Diana Zubiri is on the cover of FHM Philippines July 2008 issue. FHM is the market leader and the number one men’s magazine in the Philippines (note: in the US, it’s Maxim). When Diana Zubiri first posed for the sexy men’s mag, it sparked the “flyover” incident, wherein she posed wearing only a red hot bikini in a flyover in Mandaluyong City for her first FHM shoot in 2002. For this, she was slapped with a criminal case of Alarm and Scandal.

Diana Zubiri is also a favorite in the other Asian editions of FHM. To date she has done 4 covers. This year’s Sexiest Woman of the World poll placed her at 5th. To this Diana Zubiri said, “I’m happy kasi [I'm still a top contender] kahit marami nang bagong nagsulputan.” She regularly appears in the GMA Kapuso shows Bubble Gang and Gaano Kadalas ang Minsan.

The July 2008 issue of FHM Philippines also includes the results of the controversial FHM 100 Sexiest Women 2008 poll.

After all the controversy fans of Marian Rivera and Angel Locsin, in the end FHM Philippines revealed that it was no contest after all. The results of the Sexiest Filipina poll thru text, ballot and online voting showed that Marian Rivera garnered a total of 316, 135 votes, while Katrina Halili, two-time winner of FHM 100 Sexiest, landed the second spot with 123, 239 votes. Angel Locsin, who won as sexiest Pinay in 2005, came only third with 121, 388 votes.

FHM Philippines editor-in-chief Alan Madrilejos also disclosed that Marian Rivera commanded a large lead in online and text votes, while Katrina Halili topped the ballot-voting category. Meanwhile, Angel Locsin did not top any category.

That is the story of the day. Allegedly, the GMA talents came victorious because of an enthusiastic campaign from the GMA management itself. Employees and talents alike were given 300 pesos load to vote for Marian Rivera, as reported in by several movie columnists.

Meanwhile, Dingdong Dantes, Marian’s leading man in the hit Primetime TV Show, Dyesebel, even before the results were announced, had made known his preference that Marian should be the number one sexiest Filipina in the FHM annual poll. “She deserves it because she worked hard for it,” hot hunk Dingdong Dantes said.
