There are comeback stories… and then there is the glitter-bomb resurrection of the SexBomb Girls.
I bumped into their “Daddy" Jim Baltazar, on a recent flight.
Jim is the godfather that help Sexbomb bounce back like a spring, and boy, oh boy, his story wasn’t merely about producing a 25th Anniversary reunion concert, it was destiny wearing platform boots and yelling “Get! Get! Awww!”
"Actually, Rochelle Pangilinan is the only inaanak of mine in the group but now all of them fondly call me Daddy Jim. She, Sunshine, and Mia went to the office and asked if I can help produce their Anniversary concert….I decided to help them produce with the premise that Nancy Yang, Helen Yang and Susan Lim (NY Entourage Productions) will be the main producers since my expertise is Film Production and Nancy’s group is concert production,” the President and CEO of CMB Film Services whom Sexbomb girls call “Daddy Jim” recalled with a smile somewhere between fatherly pride and disbelief.
“I agreed to help produce the concert. We all believed the fans still remembered, still loved them…Araneta Coliseum was sold out! It was a smashing success. Then Nancy Yang had an idea to do round 2. I was hesitant at first but she managed to convince me , her sister Helen and Susan Lim. We sold out again so rounds 3 to 6 followed at ease because of the people’s clamor.”
That spark became the now phenomenal “Get, Get, Aw!: The SexBomb Concert,” a nostalgia tsunami that exploded far beyond expectations.
What started as a reunion concert became one of the biggest comeback stories in Filipino entertainment history.

The original December 2025 show at the Smart Araneta Coliseum sold so strongly that additional shows were mounted at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, including a massive 360-degree stage productions.
Daddy Jim tells Gossip Girl , “Through the concerts, they became the first Filipino act to sell out five MOA Arena shows, with online ticket queues reaching over 100,000 fans. The audience was not merely watching, they were reliving entire chapters of their youth. I saw screaming fans dancing in their seats to 'The Spageti Song,' 'Bakit Papa?' and 'Di Ko Na Mapipigilan.' Mayonnaise even appeared to perform 'Jopay' with Jopay Paguia, creating one of the concert’s most emotional moments. Gary Valenciano, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Ice Seguerra and even P-pop sensations Bini and Alamat joined later shows, proving the group’s appeal now spans generations.”
Critics praised the precision of the choreography, the elaborate staging, and the emotional pull of seeing the iconic dancers together again. Billboard Philippines reportedly called one concert a “living, breathing testament” to the enduring power of the group.
DZRH described it as a night of nonstop dancing and nostalgia. What makes the story even more beautiful is that before the success, many producers reportedly passed on the project. Some members allegedly even invested their own money just to make the reunion happen. Now? The comeback has gone global.

As of the moment the Sexbomb girls just had another sold out concert in Honolulu and will be flying to mainland USA for for more performances and planned tour legs which include the Pechanga Resort and Casino and California dates in Lincoln and Beverly Hills while Canadian cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg have already been booked this July.
As Daddy Jim finished recounting the story, he asked me if he could thank some people that made all six concerts a smashing LP success.
I obliged.
“Thank you to Rochelle Pangilinan and all the Sexbomb Girls, Nancy, Helen and Susan and NY Entourage Production Team, all the production teams especially Directors John Pratts, Paolo Valenciano and Nico Faustino , V-Roll Media, Spective Team, and CMB Film Services Inc.”
One thing became crystal clear: the SexBomb Girls wasn't a forgotten craze. Their songs were a generation’s soundtrack. And now, with confetti cannons blazing and arenas singing every lyric back to them, the Philippines is witnessing what may truly be the greatest comeback in Philippine entertainment history.
