Ramos 'sexiest Filipino man'

MANILA (AFP): President Fidel Ramos is the "sexiest" man in the Philippines, says a socialite once romantically linked to the Filipino leader.

Rosemarie "Baby" Arenas had the 67-year-old former general at the top of her list of the "12 Sexiest Filipino Men," in an interview published yesterday by economic daily BusinessWorld, "because he dresses up very well" and has a nearly full crop of hair.

"The boss," she said, referring to Ramos, "-- he's tall, dark, and handsome. Usually when a man gets older, he is no longer sexy because he'd have lost a lot of hair, unlike the President."

Ramos, who favors navy blue business suits, red or maroon ties, and a recurring unlit cigar, has publicly denied allegations that he has fathered an illegitimate son by Arenas.
