Playboy Magazine Philippines edition - out now! ( My short review)

Just grabbed the maiden issue of Playboy Magazine Philippines edition. and here are some of my photo shot of some pages of the magazine and also a short review.

I went to a local news stand at 11:00am and they said that the magazine is on its way to their store for delivery, just got the news about the launching of Playboy Philippines and failed to attend it last April 2 due to some conflict in my event activities, and I did a research on when will the magazine be available and luckily read it in some blogs that the magazine will be available in our news stand this April 4, 2008.

The magazine arrived between 12:00n and 1:00pm, and got the first copy of it "bueno mano" and I inquired how many copies been delivered, the sales lady says that they only got a few copies for today. I'm still thinking if Playboy Philippines is testing the waters for the release of their maiden issue.

hmmm? well here are the rave and review. ( read more below and see the photos)

Opening the page really makes me like reading another local sexy-for adult magazine, I just been thrown into another page like I'm into another magazine feat. tech stuff, gadgets, video game, movies. All kinds of content seem to be fused into Playboy Magazine Philippines.

There are reviews, features that you will found also in other magazines. Which is very easy to recognize due to the layout.

If you are familiar with other Playboy magazine publication you will see the difference. It seems that the publisher of our local Playboy blended with the same style of other magazines and go with the flow on how our culture goes. its hard to explain, but its easy to understand because you know that we Filipinos are religious and we have moral values to observe, and I know that they will go with it just not to offend the people - readers or non-readers, religious groups and feminists.


well, how will you react to see Playboy Magazine Philippines without nudity..
hmmm, for their maiden issue, I can see a lot of nudity already, well not all of them. They feature all Pinays who posed for Playboy during their previous issue for the original Playboy Magazine 1968-2005, but the cover girl Priscilla Meirelles is on her sexy photos, while the playmate of the month Weng Santos and Joy Paguran is in a double photo feature with semi nudity. But the interview with them seem so to be less Playboy-ish. I was hoping to see a same interview style like in the original magzine with their profile written with the model's penmanship, with photos from how they started their modeling, and the centerfold is double page back to back - tear if you want to - page.



For other models photos. glad that there are no Photoshop in any part of their body ( you know what i'm talking about)

This is a raw issue for Playboy, I'm still hoping that they will develop more and more pages in the coming issue. Articles are nice focusing with famous people like Chiz Escudero, gadgets for the big boys, tips on mature situation, music and fashion.


the centerfold page

big toast to the publisher and team for bringing this to our country. Might write more about it, since I'm only here at a cafe.

btw, the magazine is priced at Php 200.
