MANILA -- A more confident and "ripe" Bangs Garcia has returned on the cover of FHM, three years since she last posed for the men's magazine.
Unveiled Friday on FHM Philippines' official website, the magazine's October 2013 cover shows the 26-year-old actress wearing black underwear and a leather jacket, which showed her cleavage.
Garcia debuted as an FHM cover girl in its May 2009 issue. This was followed by another cover appearance on the same magazine in March 2010.
"Those three years made me ripe. Mas hinog na ako ngayon, mas confident," Garcia was quoted as saying by FHM, referring to the span of time before making a comeback on the magazine.
"Mentally, mas marami na akong natutunan. Mas marami na akong experiences. Also, wala na 'yung baby fats—'yun ang napansin ko," she said.
For her FHM feature, Bangs was photographed by lensman Xander Angeles.
According to the cover write-up on FHM's website, Bangs is looking to be more known as "Valerie Garcia," her real name.
As "Bangs," the actress last appeared on the ABS-CBN afternoon drama "Kung Ako'y Iiwan Mo" and the horror film "Shake, Rattle & Roll 14" in 2012.
