“Surreal.”
This is how Jessy Mendiola described her feeling after being announced as FHM's Sexiest Woman this year.
Jessy thanked her supporters, who voted for her in the annual poll, by sharing a photo of her holding a plaque, which bears her sexy photo and the title “The Nation's Sexiest Woman” from the popular men's magazine.
In an interview with FHM staff, Jessy said her win proves everyone can be sexy.
She said, “I’m overwhelmed.
“It’s a nice venue to send the message that everyone is sexy and if I can win this, if I’m hailed as the sexiest of FHM, lahat tayo puwedeng maging ganun.
“What’s important is loving yourself, being healthy, and being the better version of yourself.
“I guess kaya ito nangyari kasi I am on that journey of being better for myself.”
Jessy rose from the 23rd spot last year in the poll.
She overtook other celebrities who led the previous poll; such as Angel Locsin, Jennylyn Mercado, Marian Rivera, and Sam Pinto.
