Manila - Singer and stage actress Rachel Alejandro graced the cover of FHM Magazine’s March 2018 latest issue.
FHM is a defunct monthly men's lifestyle magazine, currently operating solely online that contains features such as the FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World, which has featured models, TV presenters, reality stars and singers.
In an Instagram post of Alejandro on Monday, "incredulous" was the term she used to describe her initial reaction to the offer. "Really? Me... at this age?"
The daughter of OPM legend Hajji Alejandro, the 44-year-old actress joined showbiz in the '80s, and has since expanded her career to become a fitness author and entrepreneur with The Sexy Chef, a specialized diet delivery service.
Alejandro is probably one of your older tito's crushes from back in the day, but just look at her, killing it in this sultry spread for her FHM debut. Maybe it has something to do with her constant involvement in the arts (or her healthy food delivery business), but our latest cover muse just radiates an aura of wellness and sophistication.
Alejandro didn't only follow in her father's footsteps, but carved out a name for herself in the industry. Alejandro cemented her status as one of the top sirens in the country with a handful of awards under her belt for pop staples like "Paalam Na" and "Kaytagal."
Then there's Rachel the actress, both a scene-stealer of film and stage. She broke through the curtains at a young age (The Sound of Music) before her foray into hosting (That's Entertainment) later on in her career.
Last year, more than two decades since her last onscreen role in Mumbaki, she played Paula, Paulo Avelino's romantic fling in Ang Larawan, the MMFF Best Picture winner.
Having an outlet to channel her artistry and creativity must be Rachel's secret to staying relevant. On the other hand, inviting her was a no-brainer on our part—after all, a mature woman who knows how to navigate a successful career is the biggest turn on.
