Mom-to-be Marian bares it in Esquire mag

MANILA, Philippines - Marian Rivera (photo) graces the cover of Esquire’s November issue. Taken two months prior to her due date, the cover photo captures the expectant mother’s immortal sultriness.

Marian has played various roles on TV and on the big screen. She has been a mermaid, a superhero, a wife and a lover, but she has yet to play the most important and fulfilling role, being a mother. In the issue, Esquire delves deep into the newest phase in Marian’s life.

The magazine also features Rep. Leni Robredo as she sits down with writer-director Antoinette Jadaone to talk about hugot films, 10-hour bus rides, and the difficult decision she made with her children.

Oliver X.A. Reyes profiles Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales, who lion-tamed her way through four years of investigating and prosecuting errant public officials.

The staff rounds up a bunch of girls (and one guy) to talk about the F word: Feminism.

Author of Etiquette for Mistresses, Jullie Yap-Daza, opens up about her own encounter with infidelity, the meaning of sexual death and the problem with divorce.

November’s What I’ve Learned section features women of substance. Three women — Celine Lopez, Mich Dulce and Patti Smith — talk about different experiences in their chosen fields.

As the holidays draw closer, the Style pages feature a perfect gift guide for men who want only the best for the women in their lives.

Esquire November issue is now available on newsstands and in bookstores, convenience stores and supermarkets nationwide. A digital edition of Esquire is also available for download on your mobile device through Apple Newsstand, Buqo and Zinio.
