IN PHOTOS: GMA girl group XOXO is the next set of Kapuso divas
In 2019, the Kapuso Network launched the feisty girl group XOXO, composed of Melbelline Caluag, Lyra Micolob, Muriel Lomadilla, and Danielle Ozaraga.
These girls, hailing from different areas in the Philippines, have been brought together by singing competition 'The Clash Season 1' where they were all contenders.
This 2020, the girls have finally released their own single, titled "XOXO," an empowering pop dance track that showcases their vocal talents. Member Lyra shared what they have learned as a group, "Natutunan namin mag-give and take. Mas tumaas pa 'Yung pasensya namin sa ibang tao. Dahil siyempre as a group, kailangan din ng mahabang pasensiya at pagunawa."
Women empowerment and body positivity are some of the themes that XOXO promotes. Muriel detailed why they chose to be role models for girls.
"Body positivity po talaga ang stand namin as a group. Kung titignan niyo po kaming apat, magkakaiba kami ng height, sizes, shapes, and voice quality.
"Gusto namin ipakita na kahit hindi kami 'yung standard ng society sa sexy o maganda. Pero kahit ganito po kami alam po namin sa sarili namin na magaganda at sexy din po kami. If you feel sexy in the body that you're in, own it."
Body positivity
With her powerful presence and confidence, Muriel hopes XOXO can inspire girls to be more confident in their body and skin.
