<p>After working on her first film project this year, actress and dancer Rochelle Pangilinan shared how fulfilled she feels to be part of the cast of director Tim Rone Villanueva’s entry to the Cinemalaya Independent Film Festival this year. </p><p>“I’m so happy with <em>Child No. 82</em>. Ayun, at least nagawa ko pa rin siya. Kasi ang ganda rin talaga ng storya and ang galing ng director. Ang galing ng lahat ng tao sa pelikula. Sabi ko nga sa isang interview na natuto ako dito sa <em>Child No. 82</em>. Yung nakita ko kay director Tim  na kapag nagkakaroon ng problema, hindi siya ‘Anong problema?’ Hindi siya ganun. Siya ‘yung, ‘Ano ang solusyon?‘ So, nilagay ko siya sa pamumuhay ko sa pang araw-araw na buhay. Kasi kaysa mag-focus tayo sa problema, oo nga, bakit di tayo mag-focus sa solusyon?” she shared with PUSH ABS-CBN in an exclusive interview. </p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPdwirrkv9o/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A579556%2C%22ls%22%3A48120%2C%22le%22%3A48399%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Just last August, Rochelle took home her first acting award this year after winning Best Single Performance by an Actress at the 37th PMPC Star Awards. Even with her many achievements as the original leader of the Sexbomb Girls for more than a decade, Rochelle shared why it was important for her to become known for her individual acting talent as well. </p><p>“Siyempre siguro nakaka-happy ‘yun ‘pag na-recognize ka bilang magaling na actress. And, kahit papaano nung nakaraan, natuwa ako na nakatanggap ako ng awards. Happy po ako and siyempre ayokong ma-stuck na lang sa ganun. Gusto ko pang magpursigi pa, mas husayan pa. Ayokong mag-stay sa kung anong meron ako ngayon. Gusto ko pang matuto. Gusto ko pang i-explore lahat and alam ko kulang pa ako sa pag-arte. Gusto kong malaman pa lahat ang tungkol sa pag-arte,” she explained. </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DNw6B915CIi/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A564522%2C%22ls%22%3A48120%2C%22le%22%3A48399%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2023/11/29/look-sexbomb-dancers-stage-a-fun-reunion-050"><strong><u>LOOK: SexBomb dancers stage a fun reunion</u></strong></a></div><p>Despite leaving her popular all-female dance group in 2011, Rochelle said she does not miss dancing that much because of their much anticipated major reunion dance concert happening in less than two months. “Ah hindi naman po masyado na-miss kasi nakakasayaw naman ako at may concert kami ng Sexbomb sa December 4, 2022. Sinegue ko na! Matagal na naman (plinano ito). Nag-start kami ng June. Actually ilang years na pinaplano ang reunion. Talagang ngayon lang natuloy and it’s in God’s perfect timing,” she added. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/2022/12/2/rochelle-pangilinan-bumisita-sa-abs-cbn"><strong><u>READ: ‘Nakakakilig’: Rochelle Pangilinan, masaya sa muling pagbisita sa ABS-CBN</u></strong></a></div><p>When asked what longtime SexBomb fans can expect to see when they watch the concert at the Araneta Coliseum, Rochelle shared how excited she and her group already are to perform for their beloved fans once again. “Ibabalik namin kayo… mag-ba-backtrack tayo nung panahon na kayo ay bata-bata pa. And siyempre ano pa bang ini-expect niyo sa Sexbomb? Lahat naman ‘yan palaban at alam niyo naman at kilalang-kilala niyo ang Sexbomb na what you see is what you get. And I think makikita niyo lahat ito sa December 4!” she admitted.</p><p>Watch Rochelle Pangilinan in <em>Child No. 82 </em>at the 21st edition of the Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival.
