The 23-year-old Mendiola jumped to the top spot this year from 23rd place last year. The magazine conducted its public poll from April 1 to June 15.
“The people have the power to choose who they think belong on the list, and who should be crowned the Sexiest Woman in the Philippines,” says Allan Hernandez, FHM editor-in-chief.
Past winners of FHM Sexiest Woman in the Philippines include Jennylyn Mercado, Marian Rivera, Sam Pinto, Katrina Halili, and Angel Locsin.
