The first question was thrown by Pia Guanio wherein she asked Francine about the issue that she was reportedly selling all of her properties due to financial difficulties. The Bubble Gang mainstay quickly explained her side that ever since it was already a habitual attitude of her to sell her old things whenever she wanted to buy a new one to replace. Aside from that, the sexy Kapuso actress also revealed that their house was currently under renovation due to an observation of a “feng shui expert” when her mom consulted it and found out that some of the portions of their house are in bad luck. They also wanted to replace their old stuffs with brand new furniture inside, in short; they all wanted a “new batch” of things. (Wow!) Raymond Gutierrez afterwards asked Francine’s love life wherein the she is being linked in a prominent business man who is a bit older than her. She defended and insisted that the guy is just one of her “closest friends” in the society.

Meanwhile, Mo Twister twisted the question regarding Francine’s weight. It was pretty obvious that Francine Prieto gained a lot of weight that was noticeable since the “Bench Black Out Fashion Show “last year. Francine Prieto confidently accepted the truth about the issue and was even proud of what she is right now. Moreover, Francine also revealed that she’s still in control about her body and is now starting to loosen up some weight for the sake of her busy showbiz career.

I still remember her as Anna Marie Falcon when she joined Bb. Pilipinas last 2003 when she landed as part of the top 12 finalists. Her looks and her 5’10 height definitely suited the prestigious beauty pageant that’s why she made it up to be one of the crowd’s favorite.

According to my vivid memory, she also used to be a part time model before she decided to join Bb. Pilipinas, and when this flawless looking Francine Prieto landed to showbiz, her life story was even featured in GMA 7’s “Magpakailanman” from which they have shown Francine’s pics when she was still young doing ramp modeling. One thing that I’ve noticed from those pics was her “flat chests” when she was still starting her career. I guess, when Francine Prieto finally got her big break to enter into showbiz, Francine followed the trend to go under the knife and lined up as one of the hottest sexy stars of her time.

Today, Francine Prieto faces a lot of controversies when she showed her ‘chubbiness’ in the recent fashion show of Bench. I’ve collected some of Francine Prieto Pics and videos just for a bit comparison of her looks before when she was still Anna Marie Falcon and the present, Francine Prieto in showbiz.

And here’s the current figure of Francine Prieto during the Bench Balckout denim and underware fashion show in Araneta Coliseum.

So, how’s your observation about Francine Prieto Pics and videos? Which look do you prefer, the Anna Marie Falcon before or the present Francine Prieto?

All of the models and celebrities who participated in the successful fashion event ramped it all out showing their beautifully curved bodies that people can’t help but to scream and shout at the top of their lungs due to hotness and extreme appeal of the stars. But, everyone got really surprised and dismayed when Bench old timer model, Francine Prieto enters the stage wearing her black undergarments that showed a big change on her body.

Full-bodied Francine Prieto ramps with a lot of confidence that people couldn’t help but to laugh or criticize the ‘chubbiness’ of the pinay celebrity. They were very disappointed because the sexy comedienne did not even had any preparations for the said fashion show that only happens once every two years. Francine’s legs, hips and waistline obviously got bigger and wider but as for her; she admits that she gained a lot of weight due to last years’ stress.

Press people had the chance to interview Francine regarding the reactions of the audience about her being an ‘Obese’. She just gave a laughing answer and told the press that “if I were an obese, what do you call those who are really obese?” Francine Prieto also added that a lot of people noticed the ‘big change’ on her body right after the fashion show that’s why they are all advising her to loose weight. The flawless pinay celebrity said that she is really well-determined to focus on her diet but never pressured from all the intrigues about her obesity issue. Francine Prieto tries her best doing a lot of work out for more than one month now. She does jogging and even plays tennis if she has no tapings.

Francine also reveals that she will surprise the public to her new skinny body right after loosing some weight. As for now, Francine Prieto is already preparing for the next Bench Fashion Show that will surely amaze the people of her alluring sexy figure.

Sexy star Francine Prieto is now back in primetime television. Joining the all-star cast of GMA-7’s new action- packed telenovela, Codename: Asero which features the latest love team of the kapuso network, top billed actor Richard Gutierrez and former kapamilya star now a kapuso, Heart Evangelista.

Francine will be playing Aureana, the sexy but a little bit stupid assistant of Bodjie X played by Michael V.  They will be working in the secret agency called “The Advocate” which aims to protect the world from all the lawbreakers. They will be responsible for inventing all the gadgets of Grecko Abesamis, (Richard Guttierez) to be used as weapons from all their enemies.

Francine Prieto was known to be a regular cast in the longest running gag show in the Philippines, “Bubble Gang” also with Michael V. and other comedians that airs every Friday. But the character that really sticks to the mind of the kapuso fanatics was her role as “Jingle” (this was her funniest role ever!) in GMA-7’s comedy sitcom, “Bahay Mo Ba ‘To?” together with Harold, (Kempee De Leon) who played as a gay.

After being lined up as a sexy comedienne, Francine finally given another challenge in acting when she landed as one of the cast of the top- rated fantaserye, “Etheria” which she played as Avria followed up by her role as Kuran in Richard Guttierez’ another fantaserye, “Kamandag”.

Francine Prieto is really happy with her break in Codename: Asero as she said in a recent interview, not only because she is very much comfortable with her co-star, Michael V but also, she was able to do much lighter role again (comparing to her last two portrayals as an antagonist and brave characters that she played before). You can catch Francine Prieto’s bubbly character in Codename: Asero, weeknights after 24 Oras in GMA-7’s telebabad.
