Bb. Pilipinas first runner up Rich Asuncion bares for FHM

RICH ASUNCION really looks ravishing in her sexy fotos for FHM’s May issue. How did she prepare for it? “Pinaghandaan ko talaga yan through diet and exercise,” she says. “I eat brown rice and wheat bread lang, then I run, do jumping rope, badminton and volleyball.” Is it true her dad was present at the pictorial? “Yes, kasi condition niya yun. Natuwa naman akong gusto niya akong bantayan. Pinakita ko sa kanya yung mga isusuot kong bikini and there was one na sabi ko, Pa, tingnan mo itong swimsuit na ito, hindi ko talaga kayang suotin. Actually, ilang beses na ko inalok ng FHM but I said no kasi I felt di pa ko ready talaga. Tapos, last end of February, inalok nila uli ako. I said di papaya ang dad ko but they said, ‘Kakausapin namin ang daddy mo’, and they did. Pumayag nga siya on the condition na sasamahan niya ako sa photo shoot. May auntie akong madre na ayaw rin, pero hindi naming pinaalam sa kanya. Kelan lang namin pinaalam sa kanya. Nagulat siya but she said, sige na, parang yun lang daw ito nung nag-join ako sa Bb. Pilipinas na nag-swimsuit din ako. Ang pictorial ko naman, hindi kasing-sexy at daring gaya ng sa iba. So far, positive naman ang feedback, hindi raw vulgar or bastos and I’m glad we were able to achieve that.”

Some folks say she looks fairer in the fotos. Did she take glutathione? “Naku, hindi. Takot ako sa injection, hinihimatay ako, so no gluta talaga. Morena talaga ako at kung mukhang mas kuminis, siguro inayos nila yung pictorial. Nangyayari naman talaga yun sa fotos na nilalabas sa magazines, di ba?”

Is her going sexy a preparation for her role in GMA-7’s new show, “Sisid”, where she plays villain to Jackie Rice? “Yes, preparation ito for my sexy contravida role. Paninindigan ko na ito. Sana nga, mas bumongga na ang career ko ngayon. Okay naman sa’kin magpa-sexy basta hindi bastusin. Maski sa ‘Little Star’ noon, pinag-swimsuit na rin ako. Dito sa ‘Sisid, I enjoy doing it kasi magka-same age kami ni Jackie at bago mag-take, tinatanong ko muna siya: O, sasabunutan kita rito, okay ba sa’yo?”

When she guested in “Showbiz Central”, she invited viewers to watch “Sisid”: “Marami pong nagseseksihang babae doon at mga abs ng mga lalaking nakap*kpek shorts.” Host John Lapus quickly called her attention about describing the shorts. “Ay sorry po, gusto ko lang sabihin na nagseseksihan kami roon. Sorry po talaga.” She laughs when we reminded her about this. “Nabigla lang talaga ako. Kasi very casual naman sabihin yung ganung shorts ngayon, di ba? Wala akong malisya.”

Is it true she and rumored ex-BF Aljur Abrenica avoided each when they guested in “Startalk”? “Hindi naman kami nag-iwasan. Hindi na namin nabati ang isa’t isa kasi nang dumating siya, paalis na ako, so nagkasalisi kami.”
