Were you in Pasay or Parañaque during the first week of February? Then you likely witnessed some of the biggest celebrations of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) this year. SM Arena-managed venues hosted a series of unforgettable events, from a highly anticipated Sexbomb Girls reunion to the debut of an outdoor music festival that brought thousands together in one electrifying weekend.
More Rounds for the Sexbomb Girls
Following overwhelming demand, the Sexbomb Girls returned to SM Mall of Asia (MOA) Arena from February 6 to 8 for three additional shows. The group transformed the venue into a 360-degree stage, ensuring every fan enjoyed a fully immersive concert experience.
Fans of all ages packed the arena, creating a cross-generational celebration of OPM. The shows featured special collaborations with music icons such as the Apo Hiking Society, Gary Valenciano, ALAMAT, and BINI, bridging eras and highlighting the group’s enduring cultural impact on Philippine pop music.
Wonderful Moments Music Festival
Meanwhile, at the SMDC Festival Grounds, the inaugural Wonderful Moments Music Festival ran from February 7 to 8, bringing together thousands for a two-day outdoor celebration. The festival combined large-scale stage production, interactive booths, and on-ground installations to elevate the experience beyond live performances.
Artists like Cup of Joe, Sarah Geronimo, Arthur Nery, Dionela, Bamboo, and BINI energized the crowd over both nights, while a spectacular midnight fireworks display closed the festival, marking a memorable debut for what promises to become an annual OPM highlight.

Pulling off events of this scale required seamless coordination among venue management, local government units, and multiple operational teams across the Mall of Asia Complex. From traffic management and crowd control to on-site logistics, the integrated approach ensured smooth operations throughout the weekend.
SM Arena-managed staff and security teams maintained top-notch customer service, reinforcing SM’s commitment to delivering world-class entertainment experiences. At SM, it’s not just about stages and shows—it’s about creating unforgettable moments for everyone.
