INTERVIEW: Lou E. Albano

Did you ever think you’d grace the pages of FHM?
Before, hindi talaga. My dad was not okay about it. Pero recently, naiisip ko rin na parang gusto ko. But I told myself, I’d wait for the right time. When we had the meeting, when we were told that it was going to be for the biggest issue of the year, I felt na ito na yung hinihintay kong right time.

Why did you hesitate at first? Didn’t you think you were sexy enough?
It was more of natatakot ako. Parang baka hindi maging okay yung reaction ng mga tao. But naisip ko rin na if I’m not going to try, how will I know?
