THE FUTURE OF HYPERFLEXIBILITY The hottest tech isn’t just carried around in pockets— these jeans are the future.

Superior Comfort is the second part of the Hyperflex trifecta. This is not the kind of denim you’ll be rushing to change out of at the end of the day. It works with you rather than constricts. That means more time to make your move while being dressed in the best.

A man’s got to move. The Super Elasticity on Freego’s Hyperflex Jeans makes limitations a thing of the past. The stretchiness of the denim gives you hyperflexibility in all aspects of your daily tasks. It lets you move with full confidence when it comes to looking cool and casual when the clock strikes five.

T

he future is here. Smartphones and tablets are necessities, sure, but high-tech isn’t exclusive to gadgets alone. Even clothes are stepping up their game. Self-lacing shoes, waterproof pocket shorts, and even spray-on fabrics are all moving from virtual to reality. The great news is next-level technology has reached denim, too. Freego’s Hyperflex Jeans is changing the game. They’re made with super elasticity and 98% fabric recovery

Hyperflex boasts of Excellent Fabric Recovery. After giving you superior stretch and comfort, it rebounds to its original shape; ready for another battle the next day. No floppiness. No looseness. No weakness. We’re familiar with typical jeans burning out and reaching the end of their lifespans way too quickly (the price we pay for living at high speed) but that isn’t a concern with this new denim concept.

so they return to shape after wearing. They’re also super lightweight and comfortable for any time of the day or any season. You can move freely without worrying about damage, deformity, or discomfort. It’s not old-school tailoring magic. It’s simply the future of denim technology. When you step out in Freego’s Hyperflex Jeans, that phone sitting in your pocket won’t be the only tech highlight of your look. It will be the sleek pair of jeans you have on.

Freego’s Hyperflex Jeans comes in three stylish shades: the dark Hyper Clean, medium tone Hyper Wave, and light Hyper Sand. All of them flexible for everyday wear, work, or other special occasions. Available in all department stores nationwide. Follow Freego Jeans on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Hedem Remigio

Yassi’s regal looks will leave you spellbound. Plus, she’s the type who, despite being on top of her game, doesn’t stop working to reach new heights. And that’s hot.

With an unforgettable name, foxy features, and killer curves, Hedem commands your full attention. This former game show beauty is a gem worthy of a grand unveiling.

PULSE 2 6 COMIC STRIP: THINKING DOUBLE Twinning even in your dreams

FROM THE EDITOR

How long can you hold a conversation with a woman? Five minutes? An hour? Four hours? For as long as she can take your conceit? Forget it you can’t even begin? The way I see it, you’ve already won her over the moment she fixes her gaze on you while you speak. She’s thinking she doesn’t have the time, but she can't believe she’s listening and that you actually might make sense. You’d have taken out the fight in her if you make her laugh. Sounds cliché but it’s true— that peal of laughter is the sound of a wall collapsing, and at that point she may be thinking ‘who cares what other people say—who cares what I say?!— this guy is interesting.’ I have no absolute proof for this, but I do know that when we talked with Rhian Ramos to plan this cover shoot in France, and finally when she sat down for an interview when she got back, we caught the little gaze and the intermittent laughter. We knew she was smart, so we had to ask the kind of questions that would make her think, or risk losing her. All in all, we didn’t lose her, and we get to print the best conversation we can have with a woman (and one of the best shoots we’ve had to date). If it wasn’t work—if, say, we were just a normal guy who happened to be in the company of a famous female celebrity and we had to make small talk, I’d say we did good. If we ever had dreams of going any further like, say, marrying her, like what Ali Khatibi did with Christine Reyes, and Lloyd Lee with Shamcey Supsup (Star Catcher p. 30), I’d say we could get there if we put in extra work, even if ‘this guy is interesting’ doesn’t mean jack shit. Ali and Lloyd give us some tips on how to land a celebrity based on their experience, and we’re throwing in the gaze-and-laugh detail for good measure. There’s one other thing I’d like to tell you about our time with Rhian. She called us on the phone. It was because there were some things we failed to ask, and it was our mistake. But no matter—she called. If you hold a woman in conversation long enough that she calls you because there were some things she still wanted to talk about, you have her.

WI LLIAM V I N C E N T “ B I L L” BEGG

Heroism is not just the monopoly of men. Lily was a writer and a student leader at the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. In 1973, she was arrested with friends when the police did not find her sister in their house. They threatened her with torture and sexual molestation. She declared to her captors, “Democracy is dead in the Philippines!” After a few days, she died in Camp Crame under constabulary custody. It was said that she committed suicide by drinking muriatic acid in a men’s bathroom. But the family would not believe it because when they claimed her body, it was cut up with a saw up to her vagina. They took out her brain and stomach, and, like “dinuguan,” tore them into pieces. These were brought to the funeral parlor in a pail, soaked in muriatic acid. She died at 23, the first under detention in a military camp during Martial Law.

December 10, 1948-March 18, 1976

William Begg was a FilipinoAmerican Ateneo seminarian who frequently immersed with the urban poor. He joined the Kabataang Makabayan. Despite the fact that his whole family were American citizens, he chose to be a Filipino citizen. He was kicked out of the Ateneo despite being a candidate for the top honors and was imprisoned for months when Martial Law was proclaimed. He went to UP, but left it to join the New People’s Army in 1974. He was captured alive in a military raid in Isabela in 1975 that left four other companions dead. He was tortured to death with “seventeen stab wounds, eleven gunshot wounds, a broken rib cage and smashed hands.” He was 24. His orgmates at the UP Lipunang Pangkasaysayan gave tribute to him, “Hindi ka mamamatay, Billy—patuloy kang nabubuhay sa dakilang tradisyon ng paglilingkod sa sambayanan.”

F A R T H E R B A C K I N H I S T O R Y Heroes of WWII H U N T E R S R O T C G U E R I L L A S When some PMA students and ROTC cadets were rejected by the Americans because they were too young to fight the Japanese, they organized themselves into the Hunters ROTC guerillas— founded by Miguel Ver, Terry Adevoso, and Gustavo Ingles. They started by taking guns from armories of the universities. After the ambush at Pugad Lawin at the boundary of Rizal and Laguna on August 30, 1942, where 19 Hunters killed all 200 soldiers on sight, they made people realize that the Japanese could be defeated. They established such a ferocious reputation that people were surprised to realize that they were just schoolboys.

First young martyr in Philippine history B R A V E Y O U T H O F M A C A B E B E Macabebes were known to be “traitors," but the first martyr for freedom in the Philippines ever recorded was one of them. In 1571, a Kapampangan, described as a “brave youth from Macabebe”—a “binatilyo”— brought his people from Hagonoy, Bulacan, in 40 karakoas or warships and told the Spaniards, “May the lightning strike and split me through my body, and my women see me in despised if I ever do make peace with you; at the bar of Bancusay I await you.” On June 3, 1571, in the Battle of Bangkusay, he faced the Spaniards. He was mistaken as Tarik Soliman or Rajah Soliman–Spanish records from 1590 referred to him as Bambalito.

E M M A N U E L “ E M A N ” L A C A B A December 10, 1948-March 18, 1976 A young writer and poet who wrote about people in the margins—the tragic members of the Lapiang Malaya and the Rizalist Kapatirans of Mt. Banahaw. In 1974, he joined the New People’s Army in Mindanao. In 1976, they wounded him in a raid in Davao del Norte. Two of his companions died in the raid, and an 18-year-old pregnant comrade was captured alive with him. Both of them were executed; his captors fired .45 calibre bullets to his mouth and chest. He was tied in his ankles and dragged like a pig to a common grave. He was 27. We don’t usually realize that a lot of our heroes are poets—Rizal, Bonifacio, and Eman. Before he died, he wrote a “Letter to the Filipino Artists”:

We are tribe less and all tribes are ours. We are homeless and all homes are ours. We are nameless and all names are ours… The road less traveled by we've takenAnd that has made all the difference: The barefoot army of the wilderness We all should be in time. Awakened, the masses are Messiah. Here among workers and peasants our lost Generation has found its true, its only home.

Michael Charleston “Xiao” Chua is an assistant professorial lecturer at DLSU Manila. He co-authored the book Bonifacio: Ang Unang Pangulo and is the coordinator for the petition for Andres Bonifacio to be 1st president of the Philippines. He is historical consultant for various TV shows tackling Philippine history. He is spokesperson of the Knights of Rizal on the Torre de Manila issue.

ERRATUM We’d like to apologize for placing the wrong dates of birth and death of Liliosa Hilao, March 14, 1950-April 7, 1973 and William Vincent “Bill” Begg, July 14, 1950-March 21, 1975 in our “Young Unsung Heroes” feature.

May childhood ka ba? You never seem to have anything to contribute when your friends talk fondly about their stupid escapades when they were younger. Maybe it was your overprotective parents or your inability to do anything productive while a comfortable couch and television were in close proximity. A lot of factors could have kept you from doing the same things your friends did. But now that you’re older, sort of wiser, and probably more independent, what’s stopping you from becoming a child all over again? RIDE A BIkE DOWN A STE E P H I LL Being a kid during a technology boom, going outside never really seemed like a fun idea. Why play outside, when there was a whole new world just waiting to be discovered in front of your computer screen? But now that you’re an adult, and are probably sick of every darn software update your computer alerts you of, maybe it’s time to whip out your old musty BMX for one last ride into the sunset. Expert tips: “Focus on where you want to go; not what you want to avoid,” says Chris Allison, Program Director, Indoor Cycling and Rowing SADDLE ROW Studios. “Things come at you much faster on a downhill [slope]. All too often, inexperienced cyclists might see, for example, a pothole in the road and become fixated on it. Always remember, your bike will go where you look.” 1

danger you are in because of the river’s current,” says Joanna Mungcal, competitive swimmer. “It isn’t really advisable to jump into rivers in the first place. But if you really want to, just jump feet first so that even if you happen to reach the floor, you’ll be able to kick off and reach the surface faster.” DESIg N I Ng AN D F Ly I N g y O U R OWN kITE Granted, it might be a bit difficult to find clear air space with all the telephone lines and billboards blocking the view. But few things rival the rush of flying a kite. (Just ask Mary Poppins, kids.) There’s a certain satisfaction in flying a thing that you created with all your architectural engineering knowhow. You’ll literally soar with flying colors. Expert tips: “Use light materials such as the coconut mid-rib from a walis tingting, which is common in Filipino households,” says Orlando T.D. Ongkingco, President of Kite Association of the Philippines (KAP). “Choose the stiff and straight ones for the frame 3


of a simple Malay or diamond kite. A grocery bag is durable material for a kite sail. You can use tape or sewing thread, or both, to attach the sail to the kite frame. A tail of four to five times the length of the kite is also recommended for simple Malay Kites.” C L I M B I N g yO U R N E Ig H BOR’S TR E E TO PI C k S O M E FR U IT Being naughtier than you should be is a vital part of growing up. It’s a key part of developing riskreward management.

Do you remember being so surprised that a lola as old as her could run so fast and hit so hard with her tsinelas? Good times, good times.

That unfortunately included mutilating and having gladiator fights with insects. Going out at night to catch rare spiders and pretty fireflies was one of the most magical things to do as a child. Sadly this also involved killing and torturing them for your amusement. We were fucked up children, weren’t we? Expert tips: Rather than showing off your above average reflexes by snatching dragonflies by their wings, why not use a net instead? “Dragonflies’ exoskeleton is made out of chitin, a very thin (hence their glossy, shiny appearance) material protecting their jelly-like insides. Nets could just possibly lessen the damage done to them [by catching them by the wings],” says Paula Marie Dehesa, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, De La Salle University, Class 2017.

Verge DONOR’S NUCLEUS

with how busy everything is these days, we’re sure you’ve wished that you could just split yourself so you could be in more places at once. *puts on matrix shades* what if we told you we could make that happen? cloning people has been a common topic for mainstream media for some time now with movies like the island and tV series like orphan black, which play devil’s advocate to fuel our conspiracy theories about the government funding illegal research on cloning to make human organ banks for filthy old men. but how is cloning research going, anyway? ever since dolly the cloned sheep was put down, it seems like all the clamor for döppelgangers died with her. was cloning research really thrown out the window or is there a scientific revolution happening under our noses?

W H AT I S CLONING? Technically speaking, it's just the production of several genetically identical copies of an organism. It’s the process of introducing pieces of recombinant DNA (read: DNA made through laboratory methods of genetic combination) to cells. It’s a common practice in molecular biology labs and can be used in many different ways. W H AT A R E STEM CELLS? Stem cells are very important products that come from cloning because they are the only cells that can differentiate into any of the adult cell types. This is important because as we grow older, other kinds of cells become specialized into performing only one specific function.

EGG CELL

BUT STEM CELLS COME FROM UNBORN BABIES! While they can come from destroying embryos created from heterosexual sex, they can also come from performing Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT). The process involves taking the nucleus of a somatic cell (not sex cell) from the donor organism and transferring it into an enucleated egg cell. If it starts dividing, the egg cell is implanted into a surrogate mother.

COMMON USES OF STEM CELLS Disease modeling Stem cells from diseased adults can be used to study the cellular basis of the sickness. COMMON USES OF CLONING Organ replacement SCNT can also be used to create complex organisms like organs and even living mammals! SO WHY AREN’T WE CLONING MORE? Because it isn’t practical… well, at least right now. While we do have the technology to make organs, animals, and even humans, the cloning process is still mostly trial-and-error with significantly more errors. Before Dolly was cloned, the team had to go through a lot of dead sheep: those that weren’t cloned correctly in the lab, those that didn’t implant right in the uterus, those that were stillborn, those that were born alive but died out of abnormalities and various sicknesses.

one of the great mysteries of the universe: supremely fine women falling deeply in love with a total motherfucker. it’s inconceivable. but it happens. and it’s incredibly unfair for the good guys—the ones who hold open doors and refuse to split the bill on the first date. because in the dating world, it seems like nice guys do finish last. maybe you’ve experienced it first-hand: staring into the eyes of the (current) woman that you love as she explains why she has decided to crumple up your heart and replace it with a black lump of coal. all because of an asshole waiting in the wings to pick her up. well, you’re in luck. we’ve taken what women love about these nogood bastards and made it so you can have the custom d-bag skin without actually becoming a lowlife. so enjoy and try not to get too close to the dark side, mmmkay?

Send her—by snail mail—a postcard with a sweet message. Or even just give her a bouquet of roses out of the blue. Spontaneity coupled with some excitement go a long way.

These bad-boy idiots have a super power: it’s called Big Dick Mentality. They walk around thinking they have a big dick and acting like they have a big dick. They enter a room loudly: “Pare what’s up?” or “Yo,” or the most sophisticated of all, “In da hauzzzz!” It’s essentially a gorilla beating its chest. Unfortunately, women respond to this. In the animal kingdom, females are normally attracted to the loudest or most powerful representative. It’s just natural, even in our asphalt jungle. W h at ’ s a n i c e quiet guy to do? Assert your presence without having to pee on everybody like a nervous lion. A hearty “Good morning, everybody!” is a great opener when you arrive at the office. You can follow it up with individual greetings like, “So, Rob. How’s everything at home. Your kids doing okay?” The females in the crowd will sense your assertiveness while the men will see it as friendly action.

One thing going for these loudmouths— they’re confident AF. And their confidence oozes out into their fashion choices. They don’t need to dress in expensive clothes or rare kicks; they wear what they want to wear and they make it look good. W h at ’ s a n i c e t- s h i r t- a n d -j e a n s guy to do? You may need to make an effort. You don’t need to wear a leather jacket, leather boots, and God forbid… leather pants and a gold chain with the word MuthaFuckah on it. But once in a while, dress to impress. Research online on what the latest threads are. Observe your male friends who seem to have an affinity for fashion. You deserve that upgrade; and she will appreciate that upgrade.

Women love adventure. Even if they seem like they’re stuck in their desk jobs frantically typing away, inside, their inner Amelia Earhart is screaming to explore the world. So when women see the slacker bad boy waltzing back into work with their surfboards, their café racers, and their travel photos, an all-points bulletin fires every nerve in their body.

Sure, not all rich guys are bad boys, but some are. They buy women’s hearts with LV’s and Chanel. They raise a noisy fuss when the waiter at a restaurant serves them a subpar meal. Rich dudes believe that they are superior to the rest of the human race just because of their money. W h at ’ s a n i c e (poor) guy to do? If you’re middle-class, not that bright, and you have no means of creating a phone app that will turn you into a billionaire, forget it. You’ll never be rich. Just buy a local beer on your way home, drink it—alone—and be happy with your “okay” paying job. Your sincerity and total acceptance of your lot in life will attract the right girl.

Be at the right place, at the right time. Ali and Lloyd say they met their wives at a party. A birthday party, specifically: Ali and Christine at Raymond Gutierrez’s shindig; Lloyd and Shamcey at her birthday party at a village clubhouse. Of course, it helps that the ladies were among friends, feeling relaxed and more ready to socialize. Manila is a small town. Look for connections that can get you in the loop, and snag an introduction. 1

Build yourself up, buttercup. She’s a star, so you also have to have something going for you. Ali is in top form as an athlete. Lloyd, who used to model, was already very successful in his career when he met Shamcey. Have something impressive in your resume, something you are good at and something you worked hard for. This will help even things out when you are introduced. You will have more confidence in yourself, and it will separate you from the slobs stalking her on her social media accounts. As Lloyd puts it, “Kailangan prepared 2

ka rin, be somebody na magugustuhan din niya.” Find common ground. Christine was actually looking into training in mixed martial arts when she met Ali. “This sparked the conversation. She said she was interested in training. One day, she just showed up, and began training at the gym, where I would see her more often,” says Ali. While it is always good to put your best foot forward, it also helps to be true to yourself. “You can’t sustain being a fake in the long run,” he adds. 3

Be respectful. Need we say it? Respect boundaries. Show business can be about putting up fronts, so differentiate yourself by behaving like a gentleman. “You can’t [stop them from] thinking about what your motives are. There are people who are so starstruck with the celebrity factor and the fame, kaya nagiging defensive [yung celebrities] kasi baka masaktan lang sila or paglaruan. You just have to be yourself and prove that your intentions are pure,” Lloyd says. 4

Don’t rush in. “I wasn’t expecting anything. Christine wasn’t expecting anything either,” Ali says. Lloyd advises taking things slow. “Hindi ka niya mapagkakatiwalaan if you are moving in too fast. Kailangan ng kaunting timpla; hinay-hinay ka lang. If she wants, friendzone muna kayo. And when you think she is starting to fall for you, then you can try to take it to the next level. Don’t think that you are the center of the world. You have to consider if the other person is ready to get into a relationship, too. Wait it out and let her feel comfortable with you. It may be hard, but at the end of the day, it will be worth it,” Lloyd says. 5

Be the rock. Show her that you understand the nature of her job. It’s not easy being a celebrity, with the crazy schedules and when a slight misstep can mean an attack from Internet trolls. Show her that you are there for her, that you are the rock, and that you see her for who she really is. Ali says that off-cam, Christine is so maalaga and has a good heart. “People don’t see that; you can be the one to remind her [of who 6



she really is] when things get rough,” says Ali. Look presentable. In a social mediasavvy fanworld, you might end up with your photos online, too. Both Lloyd and Ali say they had to pay more attention to their appearance when they started dating their wives. “I was used to flip-flops, shorts, and white t-shirts,” Ali says. “But then, you have to start leveling up, because people will take photos of you, too. That’s when you understand why [these stars] have to go out of the house all made up.” It’s about being appealing to the senses, too, Lloyd adds. “Dapat mabango ka rin. Because people will comment, ‘Ang ganda-ganda niya, bakit ang pangit ng ka-date?”

Go for gold. At the end of the day, they say, just go for it. “You’ll never know if you are the one she is looking for,” Lloyd says. Ali adds, “In my fights, I have been up against guys who are bigger than me. It’s about being prepared and having focus and a strong mind. If you don’t try, eh di wala ka kaagad.”

The Leading Man Timeless ian Veneracion has some words of wisdom for Those who are iTching To make The ladies swoon buT haVe no idea how To do iT

He’s the hottest ticket in local showbiz at the moment, with girls and their titas swooning over his mestizo good looks at every turn. From the teleserye Pangako Sa ‘Yo, where he played a dashing governor fought over by two leading ladies, to the rom-com Achy Breaky Hearts , where he and co-star Richard Yap are pitted against each other in a hashtag battle on social media, there is no denying Ian Veneracion’s lakas ng dating. He broke into showbiz some 30-odd years ago via a sitcom called Joey and Son ; the current adulation took a long time in coming, and he is taking it all in stride. The family man who embodies the Tamang Swabe tagline of Primera brandy—which he endorses, by the way—talks to FHM about how to get, and keep, the girl of your dreams.

Ang tamang swabe sa panliligaw kailangan walang drama, light lang. Wag clingy masyado, huwag masyadong makapit . Hindi bale nang bitin [basta] wag sawa . Kahit sa text or sa tawag, mas okay na yung bitin siya kaysa sa sawang-sawa na siya sa’yo. Were you ever ‘basted?’ Oo naman ! Especially growing up, kapag may gusto akong ligawan, the parents [were] against me. Laging sinasabi na artista yan : baka naka-drugs yan o maraming babae yan. Yon lagi ang impression [ng tao ] of people from showbiz, so mahirap. Well, actually, mahirap manligaw nang seryoso. Madaling magloko kung kulitan lang. It’s actually hard for people from showbiz kasi parang may stigma na lolokohin ka lang nyan, na madaming babae yan tsaka puro party lang yan. And I don’t blame them because marami rin naman ganyan sa showbiz. To get over heartbreak… I take a long motorcycle ride. You would want to be in a different place physically, like maybe in another country. Or, if you are used to the city, go up to the mountains. I’d go up to the mountains and just be quiet, consolidate my thoughts and my emotions and contemplate. Usually, this would bring your vibe higher and your balance back.

You’ll know if she’s the one when you want to be around her 24/7. Before I met my wife, I couldn’t imagine myself being with the same person, going to bed and waking up with the same person every day. With her, I felt that I wanted her to be the last person I see every night and the first person I see every day when I wake up. That’s when I knew na siya talaga , and I have no regrets. It was the best decision I ever made and I feel the same way up to now. To get over being torpe… That’s me! I am torpe. Totoo ! When I really, really like a girl, name-mesmerize ako agad, I get speechless. I am the wrong person to ask that. *(laughs)* Be ready for a background check. For girls, my advice would be to do a background check [on your guy]. Tignan niyo ang relationship niya sa ex-girlfriend or ex-wife and you will see if this guy is a douchebag. Kung wala siyang naging kaibigan sa mga ex niya or sa mga dati niyang niligawan or nakadate niya , then he is not the right guy. Dapat walang bitterness from their end. To not be labeled #Paasa and #Pahopia… Hindi ka dapat paasa . Actually baliktad. Kasi… kahit maging ex-girlfriend mo or ex-niligawan mo siya , you want to make sure that you are good friends with them. Wag ka maging paasa, where you flatter the girl, ipapa-expect mo siya, tapos hindi naman talaga. That is so wrong on so many levels.

Last hurrah When a Woman has self-control, and then loses control, but is still in control

I was standing by the bar, bobbing my head to the music, doing that awkward semi-dance everyone does when they’re still too sober. “Last hurrah!” cheered my best friend Kat, as she kept pushing drinks my way. She was the brains behind this bachelorette island getaway, a celebration of my last couple of months as a free woman before getting hitched to Rob. The music got louder, the bar got fuller, and I got drunker. Beside me was my co-worker, Jacob, who also happened to be in Boracay for a kite-surfing competition. As the night wore on and the drinks kept coming, my head bob turned into a full-on floor show, my ass grinding against Jacob’s crotch. It gratified me to feel his bulge straining against his board shorts. “How you doin’ back there?” I asked him over my shoulder, a smirk on my lips. He grabbed my hips, ramming me against his groin. “You know exactly what you’re doing to me,” he growled into my ear. Kat made her way to Jacob, a shot in one hand, a plate of salt and lime in the other. “Let’s see those abs that Ciara won’t shut up about!” she told him. She was too drunk to edit herself. I was too buzzed to care. Jacob gamely took his shirt off, his body glistening with sweat. Kat hooted, clearly impressed, before rubbing salt on his six-pack and thrusting the shot glass at me. “What happens in Boracay” she began. I hesitated, my fiance’s face flashing through my mind. “Come on, C,” said Jacob, pulling me closer. “Last hurrah!” urged Kat. I hesitated for a few seconds, before steeling myself and muttering, “Fuck it.” I placed my hands on Jacob’s hips and slowly traced my tongue down his abs, tasting salt and sweat, the image of Rob fading away. Kat cheered me on as I downed my shot and handed me a lime wedge. “My work here is done,” she declared with a flourish, before heading back behind the bar. Wordlessly, Jacob took my hand and led me through the crowd and out of the bar. “My room?” he asked. I stopped in my tracks, drunk and confused and holding on to the last bit of willpower. “Last hurrah,” he said, repeating Kat’s words. “Come on C, we’ve wanted this for months. I know we’d be so good together.” Maybe all this was just cold feet. Jacob had been after me for about 34 FH M JULY 2016


a year, ever since we started working in the same department. He was always asking me out for coffee, but I always kept him at arm’s length. But when the wedding planning started getting crazy, I found him to be an excellent distraction. We were stationed a few cubicles away from each other, but we would be chatting on our laptops all day long. I loved the kilig. I loved the electricity I felt running between us whenever we were in the same room. I loved the attention; it scared me to think that this was the last bit of attention I would ever get from another man. It’s funny how so many girls want forever, but the prospect of it—of being with one guy forever—was freaking me out. It’s not that I didn’t love Rob. But after being together for years, he didn’t exactly lavish attention on me. When people asked me if he was The One, I would automatically answer, “Of course!” But in the back of my mind, a tiny voice would always whisper, “Is he?” As I was turning all this over in my cloudy head, I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. Hey hon. Hope you’re having a good time. Love you. Goodnight. C?” Jacob squeezed my hand. I glanced up at him from my phone, and he could see the look on my face. He furrowed his brow, and I could feel the heat between us ebb. He sighed heavily. “You know what? Let’s not,” he said. I started to protest weakly, but he cut me off. “I know you. You’re just going to feel guilty about this.” He walked back into the bar. ILLUSTRATION Juno abreu

Boracay Wednesday 8:30pm

Wednesday, 8:30pm Two years later, I’m lying in bed beside Jacob. I smile appreciatively as I look at his perfectly chiseled arms. He’s down for the count after an intense round of fucking—because that’s what sex is when it’s with him. It’s raw and wild and mind-blowing. And “lovemaking” feels like too chaste a word for it. Besides, we’re not in love. My phone vibrates on the nightstand. Hey hon. I’ll be home late. Don’t wait up. I put my phone down and go back under the covers. I wrap my hand around Jacob’s cock and slowly massage it. He opens his eyes and gives me a sleepy smile, as I feel him harden in my hand. He was right about one thing: We are so good together. But he was wrong about another: I feel absolutely no guilt.

On June 11 and 12, the final days of the week-long Manila Major, a $3-million pot DOTA tournament, the 15,000 capacity—MOA Arena was practically full–the only blank seats were isolated diagonal segments with no view of the screens. Outside, scalpers were buying tickets at face value and selling them off for triple the price. If you had no idea what was going on inside, you’d be forgiven for thinking a more traditional sporting event was going on. But maybe in the next few years, e-sports events packing our largest venues may be the norm.

There was no doubt that this was Major happening in Manila and nowhere else. Pinoy hype is now legendary. Internet forums, players, commentators, and media were all in awe of the audience's intensity. We're known for being crazy about basketball, perhaps crazy about DOTA can now be a legit description as well. The stands filled with talk on tactics, heroes, plays, and their favorite teams– everything you would expect from a “real” sports fan. That also meant a crowd that was heavily invested in the competition. Whenever the crowd chanted as

one–"GG!" to call for a team to concede, or the goosebumps moment where everyone stood and cheered "DJ! DJ!" for a countryman's gamewinning performance on a Malaysian team–the volume could easily rival the cheers from a mainstream basketball tournament. But perhaps the one shortcoming of the Major can be seen in the crowd as well. While it wasn't a 100 percent sausage party–yes, female DOTA players exist–the crowd demographic was mostly young males who have no doubt invested hundreds or even thousands of hours into DOTA. Compared to kids and families at Toycon next door, or the oldies gang occupying the patron boxes of the UAAP, it still looks kind of niche-y. However, e-sports is still very young, and if we're able to get this much hatak in its infancy, then we think the Philippines is setting up well for future glory.

still trying to wash away the awful taste of the hot mess spinoff that was The Bourne Legacy (that parts of it were shot in the Philippines doesn’t change the fact that it kind of sucked), worry not, because Greengrass and Damon are once again collaborating in Jason Bourne, the sequel to 2007’s The Bourne Ultimatum . At 45 years old, Damon suddenly fits into the role of the super spy more than ever. Because just like the character, whose skin he’s


had to inhabit over and over again for the last 14 years, they’ve both got a tighter grasp of whom they are and what they’re about. When the first film debuted, he was one of those wideeyed ones-to-watch-out-for, best recognized as Ben Affleck’s bromantic other half. Jason Bourne, the brain-damaged butt-kicking spy, became the vessel for his leading man potential to come to full fruition. Now that both Matt Damon and Jason Bourne are back in the capable hands of director Paul Greengrass, fans of the franchise can only expect what’s familiar: intelligent, adult espionage action. After all, it’s what they do best.

Stop. Look. Listen. Singer-Songwriter and rak of aegiS ’ Lead aCtreSS aiCeLLe SantoS iS about to Start a Show

Do this: grab a dictionary and look for the word ‘diva.’

Diva, n. •refers to a famous and successful woman who is very attractive and fashionable Yes, we got that definition from Merriam-Webster. But as with all semantic changes, the word has evolved to also refer to singer-celebrities infamous for their prima donna attitude. Demanding. Two-faced. Hindi ma-reach. You know, pa-diva . And we hate people like that. But singer-songwriter Aicelle Santos breaks the very essence of that wrong connotation. Sure, Aicelle has had her fair share of ‘diva’ moments, starting her career in show business by winning a singing competition and making it to the top noontime shows as a resident songstress. But today, she’s able to show another side of her as Eat Bulaga!’s Traffic Diva. “That stint had me running in the streets and coming up to strangers,” shares Aicelle. “Getting that job came with a lot of surprises. I didn’t

expect to do impromptu sing-alongs with pedestrians and people on the road. The spontaneity of it all is unforgettable.” Was it difficult to do? Aicelle says, “Not really. Every Pinoy loves karaoke!” She had no glamorous get-up, no teleprompters, no rehearsals. It was all raw, and it was all fun. We like that. Aicelle also dabbles in theater acting. Right now, she’s back in the comic musical Rak of Aegis as Eileen, a character who, she says, doesn’t require much effort for her to portray. “Eileen is just Aicelle, too. Whatever perkiness you see onstage when I do Rak , it’s me,” she shares. Right now you may assume that this girl can put on any hat that’s asked of her. But Aicelle admits she still gets the jitters. “I still get stage fright, of course. Siguro mas magaling na lang ako mag-handle ngayon,” she says. Aicelle recently went through surgery on her inflamed vocal chords after doing over a hundred live shows for Rak . “That was really tough for me. I was not able to sing nor speak. Not even a whisper!” says Aicelle. “But now that I’m healed, I’ve discovered a different passion and respect for what I do. It only gets better from here. I’m back and am ready to rak !”

Pulse Ah, Star Trek . A show that helped make sci-fi digestible, compelling its legions of fans to be the first to save a TV series from cancellation, and popularizing the practice of online fanfiction pairings—yup, waaay before that #RP69 trend—with the SpockKirk movement. As a fan of Trek in its various incarnations, and a member of the Star Trek Philippines U.S.S. Kalayaan (Google it, noob!), I say that the recent movies still hold much of what made Trekkies first fall for the series—characters with moral dilemmas on power, technology and politics. It’s obvious, especially in 2013’s Into Darkness, whose plot draws parallelisms with the U.S. war on terror. Similarly, the Cold War, with its long, fearful waiting game, echoed the reality of 9/11 in an interconnected world that needs something to happen constantly for it to warrant attention. All this happens while we get that untold backstory of how the crew from the original series became the characters that we know and love. This structure of a time-travel reboot has proven to be so successful that other movie franchises, such as X-Men and Terminator, have begun following the formula. This year marks 50 years since the Star Trek franchise began. The new movie is out this month and Trek is set to return to the small screen next year. Buckle up, Trekkies. We’re about to go beyond the final frontier.

This basketball-crazy nation will do its part by rooting like crazy– and praying hardest–when the tournament comes. And the boys will deliver. Because one trait that Baldwin has in him is that he will work his butt off getting the team as prepared as it can be; he will coach with all that he has, game in and out. Sometimes, that could be enough to get a team through tremendous odds.

B I NG LEAV fo r

G R E EC E last month to begin Gilas Pilipinas’ training camp for the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament, Thomas Anthony “Tab” Baldwin was in a familiar place: a basketball court. Instead of the usual last-minute packing of bags, he was on a basketball court attending a coaching clinic for kids. This man obviously loves basketball. And as fate would have it, Baldwin found himself in a country that lives and breathes basketball. It is this same man who will be leading Gilas Pilipinas’ bid to achieve what basketball-loving Filipino fans have long been waiting for: seeing the national team play in the Olympics. The 58-year-old Baldwin’s basketball-coaching resumè began long before he landed a job in the Philippines. An American with a New Zealand lineage, Baldwin coached one of the local ball clubs in New Zealand, the Hawke’s Bay Hawks. He went on to be the head coach of the New Zealand men’s national basketball team, the Tall Blacks. The rest of the world began to notice Baldwin when New Zealand made it to the 2002 FIBA World Championship. After several stints with the Lebanon and Jordan national squads, Baldwin was hired as a consultant for Gilas Pilipinas for their bid in the 2013 FIBA Asia Championship in Manila. The national squad finished second to book a seat at the 2014 FIBA World Cup, the first time the Philippines played in the prestigious tournament since 1978. Baldwin has since settled in the Philippines after being named head coach of Gilas Pilipinas in 2015. It was the same year when Gilas took second place in the FIBA Asia Championship after bowing to China in the finals. On the side, Baldwin is also a consultant for Talk ‘N Text in the PBA, and the head coach of the Ateneo Blue Eagles in the UAAP. Ultimately, however, Filipinos understand that Baldwin came over for one main task: to break the drought. Despite the country’s passion for basketball, the Philippines has yet to qualify for the Olympics since 1972. This month, the Philippines will try to book a ticket to Rio as the beloved Gilas Pilipinas competes in the FIBA Olympic Qualifying Tournament. 52 FH M JULY 2016

It’s crunch time. How much work do you still need to do in terms of Gilas’ traning? There’s still a lot of work to be done because of the tight timeframe, not only for [Gilas], but also for the other teams. Most of the pro leagues in Europe [finished] early June. Which makes the preparation time for all teams very short. Coaches want to get training camps and competitive games. But because [time] was so condensed, it was sort of difficult. Butch (Antonio, Gilas team manager) did a great job [getting us into] this camp in Greece. We are very fortunate. We played Iran based on the relationship I have with their coach.



fhmphilofficial

If you could have your own way, how much more time would you spend in preparation? If Gilas could be together for another month or two, I’m sure we would be better. But it is what it is and we are making the best of it. We are all very focused on being successful. There is only one thing that means success in this tournament, and it’s winning it, getting the gold, and going to Rio. We could fail but still play really well. I don’t think we can succeed, while not playing well. We have to play way above our heads to succeed but that is not outside the realm of possibility. And that’s what we really have to strive to do.

Coach Tab means business on the court, training the Gilas Pilipinas pool at least 15 hours a week

Were you aware of the passion Filipinos have for basketball even before coming here? I knew from anecdotal evidence that the Philippines has always been a basketball country. But I didn’t know how that would manifest itself until I saw the big crowds. I didn’t know there are modern stadiums like the MOA Arena, the Philippine Arena, and even Araneta Coliseum, which is an old stadium but still a big, nice one. In what circumstances did you accept the offer to become the head coach of Gilas Pilipinas? There was a part of me that was excited because I had grown to understand the Philippine basketball landscape; how popular it is and how people have a huge passion for the national team. I recognize that there are pitfalls and political issues but the thing that made me secure with the position is because of boss MVP [Manny V. Pangilinan] and his passion for the game and the support that he gives to the game. Within that framework, I was excited, yet I knew the challenge would be great. How much different is it coaching the Ateneo team from coaching Gilas? It’s dramatically different. [With the Blue Eagles], there is a lot more teaching; you have to spend a lot of time in detail which can be tiring. It’s intensive work, but I enjoy it. I know what the fans want and it is to win the championships. But my job as coach of Ateneo is to develop players and to help them reach their goals and their aspirations. I believe that if you do that well, things like championships will take care of themselves. That’s my philosophy. How would you describe your athletic career? I really was a guy that was into a lot of sports—I played a lot of recreational softball, volleyball, golf, ping pong, tennis, I enjoyed water sports, I swam a little bit. I still play golf. But really, basketball was my competitive sport. And I had dreams when I was a kid like most kids do, but those dreams www.fhm.com.ph

took me [only] as far as high school. During high school, my dad was a basketball coach and he was pretty adamant that I have no playing future in the sport. [I was] too short, too slow. He strongly encouraged me to pursue academic university experience. I went to University of Notre Dame, played intramural basketball and football, but that isn’t exactly an athletic career. Was your dad the one who inspired you to take up coaching instead? My dad was a lot of things. He was my inspiration, my idol, my nemesis at times in terms of me wanting to do things I wanted to do. He is such a strong disciplinarian and throughout my youth, he was a powerful influence in my life; he dictated the decisions I made. My dad’s word was law. But he did what he thought was best for me. I never doubted his love. Up until I was probably 25 years old, I followed what he said. The first real break from my dad was getting into coaching, which I did aspire to partly because of him; but I did it against his wishes. There was a real fight over that in the house, but in the end, he supported me. Without his support, I don’t think I could have been as successful as I’ve been. We hear you are a big baseball fan, as well. No, I’m a diehard [Boston] Red Sox fan. My passion for the Red Sox goes back to my early childhood. I couldn’t tell you Coach Tab on taking Gilas to Rio: “I hope that we do the job representing [the Filipinos] the way they want us to do, the way that why will be proud of us...”

why I was a Red Sox fan [if I wanted to]. Maybe because I’m a [Boston] Celtics fan as well. [The Red Sox] is the only sporting thing in the world other than the one I coach that I can refer to as ‘we’ because I feel such affinity for that team. You obviously have a packed schedule. But have you found time to go around the Philippines? Not nearly enough. It’s something that I definitely want to do more with my family. I want to tell my friends all around the world [about] the neat things that we are going to see in the Philippines. Being a person that loves beaches, I’m used to hot weather. Growing up in that environment in Florida, this [climate] is excellent for me. It’s just that I don’t get the opportunity to get out of Manila and see all the places. But my wife and I are looking forward to spending a lot of time on beaches all over the Philippines. I like Baler because of the waves, and because I like to surf. Baler is more like the home where I come from. Anywhere you can go where you can relax in warm weather and warm water—and swim—that’s paradise. How do you like Filipino food? Food is very good. Southeast Asian food is generally good. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines. But Filipino food [is also good] because it’s spicy, and there is a lot of meat. Some of the vegetables, I find interesting, but the fruits are amazing. That’s something about our family: we love fruits. What would you say to Filipino basketball fans? I hope that we thrill them and entertain them. I hope that we give them a reason to smile particularly the morning of July 11th. More important than that, I hope that we do the job of representing them the way they want us to…If we can achieve that, irrespective of our results, then I think we could hold our heads up. I guess that’s the dream. To know that the people supporting you continue to believe in you because of the work that you’ve done. FH M JULY 2016 FH M 53

is for Rhian, and the signature of her performances, which is strength in vulnerability. Like one of the pivotal scenes in her lesbian-comes-of-age soap, The Rich Man’s Daughter, where she plays Jade Tanchingco, willful but overprotected, the only daughter of a wealthy Chinese clan, uber-traditional, and unwelcoming of fringe views. Jade becomes infatuated and falls for the mestiza and doe-eyed Althea (Glaiza de Castro), self-made and sure of herself, if still hesitant, like Jade, of her newfound desires for someone on the same gender fence. The scene: inside the restroom where Jade has gone to collect herself. She’s just about to exit but spots Althea washing up and checking her face in the mirror. Jade is forced to wait and confront her hesitation, unwilling to unchain her emotions and yet yearning to engage by simply opening her bathroom stall. Everything could change; nothing might change. The conflict, the emotions that play on her face is a treasure. It is precious in not knowing what it wants to be. “I agree that vulnerability is a strength,” says Rhian. “And I will be the first to admit that I was bad when I started all this [acting]. But now that I’ve gotten some depth in [performing] it is where I set free all the things I can’t be and I can’t do. Acting to me is freedom. Every second between the words ‘action’ and ‘cut’ is freedom. If you’ve ever fallen for someone, but you’re with somebody else? That’s how it feels. You can’t act upon that in the real world, but you can in movies. All the bad, all the forbidden, all the taboo things I wish I could do I put in acting.” It’s the kind of honesty and oncam willingness to be uncomfortable that has feted her with nominations for many of her roles, including one for 2012’s FAMAS Best Actress for The Road. And to be honest, it’s also primarily what clocked her into the

FHM 100 Sexiest list–the waif with curves, the dream girl who could be vixen and sweetheart if you only played your cards right, with a gaze so dusky the twilight would be jealous. Now she's on the cover, incandescent beside a body of water that sits inside the territory of a French chateau, medieval and brutish, frolicking among the tall grass and blooms, comely and dangerous as a fey creature. You can drown in her eyes, or behold her form riveted in place. You don’t gaze at Rhian—she holds your eye and throws back your adoration. Mirror upon mirror in the wilderness. And it was all because of an amazing bikini photo she herself posted last March. God bless you, Instagram.

“Not that I needed permission from the biebs but im hella game to love myself,” Rhian wrote on her IG post. “A lot of people were making fun of my [flat] butt,” she says about the post that harvested more than 13,000 likes and over 500 comments about her frankly amazing derriere. “For the longest time almost everybody was telling me: do some squats, go exercise! Because I hadn’t done a single squat in a year, that was what drove me to post that photo where my butt was hanging out. And I was all ‘take that!’ “But it backfired because the reaction was apparently: they think I do have a butt. It’s annoying! It’s confusing! Because that’s not how I intended it. It looked like I was the one who gave in, that, ‘hey look she took our advice and did, like, a gazillion squats.’ I had a kind of epiphany after those reactions: you know what? It really doesn’t matter what anyone’s opinion of your body is. It’s really up to you what you want to look like and whatever that is, it's okay.”

Incidentally, she also said yes because FHM has transformed its design and content ethos. “I finally said yes because of the change of audience and the change in content,” she says. ”Because of that I now don’t feel shy to put my body in a magazine that is read by, what I would say, the kind of readers that I now want to reach out to.” Who owns women’s bodies? For Rhian, taking ownership of her body has obviously been empowering, the right track for evolution. In 2013 she got a tattoo from the famous Kalinga tattoo artist Fang-Od, using the traditional “batok” method with pomelo tree thorn and bamboo; extremely painful with ecstatic bursts in between is how those who’ve gone through the process describe it. “In my industry it’s very normal for people to nitpick on the smallest physical flaws like, say, Megan Fox’s tongue, when she’s super hot! Who gives a crap?,” Rhian says, shaking her head. “When you’re young you tend to listen more to the people around you with regard to your body. Now that I’m older I’ve started to just listen to myself. For the longest time people had so many opinions about my body and I would read that, and they would affect me deeply. They made me feel like I would never want to be in front of anyone anymore.” In Ifugao culture, girls would ritually receive tattoos as they entered womanhood, while men would get new ones as they piled on achievements. The Scorpion and the Hawk, the animals that now adorn Rhian’s right upper thigh are now her symbols of womanhood, the sigils of her feral nature leashed and ready to be tapped when needed. They are a means of control, tools for argument and negotiation with the world. “I’ve realized that, even if you follow somebody else’s advice on what you should look like, then you’ll have to look in the mirror every day and be sad because everyone else wins and you lose.”

Rhian Denise Ramos Howell was born of a British regional manager for an American company, Gareth Howell, and Filipina Clara Ramos. We first saw her in 2006’s Captain Barbell as a teenage hottie, the apple of Teng’s eye. Since then she’s done everything from showbiz news to soaps and horror movies. She’s grown up in front of our eyes on sprawling celluloid or TV; become an entrepreneur with her friends (craft beer Pedro); took up fashion design and made a name for herself as a fashion blogista on Skilleto (see http://skilleto.com/author/ whianwamos) or, what the kids these days term an influencer. R is for Rhian and the calculated risks she takes. How far has she come? Sometimes it’s measured in literally stratospheric proportions. Recently she parachuted out of a plane in Australia. It was a tandem jump, to be sure, but the experience did connect Rhian closer to God. And the clouds.

“It was one heck of a freefall, that’s for sure,” she narrates. “As we sat on the edge of the plane I looked down and I really choked, my mouth went dry, and I didn’t know if I could catch my breath! Have you ever looked down on 18,000 feet? You could cry but you don’t have saliva or tears. Then your guy pushes you off the edge and that’s that. So as we were falling I was like: God, what does a cloud feel like?” Rhian makes a sound between a burp and a whistle, illustrating a cloud hitting her face. “Oh, that’s what. Thanks, God! That was really beautiful.” She’s also really into cars and driving them fast. Which is why she just got sponsored by a petroleum company because she did monthly Mini-Cooper races. Last year she won second place overall in the 1275 engine category. “Which is why this year I’m really gunning for first place.” Also why she’s hosting a motoring show called Full Throttle on the History Channel alongside radio jock Sam YG, where she claims she gets to unleash her need for speed and exercise a fair bit of the traditional racer activity of trash talk.

“I’ve found that a nice way of trash talking people is just to go near their cars and be like ‘ganda ng auto mo, ah! It would be a shame if anything happened to it.’ But I’m actually quite a scaredy cat when it comes to road driving.” Recently she replaced Iya Villania on GMA’s food magazine show Taste Buddies. The show offers up food features and trips about the different facets of Filipino modern life and cuisine. But really, Rhian felt that she wanted to be in the show because it would mean “all of my cheat days now are for work! Also I get to hang out with Solenn Heussaff, who’s one of the coolest people in Philippine showbiz.” But what she’s really proud of is bagging the lead role of Clara in the TV remake of Sinungaling Mong Puso, off the 1992 movie by Maryo J. De Los Reyes, where Vilma Santos originally had the same character that Rhian now plays.

“I haven’t done an afternoon show in a really really long while,” she says, since she’s been on primetime evening shows for a few years now. "This is the first time in a really long while that I can be in front of a mostly women audience. This is the demographic that loves the melodrama, the acting, and the approach that needs to be over the top.” She continues: “In the 1992 movie Gabby Concepcion is Vilma’s husband and he doesn’t really treat her well, so she turns to someone younger for comfort. Now that I’m playing Vilma’s character I realize that’s really far from me in real life, I don’t usually go for people younger than me but in the story Vilma turns to Aga because he treats her right.”

That soap opera should debut just as this issue hits the stands. R is for ravishing and how, as Rhian’s gotten older and grasped more of her sexuality in her capable, confident hands, it has been our boon and reward. “I would definitely say I’m much more comfortable in my body now,” she explains. “See, I don’t like the word ‘feminist’, I think it’s too… feminine. To be one is to want equality but the term itself is a little too much in favor of women.” As a corollary, let those who would play with a reckless streak, with the feral, and the ardently radical beware the tooth and claw, the call to injury of any who are drawn to the sensual and dangerous. Remember Rhian’s ink and their warning: the scorpion and the hawk, they are of beauty crafted but are made brutes with such weapons. Relentlessly. We are left, then, to roll our Rs in praise. FH M

I

’ve always wanted to write about my depression but have just never really figured out why people would want to read my story. in a generation with so many people wanting to express themselves in different, new, and exciting ways, what makes my story so special and worth spending precious time on? can you believe i go through these questions each time i start writing something? no wonder i have anxiety. i’ve always wondered how i could differentiate myself from the flock of wattpad writers and the copycats of Marcelo santos iii, the king of cringe-worthy hugot memes, who have sold their souls to the demons of hugot and relatability in exchange for viral readership. i know i didn’t want to write in a mainstream kind of way, masyado akong pretentious for that shit. so i reflected on what i could do to be somewhat relatable but still keep my pretentious roots intact, and for some reason, i chose to get depressed. i know what you’re thinking, “oh, a depressed writer! How… uhm, cliché.” exactly. but only a few writers—no, only a few people— can say that they chose their depression to further their art! parang modern-day Van gogh! i confided to a friend my depression and this is what i got: “it’s kind of comforting to know that some people are more fucked up in the head than i am.” i was different. My way of handling depression was different from his (and, with my conceit, yours, too). i wasn't whiny. i wasn't papansin. i wasn't inconsiderate. i didn't tell people they were fucked up, when all they needed to hear was "it’s okay." i always liked to think that i was living life with a handicap and that it was harder compared with other people’s lives and that i handled things better. i wanted to be better. it just made me feel that my accomplishments were always a little more awesome and my victories were well-deserved; though looking back, i would probably call myself tanga rather than fucked-up. you can’t really choose to have depression. some people are born with the inclination to be depressed, sadyang malas; develop depression through traumatic experiences, minalas; and/ or just have different psychological issues that manifest themselves through extended periods of sadness, nagpapamalas. My psychiatrist thinks i’m kind of a mix of them all. i wasn’t diagnosed with clinical depression till after i told my parents about it after an emotional exchange with them a couple of years ago. i was 21. i can't really recall what it was about.

writing in that state just felt so right even though i knew that it was wrong. i wrote really funny shit during those times. weirdly enough, feeling sad all the time brings out the funny, nihilistic side of people–feeling joseph grimaldi, the clown that couldn’t make himself laugh, the perfect ironic martyr. as you guys can probably tell, i love romanticizing things that happen to me. Forming insights and looking for new sources of inspiration come naturally because i believe that a writer makes the most out of the things he/she experiences, more so than any other profession, because he/she can make others go through what he/she felt if they get to read his/her work. and being the smartass, instead of using this for positive personal growth, i used it to justify wanting to “experience” stupid shit.

FA L L I N g O v E R and i did a lot of stupid shit. Mostly stupid shit that left me empty inside. by empty, i mean not being tormented with really sad thoughts 24/7, thinking how and when the perfect time would be to kill yourself so that more people would attend your funeral and say, “sayang siya.” i used to think it would be best to kill myself on a thursday so it’ll stop everyone from working the next day. because, really, who wants to work on a Friday? they’ll have a weekend to set up a really cool funeral for me. also, it would probably be because of od-ing on some illegal substance that wouldn’t really affect the way i looked on the outside so people would get to remember me as my semi-gwapo self. whenever i was in bed with a stranger, the

after-sex high would numb these thoughts filling my head. the stupid shit i did made everything feel okay for a while. i tried to od on my happy pills once. people from work had to carry me to the hospital. i knew i wasn’t going to die though i nearly fell down the stairs. Most depressed people don’t really want to die; they just want everything to stop. Most people i’ve talked to never really quite understood what i was going through, which wasn’t really their fault. talks on depression in mainstream media are still a taboo topic even though it shouldn’t be. it’s already recognized as an actual illness and not a “pagiinarte” as some people would put it.

A NEW PE R S PECTIvE

to live with depression in a way that it doesn’t cripple you requires a paradigm shift. you can ask a depressed person to not be sad all you want, but that won’t really do any good. writing used to fuel my anxiety and vice-versa. “why didn’t you just stop then?” you ask? i couldn’t. writing just fits so perfectly in the endless cycle of destruction that was my life. i used to write and feel like it wasn’t my best and get depressed; then i would write more. i’d eventually get better but still wouldn’t think it was enough. i would keep writing and writing, pushing my depression to its limit to hopefully keep getting better—and as stupid as it sounds, it worked. gETTINg HELP though if i hadn’t gone through the stupid shit, things wouldn’t have turned out the way i wanted to get better but just not right at that they did for me now. moment. i mean, i still had some writing to do. i wouldn’t be alive if i hadn’t taken a i could get better any time i wanted, maybe. philosophy minor in college. i was able to Most people my age mostly went on their own analyze my thoughts based on how philosophers accord. i, on the other hand, had to be forced interpreted the absurdities occuring in my life. by my parents (told you i was special). our gabriel Marcel, a French christian existentialist early meetings were mostly comprised of me philosopher (which means that he found god, asking questions about other people to see how and now he’ll never shut up about it), helped similar our cases were. i wanted to know if i was me get through the darkest times. with his normal crazy or on a different level of cray cray. philosophy of hope that, until after much My psychiatrist, dr. ryan rabago, explained to reading, i still have trouble understanding. me that the drugs he gave weren’t going to cure one aspect of his my depression; rather it philosophy that really was to help me feel more perplexed me was “letting relaxed so i could talk go.” not because the more during sessions.

That is Paul Biteng’s ringback tone. The kid is alright, but he’s got a sick sense of humor. For a while there, we thought it was real. The kid having done what he did, we’d have believed every word of the stupid ringback. In April, Paul Biteng, 20, was on national news when he was arrested for hacking the Comelec website. Hacked government websites are not new, but Paul’s timing was impeccable: he did it with a little more than a month to go before the 2016 presidential elections, just as the Comelec was at a critical juncture preparing for the automated polls. The government agency said their system was secure; not long after, data on 55 million voters—including passport details and fingerprints—was leaked on the web. Some news reports claimed it was the “biggest government-related data breach in history.” A 20-year-old did that, and that was our story. After almost a month of looking, FHM tracked down Paul, now out on bail, through a fellow hacker. Following a series of text messages and a few phone calls (with the first one pranking us good), he agreed to meet in a mall somewhere in Manila. At the meet-up point, it felt like a Ludlum thriller. We were to rendezvous with PhantomHacker Khalifa, responsible for the biggest government security data breach in

history. Fifteen minutes of standing around in the mall, three security guards had placed themselves at strategic points with direct lines of sight to us, them communicating on their radios. Our photographer was carrying a backpack; we figured they thought we looked suspicious. Maybe we were. Then Paul arrived. He was sipping on Starbucks and had on a V for Vendetta t-shirt. His hair was wiry and he had plugs for earrings. He was lanky, about 5’5”, and he had this silly grin on his face. He didn’t look like he had graduated from high school yet. He was with a girl—not his girlfriend, he said—who looked even younger. “Kanina pa kayo? Sinamahan ko lang kasi siya, may binili lang,” Paul said apologetically. We agreed to do the interview at a bar two streets down from the mall. We asked him if he was allowed in the place; the girl knew the place and said he could go in, besides he had his ID with him. Suddenly, it didn’t feel like Ludlum anymore. It felt like we were going to play DotA.

help of family, friends, and fellow hackers,” Paul says. He recalls he was outside their house, smoking a cigarette, when the NBI picked him up. It had only been a couple of weeks since he graduated from Perpetual Help College in Manila. By his account, Paul wasn’t what you would consider a “master” in the hacking community, as the reports made him out to be. “Sa school kasi nanggaling yan. Hindi naman sa masipag…oo, masipag magbasa ng codes, basta programming, interesado ako. So madali ako makatapos ng mga activity, kaya tinawag ako ng mga kaklase ko na “master.” Pero sa [hacker community] hindi nila ako tinatawag na ganyan.” It has been determined that although Paul hacked the Comelec website, he didn’t leak the information on the web—two other hackers who got his codes in their community forum did that. “Sinasabi kasi nila [Comelec] secured, so tinest ko kung mabubutas—yun ang term namin dun, butasin para makapasok. May nakita ako, so nireport ko [sa Comelec]. Kaso hindi sila nagreply,” Paul says. Here is how Paul may have done it, from a geek perspective, according to two IT experts— Pierre Tito Galla, a consulting ICT

www.fhm.com.ph

expert for various government institutions like the Senate and Congress, the National Telecommunications Commission, and the Philippine National Police; and Marie Ricana, who has held IT admin and director positions at various government and private companies: “Biteng may have exploited an existing vulnerability/set of vulnerabilities in the website. Likely, the vulnerabilities existed because the patching and security updates of the website were not done faithfully, in a timely manner, and with a sense of urgency,” Galla explains. Ricana speculates Biteng did an SQL injection via Voter's Registration Status Verification/Precinct Finder. “The reason why I thought [he did it] through the Precinct finder is because, 1) Using an open text box form is an easy and careless way of doing searches, especially if you don’t take the necessary precautions; 2) [The Precinct finder] has a direct access to [Comelec’s] voters’ database (which is the database that was actually stolen); and 3) Of all the services in the Comelec website, it was the first to be removed from the site.” This was a pretty easy job to do, too, say Ricana and Galla. “On a scale of 1 to 5 [on the difficulty scale], it’s probably a 1,” says Galla. “Scripts that do these things can be copy-pasted from so many places, and they aren't all in the dark web.” Ricana agrees: “If indeed the hacking was done via SQL injection, then that means what [Comelec] did was lacking in terms of coding. With someone who has the tech knowledge and malicious intent, it would have been easy to do it.” So apparently, it doesn’t take much to hack Comelec’s website—it could have been done by a local hacker who had just graduated from school. Recina enumerates the necessary skills to hack: “The hackers need competencies in the most common programming languages, especially those that are used to program websites and web apps (eg. PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, Visual Basic). Competencies in navigating web servers (which are more often than not, run in Linux).” Galli is more succinct: “They need the ability to search for reading material on vulnerabilities, search for scripts, and replicate them. In other words, Google and cut and paste.”

friends. That is all that Paul can recall. High school was at Ramon Magsaysay. “Yun, wala rin! Tamad lang talaga akong magaral. Tapos wala na ring sports, eskwela-bahay na lang lagi. Nag-DotA rin ako, pero sa shop lang na malapit sa amin.” When he was in second year high school, his family bought a computer set for cheap. Soon after, they had internet connection. “Una, Facebook lang tsaka laro. Hanggang nag-part time ako sa pagdedevelop ng Ragnarok.” First he played the game, then learned it well enough to know how to customize the settings of the game on private servers for which some players were willing to pay to be able to play. It sounds like a technological leap for a kid, but Paul says he had been into computers since he was three. For him it was easy, and he showed his aptitude for coding when he began college as an IT student. It was also in college that he found hacking to be a cool thing. “Gusto kong gayahin yung The Matrix,” Paul says. Just as fast as he learned how to hack and had met fellow hackers on social media, he had begun to earn money spotting weaknesses in websites in what is called a Bug Bounty Program. “Ito yung pag nakakita ka ng bug, irereport mo dun sa site, tapos babayaran ka nila. Yung dun sa Facebook, binayan nila ako ng $1500 (or about P69,450 at the exchange rate as we write this). Minus tax na $450, bale $1150 ang nakuha ko. Nakapagbayad ako ng tuition at nakabili ako ng motor. Alam ng mga

magulang ko yung ginagawa ko, nagsasabi naman ako,” Paul says. “Are you famous in the hacking community?” “Hindi naman ako sikat, kilala lang ako na magaling magbutas. Yung website niyo butas.” “Binutas mo?” “Oo. Pero hindi ako nakapasok. May butas lang siya, pwede akong mag-extract ng data—usernames, passwords. Yun ang mga dapat protektahan. Pero hindi ko ginawa kasi hanggang dun lang ang limit ko, yun lang ang kaya ko. “Hindi mo kinuha yung data. Pero kaya mo?” “Siguro kung pinagpaguran ko, kasi parang dinaanan ko lang. “So nandun ka, bored ka, kaya hinack mo yung website namin.” “Oo.” (laughs) He swears he didn’t steal pictures.

Jail

Should we send him to prison? De La Salle University law professor and litigation lawyer Andre de Jesus, founding partner at Esguerra Dy de Jesus Chico Law says Paul broke two similar laws: the E-Commerce Law or Republic Act 8792 (which regulates computer interaction in the country) and the controversial Cybercrime Prevention Act (which criminalizes several online activities such as cybersquatting, libel, and access to data without right). “[Biteng] can be prosecuted for different counts based on different provisions of each law,” says Atty. de Jesus. “He can be prosecuted for hacking, for the fact that he accessed the Comelec website without right. He can also be prosecuted separately for computer-related identity theft. This last one means you intentionally acquire, use, misuse, transfer, possess, alter, or delete the identifying information of another without right. I think these are the offenses that were committed by Paul Biteng.” For all these violations, Biteng may be slapped with fines and imprisonment. The E-Commerce Act imposes “a minimum fine of P100,000 to a maximum amount commensurate to the damage incurred,” says de Jesus. “There is also imprisonment from a minimum of six months to a maximum of three years. For violating the Cybercrime Prevention Act, Biteng may be imprisoned for at least six years and imposed with a fine of at least P200,000.” There’s more. Biteng could also be charged with illegal access against a critical infrastructure. De Jesus explains: “Critical infrastructure [refers to] computer systems, programs, traffic data so vital to our country that the interference with, the destruction of, or the tampering of these data or assets will have a debilitating effect on national or economic security, national public health and safety or a combination of all those.” If prosecutors can prove that the Comelec website is critical infrastructure, Biteng could be imprisoned for 12 to 20 years and/or slapped with a minimum fine of P500,000.

“Maybe some sort of reduction of his prison sentence (which does not exist yet) could be extended to him,” says de Jesus. “But I think we should send a message that crime must be punished. Otherwise, we’d be incentivizing the wrong actions in our government. Simply put, Biteng committed a crime and he must be held responsible for it, whether or not his punishment is reduced.”

“On behalf of over a billion users, we would like to thank the following people for making a responsible disclosure to us,” says Facebook on its White Hat page, last updated on May 14, 2016. It cited Biteng among a handful of other “white hat” hackers for helping them by reporting weaknesses in their system in 2014. Microsoft, on its website, also gave Biteng recognition as one of its June 2014 Security Researchers. “The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) is pleased to recognize the security researchers who have helped make Microsoft online services safer by finding and reporting security vulnerabilities,” the company said. “Each name listed represents an individual or company who has privately disclosed one or more security vulnerabilities in our online services and worked with us to remediate the issue.” Leo Nocom, a senior web developer at a multinational IT firm based in Makati, agrees that the government should not let Biteng’s talents go to waste. “He can work initially as a Quality Assurance

He’d then be the one to report them to web developers and help them find a fix.” According to salary survey site Payscale, a certified ethical hacker (CEH) could earn anywhere between $49,330 and $133,869 annually, or about P189,098 to P513,165 monthly. If Paul is acquitted and taken in by an IT or tech firm, he will join the likes of Nicholas Allegra, who Apple got as an intern after he created a website that allowed users to jailbreak their devices and run unauthorized software; and Jeff Moss, who once ran an underground online community for hackers and is now a consultant for the US Homeland Security Advisory Council. There’s another option. “The most effective whistle blowers, in general, are those who are not on the periphery but come from within the anomalies that are being exposed,” says de Jesus. “If the rumors are true that Biteng is, in fact, a member of Anonymous Philippines, [hiring Biteng] might not just be able to improve the cyber security system of the Philippines but also somehow temper the propensity of Anonymous to just deface [websites] without any real purpose.” Clifford Trigo (hackerone.com/ cliffordtrigo), a security researcher and second in HackerOne’s overall hacker list, has been an online friend of Paul Biteng’s for three years now—but they have met only once in person.

when microbreweries and craft beers first made their way to the philippines, they presented an alternative to binge drinking pretty much the same thing. at the same time, this new industry also posed a certain dilemma: the economic kind. case in point: the first craft beers had the price of hard liquor. and in a country where getting drunk is somewhat deemed a luxury, people get more alcoholic fulfillment chugging three bottles of the local brand than trying out and sipping one of the expensive ales. although in reality, this type of beer could come at a low price, if not for free. proof of which is a growing circle of local beer connoisseurs that has been pushing for cheap, flavorful beer through a decade-old industry. most of them coming from overseas, home brewers have been at it for years now and are actually encouraging more people to get into the venture. this not only adds to brewed options, but also creates competition, which translates to lower craft beer costs. for the brewers themselves, the brotherhood united by a common passion flourishes and that means more good beer for everyone. with the help of retired us marine and beer distributor louis wright, fhm had the chance to talk to four of these guys, who let us into their lives as home brewers.

It was a large-scale commercial light fizzy lager, and I remembered absolutely hating it,” recalls James of his first brew. In his 20s, he discovered new beer flavors, transforming his indifference to passion for home brewing. Using “crappy” ingredients and a used beer kit from Craigslist, James came up with his first brew, which according to him had a “strange green apple-ish” taste. Practice indeed made perfect as James is now able to brew beers that genuinely taste great—just ask the people around him. “Sharing my homebrew with friends and seeing their faces light up with surprise keep me going in the hobby,” he shares. “And it certainly feels more gratifying than sitting at your laptop all day doing sedentary work or mindlessly browsing Facebook.” Asked if there is such a thing as a perfect brew, James explains: “There is for the moment. No single beer will always be the best one for all situations, but there are moments when the beer in your hand is the best you could imagine for that moment, and it’s an amazing feeling. You wouldn’t trade it for any other!”

A trip to Europe, where he was introduced to a very wide range of beer choices, piqued Lee’s interest to add to the current beer selection here in the country. “In Europe, a single pub can have 10 different taps of different beers,” says Lee. Like many others, the Internet was his takeoff point. The casual online browse on the topic—Google and YouTube—snowballed to a more extensive research about beer styles, malts and hops, even traditions. Next thing Lee knew, he was buying ingredients and equipment from a homebrew store in Singapore. Lee isn’t shy in describing his first brew in 2012 as “awful.” “It was so bad that I didn’t let anyone drink its,” he says. Now, he is confident enough with brewing techniques that all he has to bear are the brief spells of waiting.” While Lee isn’t discounting the possibility of getting in the home-brewed beer business, he has high regard for the craft. “I don’t want to generalize, but some may sacrifice creativity for the sake of making sales. They think of what would sell to the people rather than what they really want to do. Home brewing is all about making and sharing beer, experimentation and self-expression.”

www.fhm.com.ph

Before moving to the Philippines, Mario had already dabbled in home brewing in the US, hoping to make beer on par with those from the microbreweries and brewpubs he frequented—only cheaper. “Actually it wasn’t any cheaper, but it was more fun,” Mario says. When he decided to live in the Philippines, Mario knew he had to start from scratch—like going all-grain—and sometimes improvise with the dearth of apparatus and supplies. His background as a microbiologist proved valuable. With his experience and aptitude in home brewing, Mario could easily jump into the business side of things and introduce his beers to the consuming public, but he chooses not to. “I consider my homebrew to be the most expensive beer I can drink,” he says. “Since it takes me about eight to 10 hours during a typical brew day, followed by a week or two of manually controlling the temperature of the fermentation with frozen water bottles, then two to four hours bottling or kegging my beer—that is a lot of time that I have to arrange with my busy and tiring schedule. And that is why I feel my beer is precious and should only be given to those who will appreciate it.”


While he thinks there is no perfect brew as the process is essentially an “art,” Peppo believes consistency can be achieved given that it is also a “science.” A balikbayan box from the US in 2009 containing beer kits got him started with craft brewing. Peppo recalls: “We brewed a pale ale then, using liquid extract and DME (dry malt extract). My brother and I were so nervous the following day when fermentation was at its kräusen (meaning), spitting out beer foam all over the floor.” Being based in Iligan City, where he says life is so simple that people “don’t have the need nor want for modern gastronomic indulgence,” was also a factor in his decision to craft his own beer. “I just wanted to brew and share it to people and friends here so that they will be educated on craft beers.” Who would’ve thought a birthday gift in 2008 from his Dutch friend—a beer deck explaining its various categories—would become a source of fulfillment for Peppo every time he makes a successful batch. “From that day on, brewing has become a part of my life, maybe even when I become old and cannot drink beer anymore,” he says. “It’s an infinite quest for knowledge, to brew beers beyond perfection and to innovate and create other possibilities that have never been explored before, using all the ingredients imaginable.”

utting together the 100 Sexiest issue involves a lot of grinding away at FHM HQ, so we decided to get a little help this month in the (quite lovely) form of Marie. Which leads us to think: would you rather be surrounded by achingly beautiful distractions at work or your regular dour-faced colleagues? What if, turning in overtime work one late night, you find yourself alone with the office crush three cubicles from you, and her boredom leads her to “undo” some things? There are company rules for such situations, but then it’s just you and her... —Ash Mahinay

The shelved cabinet that can do so much more.

This single-shelf cabinet can stand alone as, er, a cabinet. But it can also be used as a side table or a coffee table. If you remove the legs and hang it on your bathroom wall, it can even be used as a medicine cabinet. Keep it natural without paint or cover it up with shelf liner stickers, which are easier and faster to apply than paint—either way, you earn yourself a pat or two on the back.

The wood masTer

NORMAN D E O g R AC I A S norman used to work in the bpo industry. but his inborn talent eventually came through when he and his wife Jeiel started renovating condo units to rent out through airbnb. fed up with unprofessional carpenters, norman decided to do it himself. he enrolled in a few woodworking courses in the u.s. and amassed a cool collection of power tools (bought online, on sale). Whenever he needs additional help, he gets on Youtube— usually on the Wood Whisperer channel—to receive “training.” today, when norman and Jeiel find that they need new furniture for their units, norman goes to his garage and builds them. from scratch. and here he is, showing you that you can do it yourself, too!

BOTTOM

The circular saw. One of the advantages of a circular saw is that you can control it to not cut all the way through a piece of wood. Norman used the circular saw to make an indentation on all five boards (bottom, top, back, and two sides). He also used the saw to make French cleats for the medicine cabinet.

Clamp it right. Before drilling in the pocket holes, make sure you clamp the boards together securely. (Wood glue might help keep the clamp keep the panels in place.) The clamp, which comes with the Kreg Pocket Screw Jig, holds the wood down for more accurate drilling of the pocket holes. (Work on a sturdy surface to avoid accidents.)

The Kreg Pocket Screw Jig. Instead of using nails or plain screws to join pieces of wood together at a 90-degree angle, Norman makes pocket holes using the Kreg jig. It creates diagonal holes on the wood. The pocket screws you put through these holes end up pulling together the boards you’re attaching.

C OV E R

Box assembly

The Forstner bit. “To make holes for concealed door hinges, many carpenters just use a chisel,” says Norman. “But these make ugly, messy holes.” Instead, after making the necessary measurements on your wood, attach a Forstner bit to your favorite power drill. It will create a flat-bottomed round crevice neatly, for your concealed hinge to fit in. Remember to wear safety goggles when drilling with the Forstner bit, as it sends wood bits, not sawdust, flying.

www.fhm.com.ph

STEP 1: Gather what you’ll need: five panels of plyboard, 17 inches tall and 11 ¾ inches wide. For four of the panels (top, bottom, and two sides), use plyboard with ¾-inch thickness. For the back panel, use plyboard with ¼-inch thickness. STEP 2: Using the circular saw, cut a groove lengthwise on the top, bottom, and side panels. Cut the grooves ¾ of an inch from the edge, ¼ inch wide and ¼ inch deep. These grooves are where you will insert the back panel.



STEP 3: Using the Kreg Pocket Screw Jig, make pocket holes on the side panels to join these to the bottom, back, and top panels. This completes the basic box of your cabinet. STEP 4: To add doors: Use a Forstner bit to make the crevice for the concealed hinges. Install the hinges. STEP 5A: To put in a shelf: Use a Kreg Shelf Pin Jig to make equidistant holes on the side panels where the shelf pins will go in a horizontal line. These pins will hold up the shelf.

fhmphilofficial

STEP 5B: To turn it into a side table: Screw store-bought legs (leggz.com, tableLegs. com, ikea.com) under the bottom panel. To turn it into a hanging medicine cabinet: STEP 6: Using the circular saw, make a pair of French cleats, cutting them at a 45-degree angle. Screw one on the wall where you plan to hang the cabinet. Screw the other one on the back of the back panel of the cabinet. They will work like hooks, except they’re stronger and more attractive.

The Lowdown: a pickup is a truck. when we understand what that means, then we begin to understand the vehicle’s purpose. It’s meant to carry real load, like timber and machines, not just groceries. It’s supposed to negotiate terrain, both gentle and hostile. It puts premium on brute strength over gentility. the hilux ticks all boxes. It has a modern diesel engine that grunts and pushes when prodded; can easily switch from 4x2 to 4x4 with a turn on the dial; can be equipped with GPs if you choose to; has a hIll start assist Control to help you confidently drive up an incline; its



flatbed is long and wide enough to carry two motorcyles or maybe six bicycles. having said these, why did we drive it like a car? Because it drives like one when you want it to. notwithstanding its size (we had to make several attempts at squeezing between two cars at parking slots), drive feel is smooth. suspension felt a bit bouncy, but maybe we were just too careful with the car. the interiors are understated but are designed enough to be posh for a pickup. you have smartphone connectivity in the higher variants. the hilux is still a truck that will do work, but it can also sit pretty.

The Lowdown: Bigger, better, faster, stronger—this is how toyota describes the new fortuner. they should add posher, because it is. the old fortuner was an sUV that didn’t have snob appeal, and you knew that the image worked because everyone wanted to drive one. But then the boys at toyota may have realized snob appeal isn’t that bad if you call it ‘premium’—and this is the result. we could argue about this, but looking at the new fortuner, you get a sense that it wants to be in the company of toyota’s top-end sUVs, the Land Cruiser and the Prado. and guess what? the fortuner is doing a good job. you could say Premium aspiration is the theme that ties toyota’s IMV (Innovative

www.fhm.com.ph

INNOVA International Multi-Purpose Vehicle) together. the “multi-purpose” part is a nod to the vehicles’ obvious utility, but they way they’re built now straddles on territory reserved for luxury. In its bespoke-like exterior and interior features, the fortuner is a commanding presence that will elevate the selfworth of anyone fortunate enough to drive one home—and remember, we’re not talking about the Land Cruiser or the Prado.



Available Engines: from 2.0L Gas to 2.8L Diesel Transmission: 5-speed MT and 6-speed AT/ Sequential Control Price: P919,000-P1.247 M

The Lowdown: we had written about the Innova just last month, but we focused on what aftermarket tricks you could do to the stock unit. now let’s just behold it for what it is. In our book, this is the best work done by toyota in its IMV lineup, and probably their best work on any car lineup to date. we say this in relation to what the Innova once was—a timid all-rounder with the simple purpose of shuttling people around. the new Innova carries the desire level up several notches, and yet it still retains its public appeal. we are very interested to know how the sales of this new Innova is doing, because we’re willing to bet the customer list is growing fast. If you are an ofw or a seaman with just-built-up cash, shopping for a new vehicle, and you see the new Innova in the showroom—you will behold it and know that it is your just reward after years of relentless toil.

LE B R O N IS LE GE ND A vitriol-free account of how one of the most reviled player on the planet made me a respectful fan WORDS ALLAN A. MADRILEJOS

Make no mistake: Lebron James—unanimous Finals MVP, undisputed best player on the planet, newly minted three-time NBA Champ, guaranted to eat for free in all Cleveland restaurants for the rest of his life—still has a losing Finals record (3-4) in his 13-year professional career. Bill Russell still has more championships than him with 11. Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Robert Horry still have more championships than him with six. Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher still have more championships than him with five. Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobli still have more championships than him with four. You'd be crazy to grant him entry into this esteemed cirle of the NBA's ultimate winners, right? How can that be even acceptable when, by your estimation, Lebron James still isn’t legendary enough? Still not clutch enough to deliver a performance for the ages while battling severe flu? Still not ballsy enough to hobble into court unassisted to shoot two free throws mere minutes after tearing his right Achilles tendon. I’m almost sure you’re ready to submit this admittedly hilarious meme as photographic evidence of his lack of fight and weakness of will.

132 FH M MARCH 2016


Enough. Mocking Lebron James just because you revel in seeing him fail—or bought into the brand of basketball those fun, freewheeling, universally adored yet, as it turned out, reckless Golden State Warriors have displayed the last few years—just won’t cut it anymore. Imagine how unwitting and shallow you’d look. Think about your stature as a heckler for a minute. It has been said that to be a key member of the venerated heckling community, one must be knowledgeable and armed with only the most salient of facts at all times. To be a heckler, in short, means to be an educated fan. Love him or hate him, Lebron James, the prodigal native son and curse assassin, reminded us of what it takes to stay true to our calling as hardcore hoops fans. Accept it and you’ll realize that, despite his massive display of ego and questionable behavior in the past and reputation as coach-killer, Lebron James has been a legend all along. An icon long before LeBlock and his triple-double Game 7 masterpiece, a leader unafraid to tread the heartache-paved road to success, a baller unflinching in his quest to break golden hearts, a mythical hero to the millions of battle-hardened and loyal fans of a sports city that suffered through and survived 52 years of defeat. By now you should know his statistical achievements speak only of his magnificence. It’s expected of us ardent and intelligent basketball fans to know them eventually by heart. Remember the time when he cemented his legend right before our very eyes and earned our respect while you’re at it. It will be tough to swallow, at first, trust me, a Laker supporter all my life. But it willl get easier in time. FH M

Ideas will run out when eventually no one bothers to think, and AI has taken over. Your patience has long run out sitting through hellish traffic that is today’s new normal. But this list? It’s staying. Last I checked, this world is still populated by males and females. Barring any cataclysmic event or a glitch in evolution that will render women extinct, leaving men to fend for, and fawn over, themselves, we will not be voting a guy on this list. As long as there are women, and some of them choose to be famous, beautiful, and sexy, we will always have FHM’s 100 Sexiest List.

BJ PASCUAL COURTESY OF ESQUIRE PHILIPPINES

As I went through your chosen 100, excited that you voted in the current crop of new and young faces holding their place in the celebrity universe, it occurred to me that when the list started 16 years ago (it’s as old as the magazine itself), we were as thrilled to have come up with a stellar lineup of new and young faces. But even then we were already looking into the future. “Who will replace these women when their time comes to take the curtain call?” The future just happened. This is the 2016 FHM 100 Sexiest List. To be sure, there are still classic beauties here, and it’s safe to say they’ll be staying for a while. But the entry of the young and the new signals the continuous redefinition of this list, and even now, as we think of the next generation of cover stars who will soon take their place here, we are sure this list will enjoy a long run.

L A ST YE A R: 16 Have you ever noticed how the Philippine economy greatly improved ever since Ms. Ozawa set foot in the country? As soon as the actress opened her own venture, the posh Singles Bar in Resorts World, stocks rose, oil prices dipped, and there was generally a positive outlook, especially among men in the business sector.

N E W E N T RY “Akong bahala, guys,” Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach promised every Pinoy before becoming the third Filipina to win Miss Universe. This, after failing to get into the Binibining Pilipinas pageant twice before. Such spunk and perseverance is what you get when you become your family’s breadwinner at 11 years old. Gorgeous inside and out—no wonder she’s the most beautiful woman in the universe.

15 ANDREA

TO R R E S

L A S T YE A R: 2 Although she first put her name out there by appearing in a reality show, Andrea has since proved that she’s a talented woman. She’s appeared on TV, in film, and, most importantly, on FHM’s cover two years ago. Far too long ago, in our opinion.

L A S T YE A R: 4 5 In the reboot of fantaserye Encantadia, Glaiza takes on the role of the wise and ambitious keeper of fire, sang’gre Pirena. We haven’t really tuned in yet, but we say it’s a fitting role for a girl as fiery as her. Just look— Glaiza is on fire!

14 J I N R I PA R K

L A S T YE A R: 7 It’s simple, really, how Jinri amassed a strong following in the Philippines—she’s K-Pop personified. But when we put her on our cover three years ago, we found out she’s more than that. Time for a second cover, do you agree?

12 SAM PI NTO

12: DOC MARLON PECJO; 11: MARK NICDAO AND BJ PASCUAL COURTESY OF PREVIEW MAGAZINE

L A ST YE A R: 4 There are certain advantages when one has a body as hot as Sam’s. One of them is that you get to appear on FHM’s cover multiple times. Another is that if you decide to create your own swimwear line, you get to model it, too. Sam did both (check out her Sirena Swimwear line), and our eyes couldn’t get any bigger.

11 ELLEN ADARNA

L A ST YE A R: 3 This Fil-Spanish beauty isn’t afraid to rock the boat with her opinions, and that’s why she’s one of our favorite Cebuanas. And her choice of active wear when she goes to the gym? Hotness!

10 RACHEL ANNE DAQUIS

L A ST YE A R: 8 This volleybelle has been a crowd favorite for years now. She’s the only athlete to be able to hold a consistent spot in the top 10 of our list. We can’t really decide what us fans love most about her. Is it her awesome chiseled bod, her boyish yet surprisingly beautiful looks, or the fact that she can melt any man with the competitive fire she has in her eyes? At the rate she’s going, she’ll most probably be on our list for years to come, so at least we can keep on guessing.

N E W E NTRY With 16.5 million views on her “Twerk it like Miley” dubsmash video, FHM cover girl Kim would tend to become famous. A random guy even made a 10-minute video of nothing but Kim lip-syncing over and over. Gets hypnotic after a while.

L A ST YE A R: 5 Wedding bells a-ringing. We give our four-finger salute to one of the finest and sexiest in the land. And for Bolzico, we give a special one-finger salute, you sonavabitch! But seriously, take care of Solenn.

7 A R C I M UÑ O Z

L A ST YE A R: 76 We hear you, and we agree, that Arci mania is about to shift into full throttle. We’ve been watching her metamorphose from rock singer to underwear-endorsing bombshell–with a dazzling array of haircolor changes along the way–and we can’t wait for the climax.

6 MARIAN RIVERA R ETU R N I N G The three-time queen has settled in on the next chapter in her life, but her majesty still lingers over the land. She herself has stated that maybe her time on the list is up. We’d accept that, but only because we feel like we need to be placing her in a hall of fame from now on…

5 RHIAN RAMOS

L A ST YE A R: 8 6 Landing Rhian on our cover was the realization of our dream–a strong, modern, and dropdead stunning muse for the next-level man life that we espouse. The outside-the-box roles (TV lesbians), unexpected hobbies (circuit racing!), and overall level of realness that Rhian brings to life is just the perfect example of the kind of woman that brings us to our knees nowadays.

PAOLO PINEDA COURTESY OF COSMOPOLITAN PHILIPPINES

L A ST YE A R: 6 An old-timer, as far as finicky Philippine showbiz is concerned, Angel is the Darna many of us grew up with. Raise your hand, everyone who had their sexual awakening watching Angel transform into the bikini-wearing superhero. We really can’t understand how she can stay sexy, flawless, and gorgeous. So here’s our theory (don’t tell anyone): Angel Locsin is actually immortal.

L A S T YE A R: 4 9 In our humble opinion, there’s no film title more ironic than that 2014 romcom Diary ng Panget. After all, in the title role was none other than this year’s third sexiest woman in the world. How dare they? We just recovered from that when, in last year’s wildly popular TV series On the Wings of Love, Nadine became Jadine. And our world crumbled.

But we don’t really care about how expertly this hot mama spews wellthought-out one-liners. All we know is that she’s been on the scene for years now, has had a kid already, but is still insanely hot.

JESSY MENDIOLA L A ST YE A R : 23 It’s a weird world we live in sometimes. Why does a vision like Jessy Mendiola have to contend with so many detractors–nonbelievers, body-shamers, and just flat-out haters? Are we just disillusioned with some unreachable

ideal that we can’t appreciate what is right in front of us? However, real appreciates real, so allow us–and her legion of fans who know how to acknowledge true beauty–to finally shut them all up, as we crown Jessy our new queen.
