April 2nd, 2008 by AMBO | Filed under Playboy Philippines.The Philippines gets it’s own version of Playboy Magazine and has just launched today at Sofitel, Pasay City. According to Playboy Philippines, “there will be no full frontal nudity” due respect to the country’s Roman Catholic Church.
Editor-in-Chief Beting Laygo Dolor said Playboy Philippines will feature Filipino women as “playmates” in the centerfold, but won’t show full frontal nudity or genitalia because that would run counter to Philippine business and cultural considerations.
“Maybe one nipple,” he said.
“If you have something like full frontal nudity, the chances are you will make a lot of enemies in the church, NGOs (nongovernmental organizations), even in the government,” he said. “We don’t want to risk our copies being burned.”
He added that local advertisers won’t pay for space in such magazines.
Dolor also said Playboy Philippines targeting mature, successful men would feature typical Filipino beauties but not celebrities, along with fashion, motoring, sports and technology features. 30% of its content will come from the U.S. edition.
Priscilla Meirelles, Miss Earth 2004 will be the first cover girl of Playboy Philippines magazine. It was announced today at the launching.

tatalunin kaya nyan ang FHM?

Depende yan sa content ng magazine. I’m sure ang market positioning niyan ay katulad ng FHM kaya magkakaroon ng STIFF competition.
If Playboy Philippines wants to PENETRATE the FHM fanbase, they would need to have better articles. I know a lot of people who are subscribers of FHM and more than the visual fantasy, they also enjoy the intellectual INTERCOURSE they experience from reading.
All puns intended. LOL.

[Reply]
@ KKK i don’t think so
But let’s see the first issue. Bili ako hahaha
@ Fitz aliw ako sa comment mo. I pretty agree!
@ Itots kunwari pa di daw bibili hahaha. Lalong di ako bibili pag si Madam Auring nga ang cover nyan.
@ Reynz as expected lols
@ Monaco i was also surprised when they announced the first cover of the Magazine. She’s not Filipino. Why a beauty titlist from Ms. Earth? Huh!
@ Mike thanks for dropping.
[Reply]

Playboy Philippines is much more than a piece of crap… it is a insult to the Playboy editions worldwide.
Dalisay and Yuson and the other Palanca award winners are excellent writers… excellent but boring. pretty much like their newpaper columns. there’s just no way that they can catch the attention of magazine readers. as i’ve mentioned in other blogs and sites… Beting has formed a dream team… for a NEWSPAPER! they are entering a genre which they cannot possibly comprehend. they are dependent on words… a magazine is not a newspaper… magazines depend heavily on visuals. which none of the editorial team of Playboy… and their useless Palanca writers have. you cannot teach a geriatric dog new tricks. Dolor, Yuson, Dalisay, and the rest are not even willing to embrace this. how can they possibly succeed?
And the publisher is more concerned about acquiring the Playboy Casino. he does not give a damn about the magazine. At least Gokongwei of Summit and Lopez of Abs-Cbn pub are conscious about the quality of their mags. Mr. Ku… just simply… doesn’t care. that’s why it’s ok for Playboy Philippines to look like crap… as long as he can hold on and wait for Playboy international to foolishly give him the casino franchise… he’s happy.
but you have to give it to the Playboy Philippines people. they are a hardy bunch. i guess for people like Krip Yuson… this is his last stab at fame and fortune. and for people like Beting Dolor… he’s just too old to do anything else. pretty much like their magazine… it is a desperate attempt.

new chismis about Playboy. The Hef heard & saw that it was so bad… he had all the issues pulled out.
anybody out there who can confirm this?
[Reply]
heard more inside chismis.
Priscilla hated the original “Black Mamba Team” that did the photography. it was just a bunch of “feeling-photographer-fellows” who thought that they were good enough to do a magazine shoot.
But they were idiots and Priscilla was super disappointed. she specifically fixed up the famous SECOND SHOOT (on her own! go girl!) with a better and competent and REAL team. she told the staff of Playboy Philippines not to use any of the shots from the first shoot. but lo and behold… they still used the cooking magazine cover option. She was really pissed but gave up.
Poor Priscilla.
