Katrina Halili in Bikini

Marimar star Katrina Halili will release a coffeetable book to promote Philippine tourism and art: "Lahat ng ginagawa ko, paiba lang siya nang paiba. Pero basta iba ito, surprise na lang, hintayin na lang nila. Ayoko na lang ikuwento basta mas sexy." PEP, Nelson Canlas:

Katrina Halili gets more daring in her pictorial for a coffeetable book, which is a dream of hers. "Kasi nung bata pa ako, mahilig akong tumingin ng magazines. ‘Tapos ngayon nagshu-shoot ako na ako ng FHM, ‘tapos nakahiligan ko na rin siya. Naisip ko, bakit hindi ko gawin," says Katrina.

For the first layout of Katrina's pictorial, the sexy young actress has chosen the island of Boracay as location—a cover near the Station 1 of Bora.

The concept of Katrina's pictorial is a sea goddess and a shipwreck survivor.

"Lahat ng ginagawa ko, paiba lang siya nang paiba. Pero basta iba ito, surprise na lang, hintayin na lang nila. Ayoko na lang ikuwento, basta mas sexy," says Katrina.

"Nakakatakot din, pero mas nae-excite ako. Nae-excite talaga ako kasi gustung-gusto ko siyang gawin," says Katrina about her new pictorial.

Katrina picked ace photographer Nicolo Cosme to capture the sensuality of the StarStruck 1 Avenger.

"We are trying to infuse tourism, entertainment, and then art [in this book]. I think it's very good," says photographer Nicolo Cosme.

Adds Nicolo, "Basically, nag-meeting kami that night nung dumating dito. May mga themes kami na susundin, sexy, provocative pero hindi bastos. I think natsa-challenge din siya, e. Hindi ko puwedeng i-disclose yung buong details, pero I think she will be baring a lot of skin."

Katrina says that Boracay is only the first of the many locations for her coffeetable book. "Nandito kami ngayon sa Boracay, ‘tapos next kaming pupunta ng Palawan, Romblon, at marami pang place na pupuntahan namin para mag-shoot kami," says Katrina. Nelson Canlas Photos.
