Press Release

PLAYBOY Philippines PRESS RELEASE FOR MAY 2009 Continuing the momentum from their successful 1st Anniversary issue, Playboy, the foremost men’s lifestyle magazine, pays tribute to the homeland with features on the best the Philippines has to offer! Movie and TV personality Aiza Marquez is the cover girl in a pictorial showcasing our country’s natural beauty, Portrait of a Filipina.

Readers are taken on a tour with Playboy’s look at some of the Philippines’ 7107 Destinations, while New Tastes in Old Manila are found to delight the palate with unique spins on local culinary favorites. Playmate of the Month Suan Javinez lets us fly the friendly skies and Unsung, Unheard is an in-depth look at the national sport that never was: Arnis.

Managing Editor Mikhail Lecaros visits the factory and showroom of internationally renowned furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue, and rounding out the issue is an exclusive, frank 20 Questions interview with Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Ace Durano on tourists, politics and Filipino hospitality. Also included is Hollywood funnyman Seth Rogen’s riotous Playboy Interview, along with all the regular men’s lifestyle sections and content that have made Playboy a household name.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
HOMEGROWN I’ll be honest: Following up the bonanza that was last month’s Anniversary issue wasn’t easy. Whereas our April was a tribute to the tenets that have made PLAYBOY an international icon (namely, beautiful women, lifestyle features, meaningful articles, insightful interviews, beautiful women), for May, the team decided to play things a little closer to home by highlighting the wonders of the Philippines. At any rate, we weren’t about to sit on our laurels, producing features on local travel, food, furniture, martial arts (arnis), topped off with Tourism Secretary Joseph ‘Ace’ Durano himself answering our 20 Questions.

Former flight attendant Suan Javinez proves old habits die hard, taking flight as our Playmate of the Month, and bringing everything together into one beautiful package is PLAYBOY regular Kristine Soguilon’s stunning cover of TV pesonality Aiza Marquez - the story behind which, apparently, is an adventure in and of itself. To those who thought we were tapped out, nothing could be further from the truth. To the faithful, sit back, relax and enjoy, we’ll see you again next month!

ADAM PENN Editor-in-Chief PLAYBOY FACTS In 1953, Hugh Hefner created PLAYBOY and, in the process, set the standard by which all subsequent men’s magazines would be judged. Irreverent, yet never immature; Sexy, yet never lewd, PLAYBOY would deliver on its promise of being the ultimate men’s lifestyle magazine, featuring entertainment, politics, culture, humor and sex - all presented with a sophistication and intelligence uncommon to men’s publications before or since.
