Former ‘StarStruck’ alumnus Alvin Aragon fired back at comments made by Joshua Zamora and Alex Castro, husbands of SexBomb Girls members Jopay Paguia and Sunshine Garcia, following their recent interview on ‘Fast Talk with Boy Abunda’.
The discussion stemmed from Aragon’s earlier statement that in a family, the man should serve as the “king” of the household, while the wife and children should submit to his leadership.
During their appearance on the talk show, Zamora and Castro were asked if they agreed with Aragon’s views.
Zamora said decisions in his marriage are based on each partner’s strengths.
“For me, kung ano ‘yung strength ng partner ko, kung ano ‘yung strength niya, ‘yun ang sinusunod namin. Alam din naman niya in the same way kung ano ‘yung strength ko, ‘yun din ang masusunod,” the actor-dancer explained.
Castro, who currently serves as Bulacan vice governor, echoed a similar sentiment, saying decisions in their marriage are made jointly.
“Kaming dalawang mag-asawa, hindi puwedeng ako lang naman ang laging masusunod. Parehas kung ano ‘yung napag-usapan naming dalawa, ‘yun ang masusunod,” he said.
In a Facebook post on March 12, Aragon clarified that he was not the one who initially compared himself to the husbands of the SexBomb Girls members.
“Hindi ako ang nag-compare ha, ang netizen ang nag-compare. Magbasa kasi kayo ng comments. Nag-defend lang ako kaya binanggit ko kayo,” Aragon wrote.
He also questioned why he was being criticized for not allowing his wife, former SexBomb member Izzy Trazona, to join the group’s reunion concert, while others were being praised for supporting their wives’ performances.
“Lumalabas kayo ang matino because you’ve supported your wives wearing sexy clothes while dancing, tapos ako masama?” he said.
Aragon maintained that his stance was based on his personal beliefs as a Christian, explaining that he was uncomfortable with the revealing costumes and dance performances associated with the group’s shows.
He added that public figures should expect criticism.
“Don’t be angry if I mentioned all of you because all of you are public figure. You are all subject to criticism,” he wrote.
In their earlier interview, Zamora and Castro also addressed Aragon’s claim that the performers’ outfits and choreography might encourage men to view them with desire.
Castro argued that the issue lies with the mindset of some viewers rather than the performers themselves.
“Ang may mali, kung may pagnanasa yung manonood. Concert ‘yon, ganoon ang costume. Kung dinala mo sa simbahan yung ganoong costume, mali po ‘yon,” he explained.
Aragon, however, stood by his opinion and questioned why many men frequent nightlife venues if not to see women wearing revealing outfits.
As of writing, the exchange continues to spark discussion online, with netizens debating issues surrounding marriage dynamics, personal beliefs, and the role of performers in entertainment.
