Jessy Mendiola Is on the Cover of Esquire Magazine September 2013 Issue

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Jessy Mendiola takes the cover of Esquire magazine's annual fiction issue where Luis Katigbak writes 22 truths about the lovely young star of ABS-CBN’s Maria Mercedes.
The magazine also features several short stories from the most acclaimed writers in the country.

Jessy Mendiola is in the news lately not just because of her taking on a role of Maria Mercedez made popular by Mexican actress Thalia in the early '90s but also because of the news that Sam Milby is courting the Kapamilya star.

Mendiola is the fourth Filipina actress to reprise the role of the international star. Marian Rivera played Marimar, Carla Abellana portrayed Rosalinda, and Erich Gonzales did a remake of Maria la del Barrio in the GMA 7 and ABS-CBN adaptations.

Rogue Magazine presents five "iconic" cover models for their September 2013 issue!

Anne Curtis, Judy Ann Santos, Charlene Gonzalez, Marian Rivera, and Angel Locsin graces the cover of Rogue Magazine's "The Style Issue" this September.

All of them except for Marian Rivera are from the ABS-CBN Kapamilya network. It seems Marian is the only GMA 7 Kapuso network star that was chosen to be among the five cover models with a solo set each on the digital version, but in my point of view, Marian turned out to be the most stunning. Just look at those eyes, the hair, the leg and the cleavage. She really has the most alluring pose and most charming face among the five.

I am also wondering why Charlene Gonzalez was included among the five. She's not that iconic unlike the four whom you'll see very often in print ads, posters, billboards and TVCs as product endorsers. Charlene's age bracket may be a little off from the other four, maybe except for Judy Ann Santos who is also a wife and a mother. But compared to Judy An Santos, Charlene stands out more in the cover and seems to look like of the same age as the others.
