“I’m overwhelmed. It’s a nice venue to send the message that everyone is sexy and if I can win this, if I’m hailed as the sexiest of FHM, lahat tayo puwedeng maging ganun. What’s important is loving yourself, being healthy and being the better version of yourself. I guess kaya ito nangyari kasi I am on that journey of being better for myself,” she said.
It was a colossal bounce for the "Maria Mercedes" star, who was previously on the 23rd spot in the 2015 rundown.
In the weeks paving the way to the vote due date, Mendiola beat Nadine Lustre, a young on-screen character with an exceptional achievement of her onscreen pair with beau, James Reid. She surpassed Nadine days before voting has ended.
