The FHM search for the country’s sexiest woman has never been this hot. The voting ended last Sunday but the winner will be announced in June. It’s said that Marian Rivera is the top favorite in the online voting, with Katrina Halili and Angel Locsin following her.
Obviously, this displeased Angel’s fans and her camp issued some negative remarks about Marian. In return, we got this letter from a group of Marian fans called “MarianKnights” about the issue.
“This is in response to the PROs of Angel Locsin who allege that a GMA insider revealed that GMA-7 supported Marian by giving away P300 worth of load to vote for Marian. Who is that insider? The PROs should name names.
To begin with, FHM said they have so far only partial and unofficial results. We think the PROs should wait until the official results are issued before they say GMA is doing an inside job to make Marian win. What if it is Angel who’d win? We don’t know yet, right?
“As for us ‘MarianKnights,’ we did our best to support Marian Rivera. Our fan club never questioned that two weeks ago, it was Katrina Halili who was leading the polls and Marian was only second in the unofficial tally. Instead, what did we do? You can visit our website at marianrivera.net to see we did a lot of hard work to support her.
International members of our fans club sponsoring the Philippine chapter sent remittances to buy the loads to text FHM and we can show you proofs of these remittances to demonstrate that it’s Marian’s legions of fans all over the world who supported her, not GMA. And we are talking only of our fans club. Marian has several other fans clubs supporting her and they also want her to win this contest conducted by FHM Magazine. So, if Marian would win, Angel fans should not go sourgraping. Be a good sport.”
Well, all we can say is that we don’t know how FHM will react to this. Their sexiest woman search has turned into a popularity contest for movie stars similar to those conducted by other fan magazines. Marian has not even done a sexy pictorial and yet she’s being voted to win in FHM’s sexiest woman search. Maybe they should change their criteria about who’s eligible and who’s not. Actually, this has become a personal duel between Marian’s and Angel’s fans. Katrina’s fans, strangely, remain very quiet.
