This writer wholeheartedly agrees with the legions of Philippine
voters of Summit Media's FHM magazine who this year voted GMA-7
Dyesebel actress Marian Rivera the sexiest woman.
Congratulations to this once-unknown Cavite student and commercial
model who took the whole Philippines by storm with her smash-hit TV
soap opera Marimar and now Dyesebel. She has classic good looks, a
great physique, and, most of all, she has a radiant smile.
Globally, international readers of various editions of FHM magazine
this year deservedly voted Transformers actress Megan Fox the sexiest
woman on earth and officially described her as the "junior Angelina
Jolie." She has come from nowhere — not on the Top 100 list last year
and her fame anchored on just one movie — to rise all the way to the
top.
Here's the list of the world's top 20 sexiest women in the world,
based on Philippine readers of FHM magazine:
1. Marian Rivera. Sexiest, and now the nationwide favorite, she is
not only the leader in primetime TV soaps, she has been gaining
numerous commercial endorsement contracts ranging from PLDT, Jag
jeans to San Mig Light beer.
2. Megan Fox. Tennessee-born Transformers star.
3. Katrina Halili. Former No. 1 for two years on this list, including
last year, and a TV actress in soap operas, playing mainly villainess
roles quite convincingly.
4. Angel Locsin. Survivor of a controversial switch of TV stations
from GMA-7 to ABS-CBN 2, the former undisputed princess of primetime
TV soap is still a major actress and celebrity endorser. Although Jag
jeans has replaced her as celebrity endorser with Marian Rivera,
rival brand Folded & Hung immediately signed her as its celebrity
endorser. She is one of the smartest young actresses this writer has
interviewed for this column. Angel needs to choose good roles for her
TV and movie careers.
5. Diana Zubiri. Former bold starlet of Seiko Films, she is now a
regular on GMA-7 TV shows due to a slump in cheap bold flicks due to
a ban on such movies by SM malls, which control the biggest cinema
chain in the Philippines. Apart from her sexy physique, she has one
of the prettiest faces on TV. Aubrey Zubiri — the beautiful former TV
host wife of Senator Migz Zubiri who recently gave birth to their
first child — said Diana is not related to the Zubiri family since
she uses the surname only as her screen name.
6. Ehra Madrigal. Although not related to Senator Jamby Madrigal, who
is now more well-known for trying to contest her late billionaire
aunt Chito Madrigal Collantes' will, she is part of the TV action
drama Asero on GMA 7. She is also the new celebrity endorser for
Tanduay Rhum.
7. Iwa Moto. One of the sexy members of the cast of TV comedy Nuts
Entertainment, she is fond of wearing bikini tops to display her
physique.
8. Christine Reyes. Is this 19-year-old trying to follow in the
footsteps of once top bold actress Ara Mina? She is now being built
up by ABS-CBN 2 but remains romantically linked to GMA-7 actor Dennis
Trillo, and both of them not so long ago were embroiled in a
controversy because Trillo's then former girlfriend, ex-beauty queen
Carlene Aguilar, was still pregnant in the US with his child. Can she
be as popular as a sexy star as her elder sister once was?
9. Anne Curtis. FHM Philippines magazine unabashedly announces that
it has been waiting for this young rising ABS-CBN 2 actress to grace
its cover. Her current TV soap is Dyosa. She is co-starring with
Jericho Rosales in a historical romance film called Baler, which will
compete in the December 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival. She just co-
starred with Aga Muhlach in a well-received romance movie this year.
10. Angelica Panganiban. This important actress of ABS-CBN 2 has
survived a controversy claiming that her liquor advertising calendar
campaign used digital "tweaking" to make her look slimmer and sexier,
and she remains a popular presence on primetime TV.
11. Alessandra De Rossi. This young actress and singer is part-
Italian, but personifies morena beauty.
12. KC Concepcion. This 25-year-old princess of Megastar Sharon
Cuneta has become the surprise major new star of ABS-CBN 2, following
in the footsteps on her mother in gaining numerous commercial
endorsements.
13. Bianca King. Part of the hit TV soap Dyesebel, this part-
Australian actress is one of the young rising stars of local showbiz
with a pretty face and truly sexy physique.
14. Jennylyn Mercado. Despite her once-soaring singing and TV soap
career on GMA-7 having been suspended due to an unexpected pregnancy
due to young actor Patrick Garcia — who has since left her — this
girl surprisingly still remains popular with her fans and still
garnered many votes from FHM readers.
15. EB Babes. The 10 girls dancing and adorning the No. 1 TV
lunchtime show Eat Bulaga surprisingly received a lot of votes from
FHM readers, the only group ranked among the top 20 in this roster.
16. Bea Alonzo. Starring in the TV soap Betty La Fea, this teen
actress could become a future star with the right roles and breaks.
17. Francine Prieto. Formerly known as Anna Marie Falcon on the
defunct GMA-7 show That's Entertainment, she is one of the original
cover girls of FHM Philippines.
18. Iya Villania. This former commercial model and current TV actress
is unabashedly on the wish list of FHM magazine as a future cover
girl.
19. Riza Santos. A new entry to the Top 100 Sexiest list, the new
leading lady of comedian Vic Sotto for a new film, she was also a
former leading lady of the "King of Comedy" Dolphy. Why are comedians
so popular with sexy women?
20. Michelle Madrigal. Sister of Ehra Madrigal, she was part of Bong
Revilla's movie Resiklo and is now active on GMA-7 shows.
