Actress Janine Gutierrez was named “Sexiest Woman Alive” by Esquire Philippines, becoming the first recipient in seven years since Catriona Gray.
In a media meet, Janine paid tribute to her late grandmother, Pilita Corrales, whose first death anniversary is next month, saying her “mamita would have loved it.”
She fondly recalled Pilita’s own sense of sexiness on stage and shared how the term “knockout” was her grandmother’s way of calling her sexy.
Janine also highlighted the support of her partner, actor Jericho Rosales, who praised and shared her photoshoot layouts.
She expressed gratitude for having someone so encouraging in her life, valuing his opinions on her creative work.
