PBA courtside reporter goes daring on FHM

MANILA - Former Miss Bikini Philippines contestant and PBA courtside reporter Erika Padilla appears nearly naked on the latest cover of men's magazine FHM, which was unveiled Thursday.



Photographed by Ejay Leung, Padilla poses on the June 2014 cover wearing only a worn-out tank top with a print that says "#selfie".

A preview of her pictorial in FHM's pages shows her wearing a bikini with knee-high socks inside what appears to be a locker room -- a nod to her current stint as a sportscaster.

"When you say FHM cover, it's not just about being sexy, or baring your body," she said, when asked whether being a cover girl for the popular magazine has sunk in yet.

"It's also about establishing certain success. With this cover, I just want to somehow celebrate the humble success that I was able to achieve from being an actress transitioning to a sportscaster to a writer and all those," she said.

Before landing her job with the PBA, Padilla was a contract artist of ABS-CBN's Star Magic and appeared in several of the network's TV series.

Currently, she is also a columnist for the online platform of FHM.
