Rochelle Pangilinan reacts to ‘SexBomb Girls predicted COVID-19’ conspiracy theory

Do you remember that viral conspiracy post claiming that SexBomb Girls’ “Spaghetti Song” predicted COVID-19?

Well, the group’s founding member Rochelle Pangilinan has broken her silence on the issue.

To refresh your memory, a social media user had pointed out that some of the lyrics of “Spaghetti Song” coincided with what’s happening during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Apir tayo,” for example, supposedly referred to person-to-person contact, while the lines, “Masakit ang ulo ko” and “Masakit ang tuhod ko” may have been about symptoms like headaches and loss of energy.

The conspiracy theory was brought up to Rochelle during an online media conference on Thursday, and she burst into laughter.

“Hindi ko alam!” Rochelle said between giggles.

“Siguro na-happy ako kasi napakatalino talaga ng Pilipino, na-iconnect pa nila ang SexBomb talaga!”

Nevertheless, Rochelle was just glad to know their music still managed to make a lot of people happy.

“Spaghetti Song” is one of SexBomb Girls’ all-time biggest hits.

The group is also popular for their hit 2002 Christmas album “Wish Ko Sa Pasko.”

Rochelle said she hoped to spread positivity and good vibes this Christmas, as many Filipinos struggled amid the pandemic.

“Happy ako kasi, kahit na ... mabigat ang pinagdadaaanan ang mundo ngayon, ang lahat ng tao, napapasaya parin talaga ng Pilipino ang lahat ng bagay. At happy ako because nai-connect na naman nila kami,” Rochelle said.

“And at least naalala nila kami, hindi nila kami nakakalimutan,” she added.

If you missed her, Rochelle will appear in a special episode of “Wish Ko Lang” on Sept. 12.
