Alodia graces FHM cover for first time
MANILA – Cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao has agreed to pose for a men’s magazine, as confirmed by the newest cover released by FHM Philippines on Friday.
On its Facebook page, FHM Philippines uploaded its July 2013 cover, which showed Gosiengfiao wearing a revealing beige halter top while sitting on a white chair.
It had the tagline, “Alodia: It’s all right to be obsessed.”
In an interview with the magazine, Gosiengfiao said she was first invited to pose for FHM Philippines three years ago, back when she was still a college student.
“I’m honored, pero hindi ko rin ini-expect,” she said of her first FHM cover. “I’m very shy, so matagal naming pinag-isipan – but finally I’m here! The first invite I got was three years ago. And I wasn’t ready then, I was still in college. And very, very shy!”
This prompted FHM Philippines’ Mikey Agulto to write in his online article: “Having landed Alodia in our pages, we’re now big believers that long-term investments result to big payoffs.”
On Wednesday, FHM Philippines uploaded a teaser video of its July 2013 cover girl on its website, prompting several netizens to say that Gosiengfiao has agreed to pose for the men’s magazine.
While the video did not feature the woman’s face, it showed her in a variety of poses and action shots. A clip showed the July 2013 cover girl wearing a yellow and white striped sweater and playing on a red piano.
Last June 12, Gosiengfiao uploaded a photo of herself wearing the same outfit and playing on the same red piano. It had the caption: “Finally done with today’s magazine shoot! First time to play on a red piano!”
Gosiengfiao has turned her fascination with Japanese pop culture into a successful career in the Philippines. Aside from being dubbed as the country’s “Cosplay Queen,” she is one of the hosts of the cable channel Animax Asia.
She became part of the defunct ABS-CBN show “Laugh Out Loud” and has appeared in the Star Cinema movie “The Reunion.”
Gosiengfiao currently leads a J-pop girl group called Super Dolls, which also features two Japanese cosplayers.

Animax Carnival to make 3rd stop in Manila
MANILA, Philippines – The Animax Carnival, an event targeted at anime and cosplay lovers, is set to make its third stop in Manila next month.
The event will be held on December 9 at the Robinsons Place Manila’s Midtown Atrium in Malate, Manila, following successful stops in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Taipei, Taiwan.
A highlight of the event will be the final round of Animax’s search for its next “Ani-Mate” presenter, who will have a chance to accompany Filipino cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao in the cable channel’s events and shows.
Gosiengfiao is also one of the five judges in the competition, where the winner will take home a cash prize of P25,000.
“Animax is the destination for top anime programs in the Philippines and across Asia. We believe Animax Carnival is an extension of the colorful and fun Animax entertainment experience beyond TV. Fun and engaging, the event will offer something for everyone,” Ricky Ow, executive vice president and general manager for networks in Asia of Sony Pictures Television, said in a press statement.
Animax is managed by Sony Pictures Television, along with other cable channels such as AXN.
Aside from the Ani-Mate search finals, the Animax Carnival will also see Gosiengfiao reveal her newest cosplay costume, which is based on one of the shows aired on the cable channel.
Attendees may also get to be anime voice actors for a day in the event’s dubbing booth, which includes characters from the programs “Beelzebub,” “Naruto,” “Bleach,” “K-On!,” “Fairy Tail” and “Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan.”
There will also be carnival and stage games, and an “AniChan Kids Corner” where children can engage in activities like anime eyes painting and manga drawing.
The Animax Carnival will be held at the Robinsons Manila Midtown Atrium on Sunday, December 9, from 10 a.m. For more details, watch Animax or visit www.animaxasia.com.
