Adarna is a Philippine mythical bird which causes any person to be petrified when they catch its droppings, and like her name-sake, Ellen Adarna will surely petrify a body part of the male population as she welcomes 2012 with 2 covers for FHM Philippines January cover.

Like last month's cover Sam Pinto, this will be Ellen's second cover for the famous men's magazine in the country. The last time was on December 2010. What's more exciting is that this issue has 2 covers for serious collectors.
