The country's sexiest woman, Katrina Halili, happily waves to the predominantly male crowd that trooped to the World Trade Center in Pasay City to see the gorgeous women who made it to FHM's list.

Katrina also bagged the same honor last year, a proof that her victory in 2006 was no fluke.

Showered with multi-colored confetti, Katrina shares the stage with equally sexy Asia Agcaoili who is the evening's host. Showing no bones in flaunting her sensuality, Asia almost steals the thunder from all the ladies with her minimalist fashion statement. The FHM columnist placed 19th in this year's race. With Asia's skimpy get-up, who knows? Her stock may leap considerably for next year's voting.

The World Trade Center's aircon doesn't seem to work for Asia Agcaoli—she wears so little all throughout the event. Asia's daringness prompted some people to speculate the she's out to upset all the ladies that evening, including grand winner Katrina Halili. The FHM columnist simply brushes off the accusation by stating that the occasion simply calls for everyone, not just her, to be a bit over the top if they want to.

Crowd darling Ehra Madrigal gets the loudest cheers from the audience. Despite expressing joy in seeing their favorite babe, some of Ehra's fans admit feeling a bit disappointed with her slightly conservative attire that evening. "Sana mas sexy ‘yung suot n'ya," mutters one spectator.

Living up to the Royal Flush moniker given to her this year by FHM, Bianca King keeps everything simple yet regal , exemplified by her classy-sexy attire that evening. Bianca, one of FHM's perennial crowd drawers, maintains her strong appeal this year despite the fact that she's already taken. Last summer, she confirmed reports that she and Hale's vocalist Champ Lui-Pio are already a couple.

Once a pantasya, always a pantasya. Without even saying it, Joyce Jimenez reminded everyone why she's dubbed as the original "Pantasya ng Bayan" during her active movie making days. Slowly making a comeback, Joyce's aura nowadays is a combination of sexy meets sophistication. Joyce Jimenez is one tough act to follow and can give anyone a run for the money anytime, anywhere.

Another FHM crowd drawer, Iwa Moto's meteoric rise to the top 10 clearly indicates her rising stock among the male populace. Wearing all black with a teasingly revealing top, the young audience who finds her devil-may-care attitude extremely irresistible, let out loud squeals of delight.

FHM Philippines editor-in-chief, Allan Madrilejos, once more becomes the envy of all the men present that evening as he was surrounded by all the gorgeous women on stage. Later on, Allan gave all the ladies the customary peck on the cheek as thanks for gracing the successful event. Needless to say, all guys inside the venue stood in awe, wishing they had Allan's job right on the spot.

Viva Hot Babes (from top: Jennifer Lee, Gwen Garci, and Ella V.) raise temperatures with a sexy dance number that officially jumpstarts the event. Gwen, Ella V., and Jennifer along with Asia Agcaoili are consistent favorites among the members of the Viva Hot Babes.

A shirtless Jay Contreras of Kamikazee pumps up the crowd with his crazy not to mention sexy stage antics. In one particular scene, Jay lies down on the floor and makes like a "street hump" so the models can walk over his slight frame.

Regine Tolentino is one hot momma! The FHM voters, not minding the fact that she already has two girls, put her on the 82nd spot.

According to the 50-page primer of FHM 100 Sexiest Women, this young actress has spunk, and the curves! She hasn't graced any cover of FHM, but she landed on the 39th spot. There's indeed a clamor for her. While she's still in the process of deciding on whether she's going to pose for FHM or not, she's happy cheering for her sister Ehra who placed 5th this year.

Pretty Nancy Castiliogne looks very sweet in a classy floral dress which flaunts her flawless complexion. Now, do you still wonder why guys line up to take her hand?

The entire World Trade Center erupts with anxious anticipation when Maureen Larrazabal's name is called. With FHM's June issue still fresh in everyone's mind, Maureen once more proves why a multitude of men refer to her as "The Bomb."
