The mysterious nun in 'Seklusyon' is the newest FHM cover girl

FHM Philippines dubbed "Seklusyon" star Phoebe Walker as the "next big thing" in the indie filmmaking scene as they unveiled the actress as their newest cover girl.

Walker, who won Best Supporting Actress at the Metro Manila Film Festival 2016 for her portrayal of an enigmatic nun in Erik Matti's devil-infested film, is pictured in a chest-baring black bodice.

Speaking with the magazine, Walker said her unexpected win --defeating the likes of Mercedes Cabral, Cai Cortez, and Gladys Reyes for the acting nod-- has led to her receiving numerous criticisms.

"So far, bashing is what I cannot stand, because it really gets on my nerves when people think they can say something about you," she admitted. "But then it's part of the job because you're a public icon, right?"

Aside from "Seklusyon," Walker also appeared in 2014's "The Trophy Wife" and 2015's "Gayuma." She also won an edition of "The Amazing Race Philippines."

FHM to cease publication

MANILA - The publisher of FHM is suspending the magazine's publication after more than 30 years in circulation, it was announced on Tuesday.

In a statement posted on its website, Bauer Media explained that "over time young men's media habits have continually moved towards mobile and social."

A report from The Guardian revealed that FHM's circulation fell to less than 67,000 for the first six months of 2015, or 20 percent less than that of the year before.

The Facebook page of FHM issued its own statement, saying: "Unfortunately it's true: it has been announced today the intention to suspend publication of FHM."

"It's been an absolute joy producing the magazine over the years. Thank you for all your support - we will keep you updated with developments over the coming weeks," it added.

Bauer Media also announced that it is suspending publication of a similar magazine called Zoo, which was launched back in 2004.

First published as "For Him Magazine" in 1985, FHM dominated the men's market during the 1990s and went on to launch a series of international editions. It is perhaps best known for its "100 Sexiest Women in the World" list.

FHM Philippines has yet to release a statement on the matter.

In an interview with FHM Philippines, Raymundo recalled the time she backed out of a chance to grace the front page because she suffered from an asthma attack.

She also said that the cover is a perfect way to celebrate her 40th birthday on December. "You know, bata pa lang ako I had always kept to heart what they say that life begins at 40," she said.

"For the last 14 years, I had dedicated myself to my kids, so now I’m doing this for myself.

Why Maria Ozawa wants to apologize to Kris

MANILA - Former porn star Maria Ozawa wants to apologize to Kris Aquino after a "report" from a satirical news website, which quoted both of them to have insulted each other, misled netizens as it went viral in recent weeks.

The Japanese performer, who took the stage at FHM Bro-Con over the weekend, addressed the issue on the sidelines of the event held at SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

"I was surprised," she told reporters. "I don't know who said it first, but everybody was making a big deal out of it. If I have a chance to speak to her (Aquino) one day, I'll just apologize."

The satirical website, Manila Link, published the fake report after Ozawa said she was willing to date President Benigno Aquino III, the brother of Kris.

"Ilang lalake na gumamit sa kanya?" Kris supposedly said, referring to Ozawa.

Another fake story from the same website then quoted Ozawa to have said, responding to Kris, "Not as many as you."

Kris earlier denied making any statement against Ozawa. In a statement to PEP.ph, the TV host said: "I was never asked, so how can I comment? ... Sa akin lang, kung mag-iingay, sana huwag na akong gamitin."

Meanwhile, in a video interview with men's magazine UNO, Ozawa also denied saying anything against Kris. Like the ABS-CBN star, Ozawa said she was never asked on the matter.

"I never had that interview," she said. "I was wondering who made that story up and why they would do such a thing, to make it look like we're fighting. I was surprised. Why would people do that? I'm so sorry for everybody."

Asked if she was serious about her earlier statement about dating the President, Ozawa answered: "It was a joke! I'm sorry about people making it so serious and it became news. I'm sorry."

Ozawa is returning to the Philippines next month to start filming "Nilalang," wherein she will co-star with Robin Padilla. The horror film, which marks her local showbiz debut, is one of eight entries in the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival.

LOOK: Saicy sizzles in her 'most daring' shoot

MANILA - Saicy Aguila, "Banana Split" dancer and former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate, returns as an FHM babe three years after she posed for the men's magazine.

The 31-year-old Aguila, who is featured as the "December Babe" of FHM's official website, was photographed by Ejay Leung wearing only leopard print lingerie.

She was styled by Debra Bernales with hair and makeup by Dimple Callada and Cha Montenegro, respectively.(Check the full gallery here.)

In her interview with FHM, Aguila said she aspires to be like American superstar Jennifer Lopez, who is known as both a singer and a dancer.

"I tried singing and dancing din before, I can say keri naman. When I do shows, more on dancing siya, but I also mix some singing din lalo na kapag medyo pagod na ako," she said.

Over the years since she exited the "Pinoy Big Brother" house and joined showbiz in 2007, Aguila said she has learned to manage "stage fright."

"Sa simula, 'yung kaba talaga nandoon siya, kahit na anong gawin mo hindi siya mawawala. Every time I step onto a stage, it's always present," she said.

"But once I start performing na, nawawala na siya, until hindi mo na siya maramdaman. Maybe because I'm starting to enjoy what I'm doing na, kusa na siyang lumalabas."

The same can be said for Aguila's FHM comeback, which she considers as the most daring she has done in her career.

"Siguro ito na 'yung mako-consider ko na sexiest na nagawa ko kasi first time ko talaga nag-topless! But it's a good experience kasi I learned na kaya ko pala," she said.

"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.
