1. MARIAN RIVERA

Paragon

Last Year: 5

       

She fulfilled her promise of a new world and you have expressed your gratitude by declaring her the Sexiest. Just recalling how we got here is one for the books: when we finally had her for the cover after five years of trying, we were that close to giving up. But only that close, because we didn’t. A confession: we had entertained doubts she would actually be able to deliver an FHM cover standard. With all the contracts and commitments, what would she be able to show? How wrong we were. What she allowed us to see, she gave prodigiously. No question, Marian Rivera is a paragon.

2. SAM PINTO

No questions

Last Year: 1

 

 

Never has one person been given so few script lines to work with (“Bakit?”) and still manage to work her way into our general consciousness, a couple of FHM covers, and the title of Sexiest Woman in all the land twice over. The silken-haired, doe-eyed, refined model/actress probably didn’t exactly ask for as much, and the Neneng B in her surely wouldn’t resist to ask, bakit? The answer: you.

 

3. ANGEL LOCSIN

Beauty that moves

Last Year: 2

 

         

Ate up the stage whole and had everyone’s eyes fixed on her face, and combined Mulawin-like wings and harnessed pyrotechnics when we crowned her Sexiest Woman three years ago in 2010. To be thoroughly biased is to say that Angel Locsin possesses the kind of ideal hubog our wives and girlfriends mean when they say they “don’t need to be stick-thin to be sexy.” Angel doesn’t only bring this hubog-enviable figure in photos; in person and on the 100 Sexiest ramps, we can only describe her effervescence as malakas ang dating.

 

 

4. JENNYLYN MERCADO

Back in contention

Last Year: 9

 

 

         

With a showbiz career spanning 10 years, Jennylyn has long earned her stripes in this industry. Her life’s slippery slope is now miles behind her. A cute little bundle of joy, a thriving top-billing status, a steady and serious relationship, and three highly successful FHM covers under her belt indicate that she’s in for some of the most blissful years of her life. That’s how the sweetest comeback stories work.

 

5. CRISTINE REYES

C-Pop

Last Year: 4

 

 

         

Fell off the FHM radar after her cover appearance in 2009, after which some of what we’ve heard of her weren’t as rosy: breakup with actor-dancer boyfriend; controversial fight with big sister; and years before that, drenched on the roof of her house because of Ondoy. And yet, despite all that, we only know Cristine by these things: palaban attitude,labanos-white skin, and unparalleled steamy dancing. And given the current climate, it’s high time we celebrated her again. We think your votes agree.

 

 

6. SOLENN HEUSSAFF

Omnipresent

Last Year: 3

 

         

Who could have predicted that the Solenn Heussaff invasion would be so swift? She’s in commercials, TV, movies, and was once even nominated in a local music channel in a best new artist race. A bus ride along Edsa nowadays is marked not only by sweaty crowds but also by a whole gallery of Solenn billboards. Northbound, southbound, it doesn’t matter. Heck, the very bus you’re riding could be wrapped in a Solenn advertisement. In a short period of time, she has become a massive paradox: always there, but forever unattainable.

 

 

7. ELLEN ADARNA

Scene Queen

Last Year: 6

      

         

You’ve heard about how Friendster started Ellen’s meteoric rise to fame. You’ve also heard about the fakes and impersonators. Now, you follow her on Instagram, which, surprisingly, isn’t poser filled. We wonder: why did anyone stump for an imitation when the original was so willing to indulge us? Keep the selfies coming, Ellen. No one can possibly accuse you of over-sharing.

 

 

8. ANNE CURTIS

Queen Regent

Last Year: 12

 

         

How she grew from a tween playing princess-y roles and wearing oversized pink shirts into a sought-after noontime show host, multi-brand endorser, and Cristine Jacob-type singer…we can only speculate. And it all comes down to Anne’s steely child-actor hard work and self-embracing charm. If not evident in album titles like Annebisyosa, then probably in legions of madlang people bowing down to give her their vote. Hey, she even had your vote.

 

 

9. JACKIE RICE

Continuous blossom

Last Year: 7

 

         

We could fill an entire page dissertating what we like about Jackie Rice and why she deserves her place here. Instead, we want to focus on the one thing we’re afraid of about her: her career trajectory. She’ll be famous for a long time; what worries us is how long she wants it. There’s only two things we could do about it: Keep putting her here and enjoy the Jackie Rice rollercoaster till she decides to stop.

 

 

10. EMPRESS SHUCK

Grow up beautiful

Last Year:

 

          

A child star’s curse is when the poor kid can’t grow old. Because she is so adorable as a little bundle, the public wants her to stay that way. That is, of course, impossible. Let Aiza Seguerra tell you the rest of the story. So how do you fight it? Grow up beautiful, the way Empress did. Bet you don’t recall that in 2003, about three years into this FHM gig, Empress was the most popular child actress at one awards tilt. Ten years later she’s on the cover and you’re staring differently, and not like you would Aiza.
