MANILA -- Men&#x27;s magazine FHM Philippines wants to change the definition of sexy and showcase women who are “more than just their bodies.&quot;Sure there were still performers in skimpy outfits, throwing their butts and breasts around to open the men’s magazine’s annual victory party. To be fair, those were from sponsored performances pandering to the predominantly male crowd in attendance at Valkyrie night club in Taguig Tuesday night.There was an air of elegance from the ladies who actually made it to FHM&#x27;s 2016 list: women who overcame difficulties in their personal lives and criticisms from detractors with their confidence intact. For example, Sunshine Cruz, who had to endure a failed marriage, raise three daughters, and fight her way back into the spotlight since first gracing the cover of FHM back in 2000; Rachel Anne Daquis, one of the most talented volleyball players in the country; and Jessy Mendiola, perhaps the most scrutinized winner of the “sexiest” poll in recent memory.(READ: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/07/26/16/all-hail-jessy-mendiola-the-new-queen-of-sexy">All hail Jessy Mendiola, the new queen of sexy</a>)More in line with their vision for the future, FHM Philippines had these women take the stage in relatively tame dresses compared to previous years.Below are just some of the highlights from the event, including the historic induction of three-time &quot;Sexiest Woman&quot; Marian Rivera into the FHM Philippines Hall of Fame -- a first.(READ: <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/07/26/16/marian-rivera-inducted-into-fhm-hall-of-fame">Marian Rivera inducted into FHM Hall of Fame</a>)<center><div><img alt="" src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/news-special1/entertainment/7/27/01.jpg"/></div></center>All Hail the New Queen!
