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.

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.
