Rochelle Pangilinan-Solinap (born May 23, 1982) is a Filipino actress, dancer and singer. She began her career as one of the original members of the SexBomb Girls, who gained prominence through the variety show Eat Bulaga!. She later appeared in television programs, most notably in Daisy Siete, and portrayed Agane in the 2016 fantasy drama series Encantadia. In 2007, she briefly rebranded as a rap artist under the name RoC.[1]
Personal life
During her childhood, Pangilinan lived in Barangay Dampalit, Malabon, a flood-prone area in the Philippines. She did not attend college. Her father died of emphysema in 2007.[2]
Pangilinan married actor Arthur Solinap on August 8, 2017.[3] She gave birth to their daughter, Shiloh Jayne on February 24, 2019, by an emergency C-section.[4][5]
Career
Dancing career
Pangilinan was still a student when she began joining barangay dance contests and television competitions, such as Eat Bulaga!. There, Pangilinan met Joy Cancio, her cousin's trainer, who gave her a calling card and invited her to attend dance training sessions. Cancio personally trained Pangilinan and hired professional instructors to further develop their skills. After two to three years of training and performing in off-network shows, they became the official house dancers of Eat Bulaga! as the SexBomb Girls and she became the leader of the group.[6] In 2003, they released their hit track, "The Spaghetti Song."[7]
On June 3, 2007, Pangilinan introduced herself as RoC and launched her debut album Roc-A-Holic (released on June 8, 2007, by Panacea Music)[8] on the weekly variety show, SOP Rules. The album consists of catchy rap, hip hop-flavored and Latin-inspired songs, with the carrier single "Baile".[citation needed]
Acting career
Pangilinan began her acting career with a main role in the television drama series Daisy Siete on GMA Network, alongside the SexBomb Girls.[9] She later appeared in ABS-CBN's sitcom Home Along Da Airport with Dolphy.[10] In 2005, Pangilinan played Corella, a mermaid ally of Darna, in the drama Darna. In 2009, she returned to the rebooted Darna as the antagonist Deborah, also known as Babaeng Manananggal.[11] Pangilinan later portrayed Marikit, a lead character in the historical drama Amaya.[12] In 2016, she played the villain Agane in the reboot of drama Encantadia,[13] serving as the right hand of Hagorn, the king of Hathoria, portrayed by John Arcilla.[citation needed]
In 2024, Pangilinan was cast as a comfort woman in the war drama Pulang Araw.[14] Her performance received acclaim and earned her the Best Primetime Supporting Actress award at the 10th Platinum Stallion National Media Awards, marking her first acting trophy.[15] In 2025, she won the best supporting actress award at Cinemalaya for her role in Child No. 82: Anak ni Boy Kana.[16]
