Valerie "Bangs" Garcia: Campus Idol Becomes FHM Favorite Hottie | Photos

From winning the "Campus Idol" talent contest in Davao City (the prime city of Mindanao region), Valerie Garcia's career skyrocketed like a NASA space shuttle!

Bangs, as she became known because of her fringe hair-do, was propelled to the national stage through her exposure in TV shows such as Let's Go; Gokada Go! in 2006 and 2007.

Since then, she was also seen in the following television shows: episodes of Maalala Mo Kaya: Palda, Gitara, Cellphone; Banana Split; Katorse; Magkano ang Iyong Dangal; Luv U and several episodes of Precious Hearts Romances: Hiyas, Kristine, My Cheating Heart.

In Kambal sa Uma, our featured Pinay hottie revealed her acting chops as a formidable kontrabida (anti-hero).

Miss Valerie Garcia ranked 19th in this year's (2013) 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll by FHM Philippines. For the past two consecutive years, she consistently held the 11th place in the said competition, after she was featured in the For Him Magazine (Philippines) cover in March 2010 and May 2009 (see photos below).

Bangs - who is this blogger's (and my gang of friends') favorite FHM hottie - also starred and guested in movies such as: Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 and 11, The Reunion, Segunda Mano, Bulong and Cinco.
