Actress Diana Zubiri remembered the controversial bikini shoot on the Edsa flyover on Shaw Blvd., which sparked controversy on Nov. 7, 2002.

After 22 years, Diana revealed that the bikini photo was edited before its release in FHM Philippines magazine.

"Noong nag-shoot ako rito naka-bikini talaga ako. Noong nagalit sila at nagkaroon ng issue, hindi ko raw pwedeng ilabas yung totoong suot ko. So inedit nila. Naka-bikini talaga ako," Diana informed Boss Toyo, in Pinoy Pawnstars Episode 381, uploaded on July 5.

Diana added: "Hindi puwedeng ilabas kasi makukulong ako. Nagkaroon kami ng hearing noon. So nag-public apology kami. Yung magazine also. So hindi nila nilabas yung nagcause ng traffic. Pero hindi naman masyado (nag-cause ng traffic).

"At saka hindi naman nila ako kilala noon nagulat lang sila. Nagulat lang sila. Tapos nasa news na. Tapos nga marami na ang nagsabi na nakita nila ako," the actress said.

Diana visited Boss Toyo to sell four FHM magazines featuring her on the cover.

The negotiation between Diana and Boss Toyo was a rollercoaster. It started with an offer of P5,000, then jumped to P8,000, and finally reached a peak at P20,000. After a series of back-and-forths, they settled for $400 (roughly P23,404).

Boss Toyo mentioned that the amount could have been higher if Diana had provided the picture's raw file.

"Nasa kanila ang raw file. Ang deal ko sa kanila noon ay bibigyan nila ako ng cellophone na may camera. So right after the pictorial, binigyan ako ng cellphone. Yun ang gift nila sa akin," Diana said.

Diana also said she had no regrets about accepting sexy roles. "Wala naman kasi sandali ko lang siya ginawa. Tapos yun ang naging stepping stone ko para magkaroon ako ng bigger opportunities sa showbiz."

The actress mentioned that she enjoyed her visit to Boss Toyo.

"Worth it naman yung pagpunta natin kasi yung mga magazine na yun tinatago ko lang. Gusto ko rin makasama rito sa mga memorable stuff ni Boss Toyo kaya okay na ako roon sa napagkasunduan naming presyo so I think worth it nga," she added.

Diana, 39, is currently based in Australia. She got married to Andy Smith in 2015. They have three children.
