Angelica Panganiban Got Curves


Angelica Panganiban started as a kiddy star in ABS-CBN. She was joined by her best friend in real life Camille Prats who was also a model like her of Men's magazine named FHM. Angelica accepts daring role now, unlike before she was just doing the Tweetums role but now, you could compare her to some successful sexy hot babes like Joyce Jimenes and Andrea del Rosario. In my own opinion, I think she was now considered as the new Pantsya ng Bayan, No doubt, She really is ....

To Angelica more power to your career.

Andrea del Rosario

Andrea del Rosario

I am a fun reader of FHM magazine, a magazine that is looking for nice curves and faces of young girls preferably sexy (hahaha) . Andrea del Rosario is one of the filipina model that is featured in that magazine, she's very sexy and smart.

The adult scene in the Philippines has certainly changed throughout the years. Before, in order to get attention, one must bare her body over movies or pictures. The Philippine cinema has been graced by a host of beauties fantasized by a lot of men ever since its conception, but today it is harder to be recognized. This is a generation of FHM-reading men willing to spend on mobile wallpapers, calendars, videos, and the Internet. They will notice you if you take off your clothes, then forget you. Only a few have been at the top of the men’s fantasies. To be on top, one has to be sexy inside out. Try asking Andrea Del Rosario.

Andrea has been constantly on FHM’s top 100 for several years and also on the top lists of similar men’s magazines. What is more interesting is that Andrea never began her career as a sexy celebrity. And even today that her exposure to the public has been reduced, she is regarded as one of most alluring faces on screen.

Andrea del Rosario began her career in modeling for a fashion clothing line Pretty-Pretty, which shouldn’t be hard for 5'5" frame. Her acting break began when she officially announced as member of Star Circle batch 3. The same batch produced today’s popular talents like Paolo Contis, Carlos Agassi, and Piolo Pascual. Her participation with Star Circle guaranteed her to be in youth-oriented shows such as GIMIK and light dramas such as Esperanza. Even with shows like those people, already noticed her solid acting and that her characters show off her sexy character. An example is her portrayal in the teen show Tabing Ilog and in the movie Jologs.
She also had roles in movies like Mula sa Puso, Bata Bata Paano Ka Ginawa, and Hiling. She ventured into more serious roles in Minsan Minahal Kita and Bukas Na Lang Kita Mamahalin. She was also part of a show called Attagirl, a pinoy version of the popular chic show called Sex and the City.
Her first venture into adult movies was Lupe, which were followed by Keka and Bugbog Sarado, all in the same year. It was around the same time that mature men’s magazines just started its circulation, and sex goddesses started to populate men’s minds. Andrea was catapulted to more popularity when she was included into a women mega-group called the Viva Hot Babes. Everybody pictured her as the leader of the group with equal billing with other established members such as Maui Taylor and Katya Santos.
With the Hot Babes, Andrea toured the clubs and the rest of the country in exclusive shows and selling a huge number of straight-to-video merchandise, magazines, their own movie, and even a decent selling album. (It helped that the album cover revealed a lot of things about the ladies.)
Andrea del Rosario soon realized that she needed to evolve if she wanted to stay longer in the entertainment business. Because of her previous stint in theater, she had more serious roles on television, most notably her recent stint in the soap opera Gulong Ng Palad.
Today Andrea is as versatile as she can be. Currently she is an established belly dancing instructor and appears occasionally on TV and on film. She is now considered a strong character actor who’s expected to last longer than most of her Hotbabe alumni.

Cindy Kurleto’s lovely face was first publicly noticed in a San Miguel Beer commercial and this is where window of opportunities in Philippine show biz opened for her. During the early stage of career, her relationship with popular actor Jericho Rosales brought her to limelight.

Valerie Conception

Valerie Concepcion

Valerie Concepcion was born on December 21, 1987, in Manila, Philippines. Val, unlike her other contemporaries, didn’t actually enter show business should she could support her family. It was her love for the craft—and her desire to entertain people—that prompted her to join the family of Click, a noon-time teen show of GMA 7 where she played the role of Yasmin. Otherwise, she would just be a full-time student who’s taking up a degree in Mass Communications or in a cooking school, turning one of her hobbies into a profession. At a very young age of 15, Valerie was already conquering TVs and movies. Besides Click, also played a significant supporting role in the movie Fantastic Man. She was so good with her acting performances that she was hailed as Best New Female TV Personality in the 2003 Star Awards. Indeed, one would definitely believe that she was already at a peak of her career, until news broke out, and she was forced to leave from her work temporarily. Known to a few but a total shock to many, Val was pregnant with her first child—and she was only 16.Everybody thought that it’s the total end of Valerie, who gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl whom she fondly calls as Fiona. However, the dilemma turned into something positive when she was welcomed back to the world she learned to love with Open Arms. She received great parts in GMA’s fantaseryes, such as Mulawin: The Movie and in Majika, where she played the role of Naryan, an umbra or a female spirit who needs to conform to the wishes of her master. She was also Elisa in Atlantika, a concept of GMA of a very powerful kingdom found underneath the sea. However, it was her portrayal as Nora Ferrer in Sinasamba Kita that made even her critics think that she can be a dramatic actress. Nevertheless, it was during one of her shoots for the said soap opera that she met a very terrible accident. It could have been just a fake collision with a car, but it landed her in the hospital for days. Valerie wasn’t only noticed for her acting prowess but for her ample curves as well, which people think got much better after she gave birth. This gave her great spots in men’s magazines, including FHM, where she was heralded as the 42nd sexiest woman in the Philippines. She also never fails to entertain millions of people all over the world as she becomes one of the female co-hosts of Willie Revillame in Wowowee. Valerie can also be seen in commercials, most notably in her cameo appearance in San Miguel Beer with Manny Pacquiao and Jet Li. Valerie believes that everything happens for a certain reason. For a girl who’s barely in her twenties, to think that her setbacks are only lessons to be learned is such a huge feat. Her determination and natural ability will truly make her shine among the stars.

Ruffa Gutierrez as one of the most beautiful woman in the philippines

Ruffa Gutierrez

She has been declared as one of the most beautiful women in the Philippines. She has acted in television and movies in more occasions than people would ever care to count. She has been through controversy and duress, yet she still stands proud and tall as a woman who has seen almost everything there is to be seen in the Philippine showbiz industry.
Ruffa Gutierrez is a Filipino actress, former beauty queen, and model who won the title of Binibining Pilipinas World in 1993 and was the Second Princess in Miss World 1993. She was born as Sharmaine Ruffa Rama Gutierrez on June 24, 1974, in Manila, Philippines, to Eddie Gutierrez, a very popular mestizo actor in the 1960s, and former actress, Annabelle Rama. She is the oldest among three children, others being identical twin brothers, Raymond and Richard, who are both actors as well.Upon achieving success in the world of beauty pageants, she started off in her career as an actress. She has starred in over 50 different films in the Philippines and has done countless appearances on television. During 1994, she got herself in a very huge controversy when she won, though by cheating, the Best Actress Award for Loretta in the Twentieth Metro Manila Film Festival. The story rocked the film industry. The award was meant for Aiko Melendez, one of her good friends. The error was corrected a couple of days after.Ruffa married a Turkish businessman named Yilmaz Bektas in 2003. At first, their marriage seemed to be perfect and golden, as their union resulted with two children and Ruffa staying in Istanbul, Turkey, where her husband resides in. She had even converted to the Islamic faith. That was until accusations of horrible abuse such as being electrocuted in the bathtub, continuously being beaten for fifteen hours straight, being locked up in the cabinet for hours at a time, and so on. Yilmaz retaliated by denying the torture, though he confirmed that he indeed slapped her once. This, after he learned that she was previously married. But the accusations did do much to tarnish their four-year marriage, and they came to a mutual agreement of ending it all together on May 2007.Since then, she has reconverted back to her Christian faith and came back to the Philippines to continue her showbiz career and to take care of her kids. She claimed that Bektas has been threatening them for some time now, so she requested protection from the police force, which was granted for a month. A little bit later, they reconciled, and Bektas plans to repropose to her, but only “at the right time,” as he said, as well as gaining blessing from her family. This would be close to a total impossibility since Annabelle Rama has publicly stated that she does not want to see Bektas.She now hosts the showbiz talk show “The Buzz,” replacing Kris Aquino, who took maternity leave. Supposedly, a temporary replacement, Kris has announced her resignation from the show, so Ruffa becomes a permanent host from now on. Ruffa has also starred in a hit fantaserye of ABS-CBN entitled Kokey. If she’s not working and taking care of her kids, she’s busy with her Roof-a-Child Foundation.
