"We’d like to gently set the record straight. Viva Hotbabes holds a place in Philippine pop culture that we’re deeply grateful for.
"Not because of hype or comparison, but because we were part of a time that celebrated confidence, individuality, and fearless self-expression. We weren’t just a group — we were a moment, a feeling, and a reflection of an era that many still remember fondly.
"Yes, we are actresses and models. We never claimed to be professional dancers, and we were never meant to be.
"Our strength was always in our presence, our personalities, and our work across film, music, and media."
