This Blog Site is dedicated to the dynamic, sexy and beautiful Go G!rls- a popular girl group in the Philippines. This site is maintained by Teodoro Robert "Teody" Abilay.
Their name is synonymous with one of the Biggest Hits of 2003... Bayani Agbayani's "Otso-Otso" & Otso Pasko. They also have single "Shake, Shake" on the album "Mag Otso Otso Tayo Bayan", which IMHO is a great song.
Formed in October 2002 by Bobby Catimbang of the popular all-male dance group Maneouvres and managed by veteran dancer and choreographer Mia Divinagracia, the GoGirls have achieved quite a lot in such a short time.
Mia (with husband Bobby and brother Deo) manages both the GoGirls as well as their sister group, the Flawless Girls, who are fixtures in a number of TV shows. The GoGirls are the original Otso-Otso babes of ABS-CBN’s MTB (Magandang Tanghali Bayan). They have been awarded a Double Platimum by Star Records for their three songs in the Mag-Otso-Otso Tayo Bayan album. They were also nominated as ALIW Best Dance Group of the Year. Their fan base is nationwide, having toured major malls around the country with Willie Revillame as well as the wacky duo of Maverick and Ariel. They now appear on IBC 13’s Chowtime Na and their own dance album is to be released very soon.
Their career started when they were launched in a mall tour that featured singing idol-TV host-model-actor Cody Moreno of then Icon Records in late 2002. Stints on ABS-CBN’s daily noontime show MTB (Magandang Tanghali Bayan, which later became Masayang Tanghali Bayan) immediately followed, and ironically, they were also regular fixtures on GMA 7’s Beh Bote Nga. Their exposure on TV strengthened when they were tapped to help promote Sony Records’ Asereje.
With the assistance of Solid Gold alumnus and senior VIP dancer Dindo Divinagracia, the GoGirls made guests and attendees of many corporate events, product launches, private functions and all sorts of shows and parties including some of Metro Manila’s hottest venues grin with happiness with their vibrant dance numbers.
The big break for the girls came with Bayani Agbayani’s monster hit Otso-Otso as the back-up dancers in the official music video. Star Records recognized their capability to sing and they were given their own single, Shake, Shake (specially written for them by Lito Camo who composed Otso-Otso, the SexBombs’ Spageti and the Viva Hot Babes’ Bulaklak). They are presently recording their solo album produced by Camo scheduled for release very soon. Along with the Gee Girls, and the MTB Dancers, they provided color and spice to Masayang Tanghali Bayani.
They are also part of the "Otso-Otso", "Pito-Pito" and "Star in a Million" tours by Bayani Agbayani and Willie Revillame.
They have also conquered advertising having been chosen as endorsers of Jocks Sports and Street Gear. Together with teen idol Heart Evangelista, they did the WRR 101.9 FM TV commercial. They also roam the country doing show endorsing "Jock Sportwear" or guesting for local events. The Go girls have appeared on several shows like "It Might Be You" and Basta't Kasama Kita", "OK, Fine Whatever". They have guested on GMA 7's Master Showman on several occasions.
The Girls are currently the resident dancers of "It's Chow time Na" which airs on IBC 13 , 11-12 am Mondays to Saturdays.
You can also catch them as the "Go Barako Girls" on the 2004 PBA Grand Matador Fiesta Conference. The Go Girls (Khatie,Mica,CheChe,Janice & KatKat) have also appeared on MZone! Magazine. A few of the Girls (Princess, Che-Che, Khatie and Juwin) are seen in the music Videos of Parokya ni Edgar (Mr Suave,Yes Yes Show) and Gloc9 ("Kailan"). Juwin appears as one of the girls in the Creamsilk Challenge commercial.
