FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the Philippines! (21 to 40)


21. Maja Salvador
The Dance Princess of the Philippines and descendant of the Salvador showbiz clan is stepping up big-time. Whether she’s strutting her stuff, acting, flaunting her hair on TV commercials or lording over us in EDSA with her gigantic billboards, Maja sure looks very much at ease with her showstopping self. A joy to watch—fancy choreography or not.



22. Precious Adona
By now fans should have witnessed her in the throes of passion in her launching movie, Torotot. Gentlemen and ladies, our freshest, treasured find, Precious Adona. The lady who wore the thinnest, littlest piece of cloth on an FHM cover ever (or yet). Who’d have known this former Be Bench contestant would make it big in such a small matter of time? We did.



23. Nancy Castiglione
Yes, she is Nancy Castiglione and you don’t have to watch that “Love Song” music video of hers in its entirety to be convinced. We all know versatile Nancy has always been a transformer. From modeling to acting to becoming a music VJ, she now proudly wears the hat as the country’s first techno-pop recording artist. We’ll be tuning in!



24. Rhian Ramos
The reason it’s taking us so long to get Rhian on the cover, in case you’re already pissed: We have to get past some serious scrutiny. Rhian is the niece of GMA-7 Artist Center boss Ida Henares, the one who greenlights all our covers coming from their stable. Still, we will get her, there’s a cover we keep with no one on it and it will be her.



25. Asia Agcaoili
Other than being an exceptional sex guru in these parts, our strong-minded vixen has tried it all, from hosting on TV, radio, and events, appearing in a gamut of sexy ads, down to subjecting herself to a G-shot session to heighten her sensuous side, and exploring Amsterdam. It’s that wild and adventurous nature in her that makes her unforgettable.




26. Pauleen Luna
Sure, Eat Bulaga! wouldn’t be worth anything without Tito, Vic, and Joey. But the noontime show wouldn’t also be half as fun without hot, quirky female hosts, like Pauleen Luna. Now possessing a thinner figure and a developed comedic timing akin to her co-hosts, there seems to be no stopping her artistic rise. All she needs now is that FHM cover!




27. Heart Evanghelista
Her name suits her new home well, and with this comes probably what the country truly needs most at this time of economic distress—a new bachelorette. Heart’s free as hell to go to the UK to kick Katie Leung’s ass out of the way and install herself as the worthy Cho Chang in the next Harry Potter film. It could happen, you know, with or without sorcery’s help.



28. Shaina Magdayao
All hail Philippine cinema’s favorite movie daughter (and Vina Morales’ sister)! The former award-winning child actress debuted on the list a year ago. The smart bet is she’ll be here for a long time. That’s how money she is. Shaina knows how to grow money, too, investing her earnings in Ystilo Salon and putting up a 20-door apartment complex.



29. Valerie Concepcion
Another Wowowee mainstay, Valerie has sensual lips and she’s unafraid to use them. She also already has a baby, but you could hardly tell from looking at her body that she’s one infant-popping mommy. When she’s not being dragged into a potential Mr. and Mrs. Pacquiao fistfight controversy, this hot young momma is in FHM’s 100 Sexiest, predictably for years to come.



30.Nina Jose
Thank God Nina’s career finally took a different path. After her fruitful, eye-catching stint as a Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition resident looker, she took her sweet time before embarking on a steady career, first with an FHM cover, and now with a spot alongside Kim Chiu on My Girl. And what a great future she’s looking at, all that thanks to a spot in reality TV



31. Hazel Ann Mendoza
What’s not typical is her unexpected turn from pretty to scorching hot. That was when she made our pages sizzle with her and Niña Jose sharing the March cover. “As a teen star, I did only pa-tweetums roles…you can’t forever just stick to a sweet image,” she said. “You have to be more adventurous.” Thank you, Hazel Ann, for that sudden change of mind.



32. Kitty Girls
Jocelyn Oxlade, Ayanna Oliva, Nicole Deen, Veronica Scott and Tanya Yuquimpo don’t just belt out tunes while bumping, grinding and strutting their stuff on stage, they can also deliver fierce-looking photographs this side of the animal kingdom. Hold that tiger, boys, our December issue we mean. And go easy on the hairball.



33. Yasmien Kurdi
Our 19-year-old vegan stunner has proven herself as a talented singer and actress, scoring several roles in TV and film on top of her album Love is All I Need, launched last year. Now, you’ll see her making beautiful magic in the fantaserye Tasya Fantasya and having gone for a more serious bit in drama with Babangon Ako’t Dudurugin Kit



34. Mariel Rodriguez
She sputtering ungainly invectives on one housemate prompted some to call her a foul-mouth. Her sometimes gratingly noisy moments at Wowowee didn’t help to lessen the impact of the label. But us, we allow our women some breathing space. Maybe she’s not perfect, but that doesn’t blur the obvious: She’s one of the sweetest faces in show business who’ll be around for a long time.



35. Toni Gonzaga
Despite failing to photograph Toni in a full unveiling, FHM-style (first time was almost fully clothed; second time did not pull through because there was still too much clothes) we are still mighty proud of her career decisions. When before we only had to interview her in the backstage of Eat Bulaga, now we’re quite sure we’d have to take a number and a handler would have to get back to us.



36. Gwen Garci
Try Googling Gwen Garci and the first couple of search results will spell out: “Sexy videos,” “Videos of Gwen Garci,” and, inevitably, “The hottest babes in the Philippines.” Of course, while this Filipino-Chinese beauty isn’t just about sexy videos, or an ordinate number on a hottest list, it doesn’t come as a surprise why her videos are such a hit with the rest of us.



37. Bianca Gonzales
Multi-faceted TV presenter Bianca Gonzalez was fashion magazines’ modeling sweetheart. But with a degree in Communication Arts from the Ateneo and an already-established reputation for hosting, we know she won’t be leaving the small screen for print glossies anytime soon. Although for now, being in FHM’s pages isn’t such a letdown either.



38. Roxanne Guinoo
Surely, this Star Circle questor has gone a long way and her filmography is proof—not to mention that billboard ad. This year alone she’s been busy appearing on several shows including Palos and starring in Ligaw na Bulaklak. Besides being scorching-hot, she’s now become a serious drama actress who can ball out tears so fluidly, you’d think she’s part-water faucet.



39. Joyce Jimenez
After taking a dip at anonymity for years, giving obscurity a try in Australia as a student, the original Pantasya ng Bayan returned in perfect form to FHM last year—thinner, fitter as she rightfully claimed in her July 2007 interview. And it’s not just dudes that go after her now—ladies should be going ga-ga over her own jewelry, bath-and-bodyline, and toiletry line. This woman knows her business well!



40. Iza Calzado
We know Binoe’s standards when it comes to leading ladies (though we didn’t quite dig that one with Ai-Ai de Las Alas, sorry). The towering Iza Calzado belonging in this roster should tell a lot about her career status, and that’s just one thing, on top of her many endorsements, that fills her ornate CV. Oh wait, it isn’t that ornate until she adds “FHM babe” in it…
