FHM Philippines brings you Kapamilya bombshell Valerie ‘Bangs’ Garcia on the cover of this month’s issue. This marks the third time that Valerie posed for FHM and it has been three years since she graced the cover. This time around, it is no doubt that Valerie has never looked this good. 

"Those three years made me ripe. Mas hinog na ako ngayon, mas confident," Valerie tells FHM. "Mentally, mas marami na akong natutunan. Mas marami na akong experiences. Also, wala na 'yung baby fats—'yun ang napansin ko." This is Valerie version 3.0, who is also junking her screen name "Bangs", and prefers to use her full name, Valerie Bangs Garcia.

The name is just one of Valerie’s four major updates about her life on- and off-cam. In this month’s issue of FHM, Valerie also dishes out her artistic side. “Not everybody knows that I paint but I started painting in 2011 lang,” she tells FHM. Although Valerie dabbled in painting only recently, heck, she has already sold some of her paintings! “Messy painter ako. Sometimes, naka-T-shirt lang ako. Ha ha!” But she’s quick to add, “[Pero] siyempre meron akong suot na undies!”

Hooking up with a returning FHM cover girl is just the tip of the FHM October 2013 iceberg. Other awesome reads FHM did in this month's issue include: chart out when you should belt "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Pusong Bato" during beereoke (beer and videoke) sessions, build your knowledge about pussies (because all the pretty girls seem to love cats), profile of the online world's know-it-all Grammar Nazis, and riding the throwback trend by revisiting what your pops read before FHM, among others.
