'FHM' heats up NU 107 radio show
MANILA, Philippines - For the past 10 years, FHM has titillated its wide readership with hot cover babes and equally steamy stories. As they gear up for the release of their highly-anticipated “100 Sexiest Women of the World” issue next month, the people behind FHM tells NU 107’s “The Magazine Show” stories behind the making of its latest issues. Guests in today’s show are Allan Hernandez, Chad Rosario and Trisha Alvarez.
FHM managing editor Allan Hernandez has been with the magazine for eight years. He’s seen all kinds of sexy — from Rosanna Roces, Diana Zubiri and Sunshine Cruz, to their June cover girl, Max Eigenmann. When asked what is the best thing about working for FHM, he says, “FHM is the platform for setting the standards of what a good magazine should be.” Allan is also the guitarist for the rock and post-punk band The Late Isabel.
Chad Rosario has been the associate publisher for FHM for three years and he says that he still gets star-struck every now and then. “I wouldn’t say I’m the type who gets star-struck a lot. But when you see your celebrity crushes in person — girls you never thought you’d meet in your lifetime — that’s a different story.” He also says about the future of FHM, “Our aim is to bring FHM closer to our readers and fans, like a true pare.”
Model and first-time FHM girl Trisha Alvarez is featured in this month’s issue, where she dons a black bathing suit that screams dominatrix. The 22-year-old stunner says about posing for the magazine, “I was really scared, conscious and nervous at first! I never imagined myself doing those poses. I don’t think I am that sexy to go topless and bottomless.”
“The Magazine Show” is hosted by surfer-photographer Mark Dimalanta and model Raya Mananquil every Saturday from 12 noon to 1 p.m. on NU107 FM, with live webcast on www.nu107fm.com/live-access.
