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.

Yummy Pinay Jessy Mendiola | Photos

Of course, you've seen her before.

She's the hot and yummy Pinay in the latest TV commercial of McDonald's McSpicy Burger (see video of said TVC below).

Don't get me wrong. I am no fan of fast-food. I believe them to be one of the primary causes of obesity, hypertension and diabetes in highly urbanized areas around the world.

Yet, I'm a sucker for yummy Pinay girls... So, I am now featuring Filipina model and actress Jessy Mendiola.

Born as Jessica Mendiola Tawile on December 3, 1992 in the United Arab Emirates, she has a Filipino mother and a half Lebanese half British father. Jessy studied at the Far Eastern University and has been active in show business since 2003. Now we know what beauty can come out of peculiar mix of bloodlines (just look at below photos)!

This year (2013), she takes on the role of "Maria Mercedes", a Philippine version of a Mexican telenovela of the same title, which starred the sultry (and equally stunning!) Thalia, which was followed by countless Filipino fans. Below, a promotional photo from the said TV show.

It appears Jessy Mendiola is now breaking away from the pack. She ranked 24th in the latest poll by FHM Philippines for the 100 Sexiest Women in the World.

We wish her good luck and more power to her career. In the meantime, let me give in to my cravings and grab a bite of that yummy cholesterol-filled burger!
