Top 5 Most Beautiful Filipina Actresses in their 40's

There is a popular saying that beauty is wasted on the young. On the other hand, there is an equally popular saying which states life begins at 40. To these female celebrities, it seems they have found a fountain of youth that defies their true age. They have not shown any signs of aging even if they are well past their prime. In fact, they continue to captivate the attention not only of men who are old but also of men who are really young. Her is my list of the most beautiful Filipina actresses in their 40's.
