Former actor Alvin Aragon sparked fresh online debate after criticizing Bulacan Vice Governor Alex Castro for allowing his wife, Sunshine Garcia, to perform in the recent SexBomb Girls reunion concert.
Aragon’s remarks came after netizens compared him to Castro, who publicly showed support for Garcia during the successful reunion shows. Critics had earlier blamed Aragon for supposedly influencing his wife, former SexBomb member Izzy Trazona, to step away from the group and not fully participate in the concert.
In an interview over DWAR, Aragon rejected comparisons to Castro and other supportive husbands.
“Kinu-compare pa ako sa asawa ni Sunshine na vice governor, sa asawa ng ibang SexBomb na mabait daw sila kasi pinayagan daw nila yung asawa nila na mag-concert.
“Ayun ba yung basehan ng mabait na husband, payagan lang mag-concert? Parang ang babaw naman nu’n. Saka ano bang suot nila? Ako, ayoko yung asawa ko naka-towel lang sa poster.
“Sinasabi nila, ‘Buti pa yung asawa ni Sunshine, vice governor, pinayagan sila mag-concert.’ Dapat nga hindi, e. Dapat nga, yung asawa mo, ingatan mo.
“Hindi mo hahayaang magsuot ng mga damit na para pagnasaan ng mga lalaki,” he said.
Aragon also emphasized that his stance is rooted in his desire to protect his wife.
“Niligawan ko nga asawa ko simula 2011 hanggang bago kami ikasal, naging fiancé kami. Sabi ko, ‘Hindi ko siya hahalikan, until the pastor (says), 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,” he added.
Aragon clarified that Izzy’s departure from the SexBomb Girls happened long before their relationship.
“Teka lang, ha, matagal nang wala si Izzy sa SexBomb, 2009 pa lang. Hindi pa nga ako yung asawa, e.
“Sino ang nagpa-resign (kay Izzy) sa SexBomb? Ang Panginoon noong naging Christian si Izzy. Pinag-resign ng Lord,” he said.
Despite the controversy, the SexBomb Girls’ reunion concerts were widely celebrated, with several members sharing photos of their husbands and partners attending a dinner gathering after the shows.
Sunshine Garcia posted photos with Castro and other partners, captioning it: “Last night ganap. Dinner meeting with SB Girls. Syempre kasama ang mga hubbies.”
Meanwhile, other members shared clips of their partners dancing to the group’s hits, including ‘Macarena,’ drawing praise from fans for their visible support.
Some netizens interpreted the posts as a subtle response to Aragon’s comments, with one Facebook user writing, “Ganito dapat ang support system ng mga hubby… Mas healthy ang relationship pag support kayo sa isa’t isa.. Hindi yung controlling, di ba nga Alvin?”
Izzy Trazona did make a surprise appearance during ‘Get, Get, Aw: The SexBomb Concert rAWnd 4’ on February 7, joining the group on stage to sing the theme song of their former series ‘Daisy Siete’, though she did not participate in the dance numbers.
As reactions continue to pour in from both supporters and critics, Aragon maintained that he and his wife remain firm in their religious convictions and devotion, regardless of public opinion.
