Filipino girl groups kicked off 2026 with strong online momentum, as fans flooded Facebook with likes, shares, and comments sparked by concerts, announcements, and viral moments. A social media scan by Capstone-Intel Corporation covering January 1 to 9, 2026 showed Sexbomb, BINI, and G22 leading engagement among local girl groups.

At the top of the list was Sexbomb, which generated 128,438 engagements during the period. Online buzz surged after member Rochelle Pangilinan posted a teaser about the group’s reunion concert series, “Get, Get, Aw!”, a nostalgic call-out to longtime fans described as “para sa mga pinalaki ng Sexbomb.” The post quickly gained traction, fueling widespread sharing and emotional reactions from fans who grew up with the iconic group.

Interest remained high as Sexbomb’s reunion concerts rolled out, starting with shows at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on December 4, 2025 and the SM Mall of Asia Arena on December 9. Due to strong demand, additional concerts were scheduled, including February 6’s “rAWnd 3: The Finale” and a February 7 follow-up show. Fans actively circulated concert clips, photos, and reels, while entertainment pages amplified the conversation.

Close behind was BINI, which recorded 117,852 engagements. The group’s strong showing was driven by milestone announcements, official updates, and lively fan discussions. One of the most talked-about posts was a statement from member Jhoanna addressing dating rumors, which sparked widespread debate online. Engagement was further sustained by New Year messages, music-related content, and high-profile brand partnerships, including collaborations with Jollibee.

G22 placed third with 13,650 engagements, largely boosted by short-form videos from their New Year’s Eve performances. Clips highlighting the group’s energetic choreography and commanding stage presence circulated widely, helping them stand out during the holiday season.

Meanwhile, lifestyle-oriented groups Katseye and KAIA posted more modest but notable numbers, with 5,301 and 1,200 engagements, respectively. KAIA continued to grow its fanbase through music updates and personality-driven content, while Katseye drew interest from Filipino audiences because of its global profile and the presence of Filipina leader Sophia Laforteza, which sparked expressions of national pride online.

“Engagement is driven not just by music, but by personalities, nostalgia, and event moments that fans want to share,” said Capstone-Intel. “For many Filipinos, these groups are more than entertainers; they are cultural touchstones that spark community, conversation, and pride online.”
