MANILA — Singer-actress Geneva Cruz has been crowned the Philippines' Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity for 2011 after a monthlong online poll conducted by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta)-Asia Pacific.
Peta said the 35-year-old Geneva narrowly beat Delara frontwoman and television personality Lougee Basabas for the title.
Other popular contenders included actors Yasmien Kurdi, Chin-Chin Gutierrez, and Raymond Bagatsing, actress Alicia Mayer, and international stars Natalie Portman, Hayden Panettiere, Russell Brand, and Leona Lewis.
Geneva’s fame grew after the album that she released with pop group Smokey Mountain went double-platinum in 1989. Her first solo album, “I Like You,” also went platinum years later.
Geneva has been vegetarian since she was 15 and made the decision to switch to vegetable diet after she interacted with animals in their natural environment while filming a shampoo commercial.
"[We] were in this location in Palawan where all the animals were just roaming free! Free! All I had to do was feed one of them and say 'Natural!' We kept doing that, take after take. … I couldn't take it anymore. Not after that,” she said.
Peta Asia vice-president of international operations Jason Baker said Geneva is a “living proof that being vegan keeps you slim and sexy."
