last week, i was amusedly watching the reactions aired on tv regarding the launch of playboy philippines. i can’t understand why people make so much fuss about it. they say it degenerates people’s sense of morality? ah, and those gyrating scantily clad girls on a noontime tv show don’t? what about those politicians who blatantly steal from the nation? is that the sense of morality the nation should emulate? or should we idolize celebrities who openly and proudly admit they go to vicky belo for more than just acne treatment? a few years ago, you are scorned if people find out you went for cosmetic surgery. now, if you listen to the celebrities endorse belo, it’s as if you’re not worth your salt if you’ve never had a vanity op done. is this the sense of values we should try to encourage our people to have?

at the end of the day, it’s literature. it may sell like pancakes, it may flop. if people would rather leaf through playboy than go through more distasteful material in the national papers or television, so what? as if the country has no other more pressing problems to tackle.
