History

The group, consisting of both boys and girls, were formed by musical director and vocal arranger Danny Tan in 2006 from the former QTV 11 (now GTV) singing contest, Popstar Kids . The members were finalists Julie Anne San Jose, Vanessa Rangadhol, Renzo "Enzo" Almario, and Pocholo "Cholo" Bismonte, with Rita Iringan, (now Rita Daniela), the Popstar Kids winner. The group were given the name SugarPop by Jaya. They performed on SOP Rules. [1]

Disbandment

The group was disbanded in 2009 due to the reformatting of SOP Rules, which was replaced by Party Pilipinas. The members (excluding Rangadhol) reunited on February 14, 2016, for a reunion number in Sunday PinaSaya . [1]

Post-Sugarpop

San Jose remained with the defunct SOP Rules and continued to be one of the divas of Party Pilipinas. She was also paired up with Elmo Magalona, and they were dubbed JuliElmo, as one of the prominent love teams of GMA 7. She has not only starred in the variety show but had also appeared in a teen drama together with Magalona, entitled Together Forever , with which they also crossed over onto the silver screen in Just One Summer . Now she already had 3 existing albums under GMA Records and 1 EP under VIM Entertainment. Her first album received a Diamond Record, and her second album received Triple Platinum awarded by Philippine Association of the Record Industry (PARI). She also hosted The Clash alongside Rita. [1]

Iringan (who adopted the screen name Rita Daniela) rejoined her fellow SugarPop mate in Party Pilipinas and has ventured into acting and made several supporting roles both in television and the film before rising to fame with her effective portrayal of Aubrey Palomares in My Special Tatay . [1] [2] Iringan released a self-titled album Rita Daniela in 2015 under GMA Music. [3] She also auditioned for the staging of Miss Saigon in the Philippines when she was 17. However, she was not cast as she was too young for the role. [4] In 2018, she auditioned and was cast in a lead role in Eto Na! Musikal nAPO!. [5] She was also a journey host for The Clash and served as a host for All-Out Sundays. [1] [6]

In late 2011 to early 2013, Vanessa Rangadhol joined MYMP as its lead vocalist after Juliet Bahala left the group. [1] She went viral with the song 'Dota o Ako' alongside Aikee. Ten years later, a sequel to the song, 'Dota at Ako' was released in an ad for Netflix's Dota: Dragon's Blood . [7] She is also a content creator with a YouTube channel, Hanky Panky, that features food. [1]

Almario later competed in the rival network's singing competition shows Tawag ng Tanghalan (where he came out as queer) in 2018 and Idol Philippines the following year. [8] [1] [9] He became a member of a ABS-CBN singing trio iDolls. [10] On September 12, 2024, Almario revealed that Tan sexually abused him during his stint in the group, joining actor Gerald Santos in testifying against the producer. [11] [12]

Pocholo also competed in The Clash as one of the Top 30 contestants where his co-members Rita and Julie hosted the third season in 2020. [1]
