Gemma Gatdula - White Castle Girl

I didn’t expect to be chosen because most of the finalists were very pretty and had the potential to be the White Castle girl. But in the end, it’s still the judges’ choice and I’m very proud and happy that I won. I guess they chose me because of my looks, confidence and personality.

The inevitable first question would be—how does it feel to be this year’s White Castle Whiskey girl?

It’s a great honor, being one of the ladies in the castle, wearing a red two-piece bikini, and riding on top of a white horse that’s already an icon in the Philippine liquor industry.

Is drinking something you enjoy, by the way?

You could say I’m a social drinker. I like whiskey on the rocks, or when it’s prepared as a cocktail. I really like the taste when it’s mixed.

If you were a drink, what would you be?

I still might be a whiskey that’s aged in pristine oak barrels for a year to delineate its quality, ha ha! Aside from that, you also feel the quality of its taste and smoothness, which reflects my personality.

Vans Baisa - January 2008 FHM Girlfriend of the Month

Somehow we fear all women to be like Vans. During the day, she is hands-on with her own internet café; at night, she does the rounds at gig circuits as an R&B singer, if not doing the catwalk as a model. Clearly, this packed schedule just won’t sit well with clingy, needy boyfriends like us. But after giving it some serious “adult mindset” thought, and writing down “Not to be protective of our girlfriend again” on our New Year’s resolutions list, we came up with an equation: Girlfriend has no time to reflect on unnecessary things = no jealous fits, no nagging, no complications. Hence, a truly happy life!

Minding her own business
I own an Internet café in Cainta called 88 Plus. So far business is doing good. I think kasi it’s the modern form of communication. The lives of today’s people are now largely dependent on the internet. I’m thankful for that kasi malaki rin ang naitutulong sa family ko nung kita. But if you ask me, I’m not an Internet buff myself, but I have a Friendster account.

What she writes
I write better when I’m heartbroken or in love. Siyempre mas realistic yung mga sinusulat ko pag feel ko talaga, ha ha! Pero right now, I rely on past experiences kasi wala naman akong special someone to write about.

Long timer
When it comes to men, I don’t care much about the looks, basta I want someone who’s in for the long haul. Ayaw ko nung pang-short time lang. Tama na ang laro!

New Year’s resolution
This year, I promise to work harder year to either release an album or make my business grow, or both. So wish me luck!

FHM Cover Girls 2008

Made any preparations for the shoot?

Walang preparations kasi maraming beses ko rin itong pinag-isipan. A month ago, I didn’t want to push through with it. Then the week after, oo. Tapos the following week, hindi na naman. Paiba-iba ako ng mood, until finally, I just agreed to do it only a few days ago. I didn’t want to do something I wasn’t willing to do, kaya hinintay pa talaga namin na maging ready na talaga ako.
You are the first StarStruck Ultimate Survivor, but some of your batch mates like Katrina Halili and Cristine Reyes have become FHM babes way before you did.

As much as possible ayoko sanang ma-compare ng mga tao sa kanila kasi wala namang point. Magkakaiba naman yung aming strengths. Since the beginning yung pagka-package sa akin was wholesome. But I admire them both, especially since we started in the industry together.

In terms of physical assets, what sets you apart from them?

Mahirap isipin, ha ha! Readers na lang natin ang hintayin nating magsabi!

Katina Halili

Woman last year, reveal his sexy body secret.

Katrina pose in FHM twice, she was a FHM cover girl for December 2005 and October 2006. She was called by her friends “KAT”. Katrina joined some beauty contest in their province.

Kat has come a long way since her audition in the first ever star struck avenger. She’s never out of style and always in demand. She was born January 4, 1986 in Quezon, but she grew up in Palawan Island of Philippines.

Before posing for best seller’s magazine FHM, she underwent to liposuction. She was caught flatfooted when Philippine well-known cosmetic surgeon admitted to media about her secret of being beautiful sexy star. “Nobody asked me on liposuction beforehand, and it was silly to announce I done it, as many showbiz personalities had done it also” the girl explained. She also maintained her diet for her whistle-bait figure.

The ultimate FHM Girl Next Door

You looked very comfortable throughout the shoot. A pro?

Ha ha! Well I am comfortable because I’m enjoying myself. I have the guts and I have the body to show. I also enjoy flirting—with the camera, that is.

Do you think you stand out from among the rest of the girls?

I think so, as the other finalists have said I have the perfect body, which I am really proud of. But I think the others also have something that I don’t have.

What other things make you sexy?

My attitude and the way I carry myself. Being confident is a plus point, helping me feel sexy whenever I relate with people. I’m friendly and easy to talk to.
