FHM 100 sexiest of 2012


You must have heard by now that Sam Pinto reigned supreme for two years in a row, being sexiest in the land. I can still remember the episode she entered big brother house. No doubt that she's beautiful. i just thought she'd be one of those who would get 5 minute of fame. 

Years 2011 and 2012, she had queens Marian and Angel as her runners up. The rivals once again had a match this year- only for Marian to fell few more ranks behind. Anyways, Marian's followers won last year (2011), though not number 1 but a rank higher, to upset Angel's fans of a distinction of a back to back win. Angel was number 1 in 2010.  This was a poll (as Sam puts it, votes cost something), and with whatever criteria the magazine has, the top ladies are indeed deserving. 



  • 2012 Top 5
  • 1. Sam Pinto
  • 2. Angel Locsin
  • 3. Sollen Heusaff
  • 4. Cristine Reyes
  • 5. Marian Rivera
 There were just few ladies missing in the results. I was personally routing for Ryza Cenon for a place. It does not matter if it is 96-100. I just thought she would place because she had a recent endorsement of a beer brand which might support her. Anyways, Sam was with diet supplement and the leading beer brand.
  
May i just mention few others which are not necessarily favorites, Jewel Mische, Princess Snell, Ma. Venus Raj, Rochelle Pangilinan. Sex Bomb members admitted of their status, so this signals that they have indeed departed or I just don't know their names not to recognize that some of them are still in the list. Same goes to EB Babes.Glaiza had major TV projects which could draw votes.

While Gretchen and Dawn were (somehow) the Angel and Marian of the early 90s, their followers should have continued the race in this aspect.

By the way, these are just few observations from an illegitimate point of view.  I never voted and have yet to  own my first FHM copy. Nonetheless, I am a fan.

Upgrade: Because the yearly poll kept the people's interest through the year and by coming up with deserving top notchers.

dolphy, goodbye.


The nation stopped on Sunday afternoon to witness one last moment with Dolphy.

I grew up in a household who watched john en marsha. I would later see Home Along da Riles and fantasize about Claudine and Gio Alvarez' sibling (they are about of my age). Of late, in few instances I tried to see Pidol's Wonderland.

We're not basically into his movies. I would catch up his films when shown on TV. Some of the most memorable films were the ones he played gay roles. There was one movie wherein he destroyed the manequin and took over as one,

I remember that his one and only film I watch in the cinema was Nang Maghalo ang Balat sa Tinalupan, along with my parents (and dreamed about being JP de Guzman). Despite this, that does not make me less of a fan.

Losing him is definitely a downgrade for the industry and more importantly to the viewing public.
