MANILA (Reuters) - Playboy magazine is launching in the
Philippines next month and will be targeting mature men who like
well-written articles and tasteful photographs of semi-nude
women.
Maxim and FHM are called laddy magazines. We can be called a Dad
magazine," Beting Laygo Dolor, Playboy Philippines' editor, told Reuters on Thursday.
"We are targeting a more mature market, Filipino men, 30 and
above."
"There will be no full frontal nudity."
Mens' magazines with risque photos are already sold in the
Philippines, which despite being a largely Catholic country has a
macho culture that encourages promiscuity.
Although rural areas are more conservative, Manila and other large cities have a relaxed attitude to
sex.
Dolor, who describes himself as a "bad Catholic," said the
religion's values had influenced the decision not to go for a
raunchier look for the magazine.
"I don't want to be ashamed to show it to my mother," said the
father of four. "I have daughters in their twenties. It's something
that I want them to also enjoy. I want them to be proud of their
Dad."
Founded in 1953, Playboy has some 20 local editions around the
world that cater to local taste rather than simply exporting and
translating its U.S. content.
The magazine will be sold across the Philippines at a cost of
199 pesos ($4.76) and 70 percent of the content will be local.
Playboy's first edition in Indonesia in 2006 sparked protests although it had no
nudity and less flesh visible in the issue than many other
magazines on sale in the world's most populous Muslim country. Its
editor was cleared of distributing indecent pictures last year.
Dolor said he didn't expect any uproar when his magazine hits
the news stands on April 3.
"It's supposed to be a very good read," he said.
