PAS: How long have you been modeling?
Christine Mendoza: I’ve been modeling since I was just 17 years old. I was discovered at a car show in California while hanging out at a friend’s booth when a magazine approached me to take a photo. I took the photo, gave them my info and 3 weeks later, I received a call to shoot for the cover of the magazine. Excited and not wanting to pass the opportunity up, I did it! And everything pretty much snowballed from there.

Christine Mendoza: I consider most of my jobs a highlight. It’s a blessing to be able to work and do what you love.

Christine Mendoza: Drink lots of water, always remove your makeup before sleep and moisturize!
PAS: What’s been YOUR strangest photo-shoot?
Christine Mendoza: The strangest would have to be one I did where the main focus were my feet! (laughs). I was wearing a sexy bikini, yet for some reason the photographer mainly wanted shots from my feet on up. It was weird… but I guess that means I have nice feet? (laughs).

Christine Mendoza: Umm… I think I’ve fulfilled most of them so far (winks).

Christine Mendoza: Sushi! I can eat it everyday of my life without getting sick of it. I also have a crazy sweet tooth, I love desserts.

PAS: Speaking of which, have you ever posed nude?
Christine Mendoza: No I have never posed nude. The closest I’ve come was a few implied nude photos.
PAS: Do you have any regrets?
Christine Mendoza: My ex-boyfriend… sorry (laughs).
PAS: What qualities do you look for in a guy?
Christine Mendoza: I love a confident person. Not cocky, where it’s annoying, but a sexy, quiet confidence is very hot! Also a guy who is kind and genuine..
PAS: What would make you slap a guy?
Christine Mendoza: I would slap / punch / kick combo a guy if he tried groping me (laughs).

PAS: What projects are you most excited about?
Christine Mendoza: I am excited for the this magazine feature and interview to come out! I loved how my photos turned out! I really love PAS Magazine!
PAS: Any advice for aspiring models?
Christine Mendoza: Always be on time! Always, always get references from photographers and people you’ve worked with! Never work with anyone deemed shady or dangerous. They earned that repuation for a reason, so safety is key. And never talk crap about anyone unless you’re prepared to tell them to their face. Oh and always keep a fresh manicure and pedicure for shoots… if a model’s feet are looking janky it ruins the whole picture (laughs).
PAS: Do you have any last words or shout outs?
Christine Mendoza: I want to give a shout out “I love you” to my mom and dad (mahal na mahal ko po kayo!), my sister Cathy, Christopher Noel, Lulott-Tutott, Pilly Reyes and the boys, Frankie, Beeh (Beehster), Cheryl-in-a-barrel, Jackie Clack-clack, Tina, Cyrus (BFF), Lyle (my fave), Francis (dine-n-dash inc.), D’Nero (Broskidoodle), Andy, Nat and Bella, Jon Entails, Dean and Nominoms, Rod, my Secret Affair models and staff, all of my family and friends from the 805 and 808…And of course the whole PAS magazine crew! Thanks everyone. I love you all
