Katrina Halili revealed that she almost became a member of the popular group Viva Hot Babes when she was only 17 years old.

The Kapuso actress shared the surprising story during the September 30 episode of Chika Cart, where she appeared alongside hosts Baninay Bautista, Donita Nose, and Jeff Fernando.

The conversation centered on Viva Hot Babes and their upcoming reunion concert, Bulaklak: The Viva Hot Babes Reunion Concert. The group’s reunion recently became a topic of discussion after comparisons were made with the SexBomb Girls, who held their own successful reunion concert, Get Get Aw!.

Some members of Viva Hot Babes, including Maui Taylor and Andrea del Rosario, previously clarified during their press conference that they were not jealous of the SexBomb Girls. Instead, they said they were inspired by the group.

“We were inspired by the SexBomb [Girls],” Maui said.

Andrea also explained that the idea for their reunion concert had already been planned for quite some time.

“This was an idea way, way back—first quarter of this year, kung hindi ako nagkakamali,” Andrea said.

As the discussion continued, the hosts brought up a story involving Halili and asked about reports that she had nearly become part of Viva Hot Babes.

Halili then recalled what happened when she was brought to Viva years ago.

“Kasi po dati, dinala po ako sa Viva tapos pinauwi po ako ni Boss Vic kasi raw po 17 pa lang ako. Tapos hindi ko na-gets, 'yun pala, sexy pala kasi kaya ako pinauwi,” the actress shared.

At the time, Halili said she did not fully understand why she had been sent home. She later realized that her age was connected to the nature of the group and the type of work involved.

Although she did not become part of Viva Hot Babes, Halili looked at the experience as something that eventually led her toward another opportunity.

She said the situation turned out to be a good redirection because she eventually became part of StarStruck, the reality talent competition that helped launch her showbiz career.

“Okay lang naman kasi sa StarStruck naman ako napunta,” Halili said.

The hosts also praised Halili for maintaining her beauty and séx appeal throughout her career. Her previous recognition as FHM Magazine’s Top 1 Séxiest Woman for consecutive years was brought up during the conversation.

Halili proudly recalled that she remained high on the magazine’s list for four years, including two years at the top spot.

“Two lang po kasi 'yung pangatlo, kulang. Dalawang [taong] number one, isang [taong] number two, and isang [taong] number three,” she said.

Her revelation offered a glimpse into an earlier chapter of her career and highlighted how a missed opportunity eventually led her toward a different path in Philippine showbiz.

Meanwhile, Viva Hot Babes continues to prepare for its reunion concert, with members emphasizing that their return had been planned long before the recent SexBomb Girls reunion.
