Alvin Aragon Sparks Controversy Over Remarks On SexBomb Reunion, LGBTQ+ Community
Screengrab from Fast Talk with Boy Abunda
Former StarStruck finalist Alvin Aragon is at the center of online controversy after making strong statements about marriage, modesty, and sexuality during an interview on DWAR Abante Radyo’s program Jigo Live!. His comments—ranging from criticism of the recent SexBomb Girls reunion to views on the LGBTQ+ community—triggered intense public backlash and days of heated discussion on social media.
Clarifies Why Izzy Left SexBomb
Aragon addressed long-standing assumptions about why his wife, former SexBomb dancer Izzy Trazona, left the group back in 2009. According to him, her departure happened years before their marriage and was driven by her faith.
He reiterated she left because she felt spiritually led, saying, “pinag-resign ng Lord.”
Aragon also denied blocking her from joining any of the recent reunion shows.
Criticizes Alex Castro Over Sunshine Garcia’s Outfits
One of the most viral moments from the interview came when Aragon called out Alex Castro, husband of former SexBomb member Sunshine Garcia. He questioned why Castro allowed Garcia to perform in what he described as revealing clothing.
Aragon said:
“Buti pa ang asawa ni Sunshine, Vice Governor, pinayagan sila mag-concert. Dapat nga hindi eh, dapat nga ‘yung asawa mo, ingatan mo. Hindi mo hinahayaang magsuot ng mga damit na para pag-nasaan ng mga lalaki.”
The statement spread rapidly online, with many criticizing Aragon for promoting misogynistic views and imposing his personal standards on other couples.
Faces Backlash Over Anti-LGBTQ Remarks
The controversy escalated when clips circulated showing Aragon making remarks about the LGBTQ+ community. In widely shared portions of the broadcast, he expressed disapproval of homosexuality in the context of his religious beliefs.
Among the quotes attributed to him:
“Ayaw ng Diyos ang homosexual.”
“Kasalanan ‘yan.”
LGBTQ+ advocates, public figures, and netizens condemned his statements as discriminatory and harmful. Supporters, however, defended them as protected expressions of faith.
Izzy Asked for His Blessing Before the Reunion Finale
Aragon also shared that Trazona asked for his approval before joining the SexBomb Girls reunion finale at the Mall of Asia Arena. He said they prayed about it, and he eventually gave his blessing.
He emphasized that she joined the event not primarily to dance but, as he described, to share a message of faith with attendees.
Netizens Strongly Divided
Social media platforms have since been flooded with reactions.
Some users praised Aragon’s commitment to his Christian principles, while others called his comments judgmental, outdated, and disrespectful—particularly toward women and the LGBTQ+ community.
Despite the backlash, the controversy has unexpectedly revived conversations about the enduring legacy of the SexBomb Girls and the differing expectations placed on performers, spouses, and public figures.
