TV host-actress Valerie Concepcion pleads to DVD pirates to refrain from using her photos as a come-on to buyers of illegal sex videos.

“Wag naman. Bakit naman ganoon? Hindi naman ako ang nasa loob,” she said on “Showbiz News Ngayon,” Oct. 12. "It’s bad. I feel sad. Bakit naman kailangan ganoon."
 
“Showbiz News Ngayon” got Valerie’s reaction about the issue after a tabloid columnist reported about the alleged incident.

Almost teary-eyed, Valerie said, “Sana respeto [na] lang bilang tao. Kahit naman artista kami---kahit naman nagpapaseksi kami---tao pa rin kami. We’re doing this for work. ‘Wag naman sana nila kaming gamitin para lang kumita. Sana lang makunsensiya sila.”

If there’s one thing that Valerie consented to, it is the use of her image as cover in FHM’s latest edition where she posed topless.

Valerie said the FHM pictorial has the approval of her manager Becky Aguila. Surprisingly, her daughter Fiona, now five years old, and her mom also gave it their seal of approval.

“Sabi niya [Valerie’s mom], maganda raw [ang pagkakakuha ng mga pictures] at hindi naman daw bastos, wala namang nakitang ano. Sexy lang siya, pinakita lang ‘yong likod, parang ganoon. Approved sa kanya, even sa anak [Fiona] ko,” Valerie said.

The actress went on to say that her daughter was actually delighted with the pictures.

“Sabi niya, ‘Si Mama, nakabold!' Tapos nang tinanong ko siya kung maganda ba, ang sabi niya, 'Oo, ang ganda ni Mama. Ang ganda nga ng Mama ko,’” Valerie said.

Asked if the sexy pictorial had the thumbs-up of her rumored boyfriend, basketball player Dondon Hontiveros, Valerie wailed. “Bakit kailangan pati siya kasama? Hindi ko alam. I don’t need his approval.”

Then she quickly added, “Sabi niya (Dondon), maganda, maganda ang pagkakagawa. Very natural ang dating.”

Did the basketball player find her sexy?

“Siyempre!”
