Playboy Philippines Launched! The Philippines recently got its own version of Playboy magazine but without full frontal nudity in deference to the country’s influential Roman Catholic Church. ”We’re adjusting it to local conditions,” the editor-in-chief, Beting Laygo Dolor, 54, said in an interview. “If the church gets very angry, you can expect a reaction on the political front, maybe even big business. We don’t exist to lock horns with the church.” About 86 percent of the population of 91 million people in the Philippines is baptized Roman Catholic and the government’s classification board routinely deletes scenes of nudity from movies. A Manila mayor filed and then withdrew charges of grave scandal against a model who posed in a bikini on the main highway for the local edition of FHM magazine in 2002.
It is the 25th international franchise of Playboy, which has a global readership of almost 15 million people, according to Playboy Enterprises. The publication will contain articles and fiction from some of the country’s best-known writers, according to Dolor. Dolor bragged about his writers, that all of them are Palanca Awardees and that the Playboy Philippines maybe different because it wouldn’t be known for just making interviews but making a great article. Will you buy this piece of crap?
Maraming taong nag-react dito. Isa na ako dun. Galit na galit kami. Galit ako sa mga conservative. Gusto kong makakita ng hubad! Eh kung gusto nilang ipagbawal ang pr0n, eh di ipagbawal nila ang internet. Dahil nasa internet ang pinakamaraming pr0n. Hoy gumising kayo mga tinamaan ng lintek. Ang masasabi ko sa simbahang katoliko, di ako katoliko! Mga ipokrito kayo. Eh andami namang paring bakla. Yung mga ibang pari nga makikita mo pa sa mga nightclubs minsan. Kung yung mga kapit-tukong kawatan eh hinahayaan nyo lang sa mga gawain nya eh, bakit pati mga maliliit na bagay na tulad nito ang pinapansin nyo? Para kay Beting Dolor, bading ka ba ha?! Kung di kayo magpapakita, di kikita yang magazine nyo.. sigurado ako dyan. Eh mas conservative pa kayo sa FHM. Sa FHM na lang ako mas mura pa. Kung gusto ng tao ng mas matindi, mas ok pa yung RED magazine. Para naman sa mga pulitiko na gustong sumakay sa maliit na kaligayahan ng mga machong tulad ko eh mag-focus na lang kayo dyan sa ZTE scandal. Hala mag-imbestiga kayo ng mga Baboy at Bigas scandal at wag nyo pakialaman ang mga bagay na nakakapagpasaya sa kapwa nyo. Meron akong nakalap na mga comments sa iba't-ibang blogs at gusto kong ipakita sa inyo kung gaano kami kagalit sa mga nangyayari to: Bugz
"This magazine is totally useless. I’d rather buy the much cheaper fhm than this conservative crap. This mag should be called “Prayboy”, not Playboy. Prayboy as in: Go ahead boy and pray all day but you won’t see any pussy here."

"No titties = no sales. Men, especially in the Philippines, just aren’t sophisticated enough to want to buy a magazine that doesn’t have titties, unless it’s got sports or cars as its main feature. Bringing playboy to the philippines without the nudity is just another rich publisher buying an old name and desperately hoping it’ll still equal sales."

"Playboy = classy nudity. There is no other more simple formula for that. Nudity with class is what makes Playboy an icon. If i want to read a magazine with good articles, then I’d grab myself Details or GQ. Taking away the essence that makes Playboy the magazine that became famous for, then it defeats the purpose of having Playboy Philippines in the first place."

"No nudity? Lifestyle mag? Less daring than FHM? That doesn’t sound like PLAYBOY to me. That’s just another Cosmopolitan Magazine. I bet Cosmo will be more exciting to read."

"Playboy Philippines sucks! I guess the editor is gay!"

"What??? This is not Playboy! This should be called Gayboy!"

"Playboy without nudity is stupidity!!! How come walang nude? Dapat magsara na lang sila kung ganyan pa playboy-playboy pa sila dito kalokohan. I wouldn’t pay 200 bucks for a magazine like Playboy without nude. Show us more skin if you want your mag to sellout.. skin sells. Hindi naman bastos ang nude basta hindi lang masyadong malaswa. I'd rather buy FHM which shows more skin than this poser mag. They're just deceiving people. Fuck moralists!"

"Show us nudity or I will drop a nuclear bomb in Manila!" Yung huli imbento ko lang yan para matakot sila bwahahaha! |
