Sexy billboards of national rugby team Philippine Volcanoes removed along Edsa-Guadalupe Makati



 
About Philippine Rugby

The Philippines played its first international match in 2006. Rugby union in the Philippines was introduced mainly through the large number of British, Australian and New Zealand expatriates living in the country. In 1998 the Philippine Rugby Football Union (PRFU), the national governing body for rugby union in the Philippines, was formed and in 2008 the PRFU gained full membership to the international governing body, the International Rugby Board (IRB).

In December 2005, the Philippine national sevens rugby team captured the gold medal in the 2005 Southeast Asian Games rugby sevens tournament (as a demonstration sport), beating Indonesia, 32-5 in Manila

Here's the behind the scenes of the photo shoot:

Here are the some news related to the issue about Philippine rugby controversial billboard via http://www.pep.ph/

Hiniling ni Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos na tanggalin ang sexy billboard ads ng mga miyembro ng national rugby team na Philippine Volcanoes sa Guadalupe.

Unang lumabas ang balita nang mag-post sa Twitter si Valenzuela Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian kaninang hapon, Hulyo 7, na kinukumpirma ang pagpapatanggal ng apat na billboards ng Bench, kung saan pitong miyembro ng Philippine rugby team ang nakasuot lamang ng underwear.

Ani Mayor Gatchalian, "Good news! Just talked to Mayor Abalos of Mandaluyong. He ordered the removal of the 'men in briefs' billboard! Thank you Mayor Abalos!"

Sa ikalawang post, sinabi niya kung ano ang naging pahayag sa kanya ni Mayor Abalos.

"Mayor Abalos: 'I personally investigated it and I myself was shocked to see it! Thanks again!' Kudos Mayor Benhur Abalos!"

Samantala sa ulat ng ABS-CBN News, nilinaw ni Mayor Abalos na, "Hindi ko pinapaalis, I am just requesting advertisers to have it removed."

Dahil dito, nangako umano ang advertiser na tatanggalin na ang mga naturang billboard.

Sinabi rin ni Abalos na ang mga billboard na kung tawagin ng ilan na "men in briefs" ay hindi kaaya-aya lalo pa't inilagay ito sa "busy area."

Inaalala rin umano niya ang mga bata na maaring makakita ng ad.

"That road is in the center of Metro Manila, ang daming dumadaan," sabi ni Mayor Abalos.

Agad naman niyang nilinaw na hindi isyu rito ang moralidad.

"Baka sabihin nila nagpapaka-moralista ako. I'm not very conservative," sabi ng mayor ng Mandaluyong City.

Bukod sa billboard ng Philippine Rugby Team, titingnan din umano ni Mayor Abalos ang underwear billboard ni Aly Borromeo, ang team captain ng national football team na Phillippine Azkals, na matatagpuan din sa kahabaan ng Edsa.
