It certainly was a long wait since the last time!
It doesn’t matter how long I was gone for as long as I’m here now, di ba? Siyempre I have other priorities, lalo na nung nagkaroon ako ng mga TV shows. Marami kasi silang ibinigay na roles sa akin na sabihin na nating pambata. But I never set a limit on myself in terms of posing sexy. Para hindi mawala ang magic and appeal ko sa kids, that I can still do other things, kinailangan kong magpahinga sa pagpapa-sexy. But I never closed my doors on FHM.

Now this is what we can truly call a “splashing comeback,” isn’t it?
Ha ha! It feels good to know you really prepared for this shoot. And not only that, nararamdaman ko ang support ninyo.

What did you miss most about FHM?
The staff—both the old and new ones—kasi lahat kayo kasundo ko. Kaya I’m really thankful now that I feel na hindi pa rin ako ibang tao. Masaya pa rin. Hindi ako naninibago, makulit pa rin ang atmosphere. Nothing awkward.

We’re just very happy to see FHM’s little girl all grown up, and with a flourishing career at that.
Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero sabi nila, sa lahat ng nakasabayan ko, ako yung naka-graduate sa pagpapa-sexy. Nabibigyan ako ng chance to play drama roles, wholesome roles. Maganda lang siguro ang naging flow ng suwerte sa akin, at siyempre ang mga decisions na ginawa ko.
