Sunday, May 3, 2009


MAXIM Philippines makes beautiful music this month with its 2009 Music Issue, with performer Geneva Cruz going au naturel on our cover. Geneva may be no stranger to men’s magazines, but her MAXIM shoot is, without a doubt, her personal hottest ever.

With the next phase of her career gathering momentum, Geneva bares all in our exclusive interview, from her past relationships to her current projects, her Vegan lifestyle and her personal advocacy with PETA. She burns bright and beautiful as a sexy Mother Nature in her jungle-themed pictorial. This is Geneva Cruz as you’ve never seen before.

Readers will find MAXIM’s May issue packed to the gills with features on music and the music industry, starting with MAXIM’s 25 Hottest Women in Music, hand-picked by MAXIM editors from the vocalists and musicians active in today’s music scene. The feature segues into “Goddess is a DJ,” featuring DJ sensation Christina BÃĪrtges who happens to be #25 on MAXIM’s list. MAXIM also sits down with the controversial Diane Ventura, blamed by many for the break-up of the Eraserheads, as she narrates her side of the story.

Many other music features round out the issue, including interviews with iconic composer Ryan Cayabyab, rock bands Chicosci, Hilera and Duster, a look at the Cebu music scene, and a fashion pictorial starring Ely Buendia and the boys of Pupil.
