Empress is FHM Cover Girl for March 2013

Kapamilya actress Empress Schuck is on the cover of FHM Philippines March 2013 issue. Empress, who just turned 20 last month made a big switch from a child star to debuting on the cover of the said men's magazine.

Wearing a two piece bikini while half-submerged in a pool, Empress was photographed by Ronnie Salvacion for her FHM debut cover. She is also seen posing along a coastline in a number of swimsuits for the inside photos.

"I'm happy kasi meron akong nagawang bago para sa sarili at career ko. I want everyone to realize that I'm no longer a child. It's also for everyone to understand na posing for FHM doesn't mean na magse-sexy ka na or you are changing your image sa public. I took it as a challenge to show everyone na you can still be wholesome while showing skin," Empress was quoted as saying by FHM in its official website.

Aside from Empress, FHM also put new FHM columnists Jahziel Manabat and Abby Poblador in a spectacular debate against each other. For this year's Bikini Heaven Special, FHM had Wendy Valdez, Jef Gaitan, Karen Bordador, and a few other swimsuit sweethearts.

Talking about swimsuits, why not see Empress in her own in the photos below. Grab your copy of this FHM 13th anniversary issue (March 2013) with Empress on the cover, now available in stands nationwide.
