Rochelle Pangilinan denies conflict among SexBomb girls before she went solo: 'Walang away'

By GMA Integrated News

Rochelle Pangilinan said that there was no conflict between her and her fellow SexBomb girls before she went solo with her career.

On Wednesday's episode of "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," the Kapuso actress said she left the girl group on a good note.

"Walang away," Rochelle said.

"Ang ginawa ko sa SexBomb noon, sabi ko sa kanila kung gusto niyo na umalis, mauna na kayo kasi gusto kong i-settle muna si ate [Joy Cancio], wag muna siya iwan," she added.

According to Rochelle, when she finally decided to take her showbiz career as a solo artist in 2007, she kindly asked for permission from Joy, SexBomb's manager and choreographer.

"Maayos 'yung pagpaalam ko sa kanya. Sabi ko, 'Ate Joy tingin ko kailangan ko na rin makita ang labas ng SexBomb, kung anong meron sa labas na darating ako sa show na wala ako kasamang ka grupo'," she said.

When asked if there was a time that Rochelle didn't want her name associated with the SexBomb girls, the actress said that it wasn't true.

"Hindi po totoo 'yun," she said.

"Mas gusto ko nga sana kaming mag-reunion eh, bago ikasal, gusto ko magkasama-sama muna kaming sumayaw ng buo kasi itong grupo na 'to, dito ako nakilala, dito ako nagsimula, sa Eat Bulaga," she added.

In February, SexBomb girls reunited for a Netflix ad.

Borrowing SexBomb's "Spaghetti Song," the streaming giant announced it had lowered its subscription rates.
