Cristine Reyes in a brave, bold beginning with FHM

Raining with intrigues even before doing the actual photo shoot, Cristine Reyes has been making waves in the showbiz industry simply for posing in the August 2007 issue of the country's leading men's magazine, FHM. After being wooed for three years, Cristine is finally set to reign this August as FHM helps groom her into becoming the next big thing in local Tinseltown. After charming the crowd in the recent FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World Victory Party last July, the future looks absolutely promising for this young stunner. Being the younger sister of screen goddess and former FHM cover girl Ara Mina, Cristine already has a lot going for her upon entering show business. She started out via the phenomenal talent search StarStruck, and has not stopped wowing her fans ever since. As Cristine finally reached the ripe age of 18 last February, it was no surprise FHM came knocking on her door for this cover shoot. With her FHM debut in full swing, intrigues of a rivalry between her and back-to-back FHM Sexiest Woman in the Land Katrina Halili are becoming more pronounced. Cristine, though, justifies her decision to appear in FHM is purely a career move, as she is also slated to appear in a sexy movie, Green Paradise. She clears that it was not, in any way, done to compete with anyone, especially with fellow Starstruck alumna Katrina Halili. "Wala akong intensyong makipag-compete at makipag-talbugan. Ginawa ko ito para sa sarili ko," Cristine clarifies. - Philippine Entertainment Portal
