Actress Jessy Mendiola has earned the official title of FHM's sexiest woman in the Philippines for the year 2016.

The 23-year-old stunner made a big jump from her No. 23 spot last year, finishing with the most votes for the 'Finest in the Land' poll conducted by FHM Philippines from April 1 to June 15.
