Faye Bordeos - October 2006

INTERVIEW: CHARMAINE CHANCO
PHOTOGRAPHY: JAKE VERZOSA

So, you have a thing about sexy compliments. What gives?
There are times na medyo nahihiya talaga ako when they say I have a gorgeous body. Ha ha! Maybe I just can’t overcome my shyness. I’m a chubby kid kasi growing up so I’m not used to those kinds of compliments.

No way! It’s tough to picture you as a cellulite bin!
Really, it’s true! I was in high school then. There was even a time when my classmates would relentlessly tease me ’bout being fat that it got me into a catfight. I countered: “So what if chubby ako, promdi ka naman.” If I feel threatened, I won’t be afraid to fight for myself.
