Raquel Gibson in Manila was Playboy's November 2005 Playmate

I learned about if from People's Insider:

DON'T look now, but do you that Playboy's latest Playmate of the Month is a Filipina?
Yes, indeed, the November 2005 Playmate of the top men's magazine is a Pinay. Her name is Raquel Gibson.

Raquel is only the second Pinay to make it to the internationally famous mag's centerfold.
The first was Pia Reyes exactly 17 years ago -- that is, way back in November 1988.

She looks okay in these galleries here and here (not work-safe). ;)

Filipino-Italian Playboy Playmate (November 2005) Raquel Gibson was in Manila for the launching of Playboy Philippines last April 2, 2008 at Hotel Sofitel in Pasay City.

The writeup which accompanies Ms. Gibson's 14-photo, 12-page (including the foldout) nude splash in the new issue of Playboy is titled "Raquel's World Party," subheaded "Globalization is a family thing for Miss November." It reads:

"When you have a family as large and culturally diverse as Raquel Gibson's, your passport soaks up more ink than a UN ambassador's. 'My mom is Filipino, and my dad is an Italian New Yorker,' she says. 'I'm the baby of the family -- the spoiled one -- and I have five siblings from the ages of 21 to 43. I have a niece who is actually older than I am, which menas I was an aunt before I was even born.' Although the 20-year-old has always called Florida home, she often jets to the Philippines and Japan, where her oldest sister and her family live. 'I'm fluent in Tagalog, which is a language of the Philippines, and I know a little Japanese,' she says. 'I want to learn Spanish, Portuguese, Italian -- I have a whole list!' As she enthusiastically tosses some Tagalog at us, we can't help but notice her resemblance to another exotic beauty. 'It's flattering to be told that I look like Jessica Alba,' she says. 'It started when Dark Angel came out. I don't watch much TV, so I said, "Who is Dark Angel? I'm a what?" I figured it out when she became better known. My friends say I should sign autographs when people ask if I'm her, but I couldn't get into that.'
