The iconic members of the Viva Hot Babes—Maui Taylor, Katya Santos, and Andrea del Rosario—are fiercely clearing the air regarding the controversial removal of the younger VMX Babes from their highly anticipated reunion concert.

The internet buzzed with intense speculation after rumors surfaced that the veteran trio allegedly demanded the cancellation of the new generation's guest appearance.

Refusing to let the malicious narratives completely overshadow their massive October comeback, the original queens of the stage directly confronted the allegations and set the record straight during a recent media interview.

Addressing the issue head-on, the prominent trio completely denied having any direct hand in booting the younger performers from the concert lineup.

They emphasized that professional boundaries were strictly followed behind the scenes, shifting the responsibility away from the artists themselves.

They clarified the true source of the sudden lineup shift with a firm and direct statement: "Hindi kami. Management decision."

According to a report by GMA Network, the backstage tension originally ignited when Zsara Laxamana, a member of the VMX Babes, publicly expressed her profound sadness over their group's sudden removal from the highly anticipated event.

In response, Maui offered some blunt but necessary career advice to the rising stars, emphasizing the sheer importance of paving an independent path in the highly competitive showbiz industry.

Sending a strong reminder about industry etiquette, Maui boldly stated: "Kasi kapamilya mo kami e. Respect. Aside from respect, kung gusto mong sumikat, sumikat ka in your own way na wala kang tinatapakang iba. Do it on your own. You don't need us."

Amidst the intense inter-generational drama, the veteran performers also took the time to warmly address the noticeable absence of their other original batchmates from the upcoming theater show.

Katya completely shut down rumors of internal rifts among the pioneers, explaining that they actively reached out to all first and second-batch alumni.

"Yung mga wala, hindi 'yon dahil hindi sila sinama. Lahat po ng batch one and two kinontact namin. It's just that they have their talagang personal reasons kasi nga mga nasa ibang bansa na lahat," Katya warmly explained, adding that the missing members are now mostly focused on their respective families and work commitments.

As of this writing, the highly anticipated "Bulaklak: Viva Hot Babes Reunion Concert" is officially scheduled to take place on October 23, 2026, at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City.

The formal concert production remains fully backed by their talent agency, and no further adjustments to the final performance roster have been publicly announced by the event organizers.

Formed in 2003 by Vic del Rosario Jr., the Viva Hot Babes is a Filipino group of actresses led by Maui Taylor, Katya Santos, and Andrea del Rosario. They gained massive fame through daring Viva Films movies and provocative magazine features. Their debut track "Bulaklak" became a phenomenal hit, though it sparked intense public debate due to its controversial and suggestive lyrics.

Last July, Viva Hot Babes member Maui Taylor recently opened up about her experiences filming delicate movie scenes during the height of the group's popularity. During a candid guest appearance on "Your Honor," the former girl group member shared that her male co-stars strictly honored their agreed-upon boundaries while on set. She specifically commended veteran actor Jay Manalo for his utmost professionalism, recalling how they would meticulously plan their physical blocking before every take. Praising his gentlemanly behavior, the actress noted that Jay would instantly use a cover to shield her from the production crew the moment the director yelled cut.

Performing at the peak of the Viva Hot Babes' massive nationwide fame often came with terrifying security risks for its members, including standout star Maui. The prominent actress recounted a deeply traumatic incident following a packed public gig in Rizal where an unknown individual inappropriately grabbed her as she exited the venue. Shocked and completely immobilzed by the sudden physical assault, she revealed that her fiercely protective mother quickly retaliated by hurling a water bottle at the perpetrator. She also vividly remembered a separate, highly chaotic election campaign rally where an unruly mob rushed the stage, leading to the alleged assault of her fellow group members.
