Playboy Philippines‘ premiere issue fails to wow with a lame non-controversial boring cover featuring Priscilla Meirelles.
Priscilla, John Estrada’s current girl, is beautiful and much sexier than she appears to be in the photo. And Playboy fails to capitalize on this. There are definitely more beautiful and sexier poses and photos that could grace Playboy’s first ever issue. BORING!
Playboy seems to be in a quandary regarding their real image. Playboy is known and famous for being a magazine for males specializing on nudity and everything else trashy. At a time, when the Filipinos are almost never shocked by provocative covers of FHM, Maxim, Uno, and even Cosmopolitan, Playboy has failed to shock and wow.
They come off as pretentious and very much… STUPID for coming out with a very lame premiere issue cover.
Again, BORING!

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. go ahead and pray all day but you won’t see any pussy here.

Playboy Philippines is much more than a BOO… 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.
