No one could have guessed that former teeny-bopper Valerie Concepcion could actually get an entire nation dancing via the hit noontime show Wowowee. In fact, many had predicted that her career would fizzle out after her unexpected pregnancy at age sixteen. But Valerie, who appears on the cover of FHM for the second time this October, has proven everyone wrong. She was able to bounce back and what critics thought would destroy her career ended up being the fuel she needed to accelerate her life to full speed.
It wasn't easy to bounce back into showbiz after her pregnancy. Valerie is thankful that Wowowee came along. But, although hosting may have paved the way for a new career, she admits that acting, her first love, has undeniably taken a backseat.
"For the longest time nagho-host ako kaya ang feeling ko, nakalimutan ko nang umarte," she tells FHM.
Val got the opportunity of a lifetime when she bagged a starring role in an afternoon soap, but the project was shelved, "I'm sad about it but I'm not dwelling on it, maybe it was not meant for me."
The soap may not have been meant for her, but perhaps Mr. Right is just waiting in the wings. Valerie who charms millions of viewers daily also seems to attract athletes and musicians in the dating scene.
"Parang feeling ko, sa showbiz, ang malapit sa world mo, bands," Valerie says, revealing that she has a crush on singer Richard Poon. "Dahil ba single mom ako I can't have crushes anymore?" she points out, "I don't care what other people say as long as I know I'm not doing anything wrong."
Valerie reveals more skin and exudes way more confidence in her second appearance on FHM compared to her first back in 2006. She is such a hot momma that FHM staff jokes she could still grace their cover once her daughter Fiona turns 18. Would she be open to a mother-daughter cover? She laughs and says, "Naku, malayo pa yun, hindi ko pa iniisip na tatanda na siya... Now I'm just enjoying her as a child."
The October issue of FHM featuring Valerie Concepcion on the cover is now available in newsstands, bookstores, and supermarkets nationwide at only P125 per copy. For more of FHM online, visit www.FHM.com.ph.
Mukhang bitter ka sa life mo day???? manood ka ng wowowee ha para malaman mo na mas kilala si Valerie kesa sa fave mong artista sa GMA na kailangan pang mag name tag pag pumunta sa probinsiya!!!!
Marami sa ibang bansa especially Amerika na mga babaeng nanganak na hindi kasal, so mga malalandi rin pala sila. Pero hindi ko narinig na tinatawag silang malandi dahil sa nanganak na hindi kasal, maybe it's just in my beloved Philippines na malalandi ang mga babaeng nanganak na hindi kasal. Single parent man sila pero itinataguyod nila ang needs ng kani-kanilang mga anak at hindi na lang basta itinapon or what. I still salute to Jen and Val and to all single parents that work hard for the best of their children.
naku naman, napaka judgmental naman ng mga tao dito. she made good with her life naman it hindi naman niya kayo inaano. she provides for her family too so wag naman masyadong mapanghusga.
hayyyy..mas like ko si Val kesa ke Mariel at RR na walang ginawa kundi magpa cute. kaya lang si Val bungis-ngis masyado!!! pero like her maganda talaga eh!
napansin ko pag bagay ang make-up niya sa kanya in a specific day , tuwang-tuwa siya sa sarili niya habang pinapanuod niya sa camera. hehe. Pero pag hindi siya maganda sa make-up niya, nahihilaw ang expression niya.
Be Well!
