The first Filipina girl that made history as a nude model was Tetcha Agbayani. Her nudes shot by German photographer Herbert W. Hesselmann were initially published in the German and Dutch editions of the famous men's magazine Playboy. (other media such as Wikipedia refer to her as Tetchie Agbayani) Tetcha was a well known Filipino television and movie actress and her fantastic nudes helped to promote the beauty of Filipino women all over the world. However, the deeply catholic and conservative politics and media in the Philippines condoned her nudes for religious reasons. However, many Filipinos are very proud about her former beauty queen who later on immigrated to the United States to pursue a movie career. She played in various movies including the martial arts epic Gym Kata starring Richard Norton before she returned back home to the Philippines in 1989 to finish her secondary education.
Now, you know how the craze about nude and beautiful Filipina women started about 25 years ago. Of course back than the nudes had a lot of style. It would be desirable to see similar Filipina beauties nude on the internet, but I am afraid Techa is hard to top.
