Sexy and ready!

One of ABS-CBN’s primetime princesses Melissa Ricks unravels her sultry side on the cover of FHM Philippines’ September issue.

During the interview, she recalls her Star Circle Quest days, “Hindi nila ako masyadong napapansin, so sabi ko, darating din ang araw, papalakpakan din nila ako."

Entering showbiz at the age of 14, it took a while before she was given her moment in the spotlight.

"... a lot of patience, I almost gave up, pero sabi ko, I have to take another risk. If it doesn’t work out, at least hindi ako magsisisi na wala akong ginawa,” says Melissa.

It is unmistakable how her career has reached greater heights. From playing pa-sweet roles like the bestfriend of the bida, a rich daughter, or a kikay, Star Magic gave Melissa the offbeat roles she had asked for— she was a wild child in Nasaan Ka Elisa and is currently playing the role of a bratty girl in Walang Hanggan.

“Mas gusto ko ako yung nagngungudngod, nagtataray, nang-aaway, nananampal. I think it brings more flavor to the show,” she says.

And just like how unstoppable Melissa is when it comes to her career, she also reveals to FHM that it's the same case when it comes to her romantic relationships. “I’m like everybody else, pag mahal [mo], you just go with the flow…para hindi ka magsisi kung ano yung hindi mo nabigay [sa relationship], or hindi mo nagawa.“
