing contest, impersonating Alanis Morissette), Weng Ibarra, Sugar Mercado and Aibee Chiongson.<ref name="Ppop">{{cite web |last1=Catienza |first1=Cleo |title=The P-pop herstory: A retrospective look into the P-pop girl group transformation |url=https://lifestyle.inquirer.net/74390/p-pop-herstory-girl-groups/ |website=Inquirer |date=April 14, 2023 |access-date=16 January 2026}}</ref> However, due to Chiongson and Mercado's departure from the group, this first attempt dissolved quickly. In 2002, their management again attempted to form two groups separating the singers and dancers, hence, The SexBomb Singers and The SexBomb Dancers were formed. The SexBomb Dancers was headed by Aira Bermudez while The SexBomb Singers was headed by main leader Rochelle Pangilinan, with Evette Pabalan as the lead vocalist.<ref name="DT1" /> The final singers consist of Rochelle Pangilinan, Evette Pabalan, Jopay Paguia, Weng Ibarra, Monic Icban and Izzy Trazona. However, collectively the group is still called as The SexBomb Girls including all release and promotional materials and projects of The SexBomb Singers.<ref name="Ppop" />
Mid 2002, The SexBomb Girls released their debut studio album, ''Unang Putok'', led by its first single, "Bakit Papa?".<ref name="GMA1" /> The song quickly gained popularity, in part due to its incorporation of the "Laban o Bawi" and "Get! Get! Aww!" chant from the variety show Eat Bulaga!, which contributed to its widespread recognition among Filipino audiences.<ref name="PS1" /> Their first studio album, ''Unang Putok'' was a massive hit and included the hit songs "Crush Kita", "Pretty Little Baby", "Di Ko Na Mapipigilan" ("I Can No Longer Stop") and "Tulog Na Baby" ("Sleep Now Baby"). The album received quadruple platinum certification (4x Platinum) from the Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI).<ref name="V1">{{cite web |title=Get, get, aw!: The Sexbomb Girls and their explosive influence |url=https://vantage.theguidon.com/get-get-aw-the-sexbomb-girls-and-their-explosive-influence/ |website=Vantage Magazie |date=December 2, 2021 |publisher=Vantage Magazine |access-date=16 January 2026}}</ref> Due to the massive success of ''Bakit Papa'', the SexBomb Girls debuted in their own movie of the same title which was released in the Philippines in the same year.<ref name="IMdb" >{{cite web |title=Bakit Papa Full cast & crew |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343399/fullcredits/ |website=IMDb |access-date=16 January 2026}}</ref> The Sexbomb Singers took the lead, with the SexBomb Dancers playing support.

Analyses of Filipino pop culture have highlighted that audiences often embrace female pop and dance acts as icons within queer communities, where expressive performance, bold aesthetics, and dance-driven music frequently intersect with LGBTQ+ celebration and identity construction.<ref name="BB10" /><ref name="WOM" /> In this context, the SexBomb Girls are sometimes mentioned alongside other female pop performers as figures whose work provided a space for all gender identities to engage with traditionally effeminate dance performance and community enjoyment, contributing to a broader culture of inclusivity and expression in Philippine popular music. <ref name="BB10">{{cite web |title=How Female Pop Stars Become LGBTQ+ Icons |date=May 16, 2024 |url=https://billboardphilippines.com/music/features/mabuhay-ang-mga-bakla-how-pop-stars-become-queer-icons-pride-month-2024/ |publisher=Billboard Philippines |access-date=2026-01-17}}</ref>
== Public image == Although the SexBomb Girls enjoyed widespread popularity and became a defining presence in early 2000s Filipino pop culture, they were not without criticism and controversy regarding their public image.

Academic analysis of Ateneo de Manila University has examined the SexBomb Girls as a social phenomenon that shaped representations of women in Philippine media.<ref name="WOM" /> In a semiotic study, Trina Leah Mendoza argued that the group's frequent broadcasts on Eat Bulaga! contributed to normalizing the presence of "sexy female background dancers" in noontime television, influencing audience perceptions of gender and performance in the cultural landscape of the Philippines.<ref name="WOM">{{cite journal|last1=Mendoza|first1=Trina Leah|title=Reinforcing myths about women in Philippine culture: Semiotic analyses of the SexBomb Girls in Eat Bulaga's Laban o Bawi|journal=Kritika Kultura|issue=33|year=2019|doi=10.13185/1656-152x.1805|url=https://archium.ateneo.edu/kk/vol1/iss33/13|access-date=2026-01-19}} </ref>
==Philanthropy== The SexBomb Girls have engaged in a range of philanthropic and community-focused activities over the years, both during their initial run in the 2000s and in later reunions and public events.<ref name="SPT" />
One of the group's documented charity efforts occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic when several former members reunited in a group video call performance to raise funds for much-needed medical supplies for healthcare workers on the front lines of the crisis.<ref>{{cite web |title=WATCH: SexBomb Girls reunite for COVID-19 frontliners |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/29/20/watch-sexbomb-girls-reunite-for-covid-19-frontliners |website=ABS-CBN |access-date=17 January 2026}}</ref> The online event, which featured members such as Rochelle Pangilinan, Weng Ibarra, Yvette Pabalan, Jopay Paguia, and Monic Icban, aimed to support pandemic relief efforts through entertainment and fan engagement.<ref name="SPT">{{cite web |last1=Martelino |first1=Ashley |title=SexBomb Girls Reunite Over Video Call to Perform "Daisy Siete" |url=https://www.spot.ph/entertainment/movies-music-tv/81974/sexbomb-girls-reunite-for-covid-19-relief-funds-a3440-20200428? |website=SPOT Philippines |access-date=17 January 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Layug |first1=Margaret Claire |title=Sexbomb Singers reunite online, perform 'Daisy Siete' |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/showbiz/chikaminute/735887/original-members-of-sexbomb-girls-reunite-for-a-special-online-performance/story/ |website=GMA Network |date=April 28, 2020 |access-date=17 January 2026}}</ref>
In addition to digital fundraisers, the SexBomb Girls have taken part in live events that combine entertainment with opportunities for community support.

Beyond formal charity structures, the group has been involved in dance workshops and community bonding activities. In 2009, they conducted a summer dance workshop titled "Let’s Get Aww!

The group has also participated in public service initiatives. Notably, in the run-up to the 2010 Philippine general election, the SexBomb Girls performed in the ''"Bilog na Hugis Itlog"''("egg-shaped circle") voter education campaign, a music video and outreach effort produced by GMA Network with the Commission on Elections and the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting to teach voters how to properly mark automated ballots.<ref>{{cite web |title=GMA Network unveils Sexbombs doing voter education |date=December 7, 2009 |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/178740/gma-network-unveils-sexbombs-doing-voter-education/story/ |publisher=GMA News Online |access-date=2026-01-17}}</ref> The campaign was widely aired and included live participatory events such as flash mobs with students to engage communities in fun and memorable voter instruction, and received official support from Comelec spokespeople.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sexbomb Dancers joined by students in poll campaign |date=March 7, 2010 |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/185523/sexbomb-dancers-joined-by-students-in-poll-campaign/story/ |publisher=GMA News Online |access-date=2026-01-17}}</ref> <ref>{{cite web |last1=Calonzo |first1=Andreo |title=Comelec exec: Foreign poll officials 'blown away' by 'Bilog na Hugis Itlog' |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/topstories/nation/205866/comelec-exec-foreign-poll-officials-blown-away-by-bilog-na-hugis-itlog/story/ |website=GMA Network |publisher=GMA Network |access-date=30 January 2026}}</ref> In an undergraduate thesis examining the campaign, the author analyzed the SexBomb Dancers’ performance and public reception of the advertisement through classic communication theories.<ref>{{cite thesis |last=Jue |first=J.J. |title=A Case Study of the Bilog na Hugis Itlog: For the People or for the Network? |type=Unpublished undergraduate thesis |year=2011 |institution=University of the Philippines College of Mass Communication |url=https://iskomunidad.upd.edu.ph/index.php/A_Case_Study_of_the_Bilog_na_Hugis_Itlog:_For_the_People_or_for_the_Network%3F |access-date=2026-01-31 }}</ref>

Several of the SexBomb Girls’ hits achieved widespread recognition in the Philippines and have maintained cultural visibility well beyond their original release.

==Notes== {{notelist}}
==SB NewGen== In 2013, when the original members of SexBomb Girls went their separate ways. Jara Cancio formed the '''SexBomb NewGen''' or '''SB NewGen''' (Sexbomb New Generation). The group is known to represent the new generation of the SexBomb Girls, producing all-female talents with expertise in dance genres such as hip-hop, contemporary and urban, as well as in singing, slowly deviating from the original group's main focus on novelty and jazz.<ref name="SS" /><ref>{{cite web |last1=Eusebio |first1=Aarron Brent |title=LOOK: SexBomb Girls are looking for new members |url=https://www.gmanetwork.com/entertainment/showbiznews/look-sexbomb-girls-are-looking-for-new-members/47232/ |website=GMA Network |date=January 6, 2019 |access-date=17 January 2026}}</ref>
In 2014, SB NewGen were re-launched under a new company, J Entertainment, as the NewGen SexBomb Girls with three separate compartments: SexBomb NewGen (performed in national television), SexBomb Dancers (performed in outside shows), and SexBomb GKiss (the singers). SexBomb GKiss was initially composed of Louise Bolton, Dona Veliganio, and Joyce Canimo, but was later augmented in early 2015 with former original Mocha Girl: Hershey Delas Alas and with back-up SexBomb Dancers Jacky Rivas, Ynna Bayot, and Angel Gavilan.<ref name="JARA" /> Upon the departure of Louise, Jacky, Dona, Joyce, Ynna, Angel, and Hershey in late 2015, the current line-up of the NewGen SexBomb Girls (now formally known as SexBomb NewGen) was established. Though no singing compartment is currently on the air, NewGen leader Jane Lumabi and hip-hopper Nerizza Germina stand as SB NewGen's singers in their shows in 2016.<ref name="JARA" />
With Germina leaving in 2017 for the Mocha Girls, Eunice Andrea was added to the SB NewGen roster in early 2017 to stand as the lead singer of the girl group in mall tours and daily shows. On August 4, 2017, SB NewGen is co-managed in unison by J Entertainment and Viva Artists Agency.<ref name="JARA">{{cite web |title=EXCLUSIVE: Sexbomb Newgen manager Jara Cancio promotes body positivity to her dancers |url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/2019/1/30/fresh-scoops/exclusive-sexbomb-newgen-manager-jara-cancio-prom-34155 |website=ABS-CBN |access-date=17 January 2026}}</ref> In February 2019, SB NewGen released their first self-composed single in their music video entitled "Want U" featuring Michael "Cursebox" Negapatan under Viva Records and Cursebox Productions.<ref>{{cite web |title=SB NewGen - Want U feat.
