Philippine Volcanoes Bench Body billboards removed!

The members of the Philippine National Rugby Team aka The Philippine Volcanoes definitely heat up in their sexy Bench Body billboards and the gained praises from people who can appreciate hot-bodied men.

View: Philippine Volcanoes Bench Body Underwear Photos

But Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos couldn't take the heat as he ordered on Thursday the removal of the Philippine Volcanoes' Bench Body billboards installed along EDSA in Guadalupe.

According to Mayor Abalos, his office received complaints from people who found the billboards offensive and asked for their removal.

As of yesterday, the said billboards have already been removed. (Sad face here)

Some people understand Mayor Abalos' move 'coz his city is considered as among the most child-friendly cities in Metro Manila, but others also think the Mayor was kinda "OA" with his decision and have labeled him as "insecure".

Even TV host-actress Ruffa Gutierrez was surprised that the Philippine Volcanoes' sexy billboards were removed. "My gosh!!!! What happened to the Bench Billboards with the Philippine Rugby Team on Edsa?!? They're gone! Disappeared into thin air! :/" she said on Twitter.

Ruffa once had her own sexy billboards for Belo along EDSA where she was shown wearing bikini. Her billboard wasn't ordered to be removed, but reportedly it was banned at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

On Twitter, some members of the Philippine Volcanoes have also expressed disappointment on the removal of their Bench Body billboards.

Ned Stephenson (@NedStephenson): "@ohyesitsmejoh @thahottstepper well its to help promote rugby i dont think its that bad to be honest there's more "mahalay" billboards!"

NedStephenson: "Good Night Everyone!! heard bout the billboards being taken down! but thank you all for still supporting the @PhilippineRugby Ingat =)"

Mykal Duhig (@Mykal_Duhig): "Shame they are taking our billboards down, hey Mayor Abalos did you know about rugby football prior to the billboard? #Ididntthinkso"

Arnold Aninion (@thahottstepper): "@ivervie Surprised at the outcome, but greatful for the support and work Bench did to spread awareness of rugby and for us volcanoes : )"

Andrew Wolff (@IamAndrewWolff): "The Mayor of Mandaluyong is having the #Bench #Volcanoes billboards removed.Dati ba wala bang nakalagay na billboard na my nakabrief?"

IamAndrewWolff: "Puwede bang patanggal din ang sangkatutak na mga billboard ni Mr A. sa Manda.? Kailangan bang makita ka sa bawat kanto? #Volcanoes #Bench"

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband for Century Tuna

Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband reveal their sexier and healthier bods on their first TVC together as Century Tuna endorsers.


In her previous ad for Century Tuna, Angel Locsin was with hunk actor Derek Ramsay, and this time, she's with rumored boyfriend Phil Younghusband of the Azkals.

Did Phil replace Derek as Century Tuna endorser? Or Derek also has a new one coming up?

Even before this new ad of Angel and Phil, Derek has already appeared solo in a Century Tuna Paella TVC.

The new Century Tuna TVC featuring Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband has already started airing on TV today and it's really hot.

And I super love this particular scene of Phil and Angel:

Kilig-much!

Watch the said TVC:


Behind-the-scene video:

Other endorsers of Century Tuna are real-life lovers Piolo Pascual and KC Concepcion for "Corned Tuna" and Aljur Abrenica for Century Tuna Healthylicious Hotdog.

Azkals or Philippine Volcanoes: Who's hotter?

The Philippine Azkals are hot, that's a fact, but some people are saying that the men from the Philippine Rugby Team, who call themselves as the Philippine Volcanoes, are way hotter.

These pictures and video of the Philippine Volcanoes for Bench Body underwear would tell you why...

Kenneth Stern, Patrice Bolivier and Chris Everingham

Oliver Saunders and Nicholas Perry

Ned Stephenson and Michael De Guzman

Jake Letts and Francisco "Kit" Guerra IV

Darran Seeto and Chris Everingham

The Philippine Rugby Team behind-the-scene video for Bench Body:

But wait, the battle of hotness between the Philippine Azkals and the Philippine Volcanoes simply doesn't end up there. It's just starting actually as Bench has also released just last Friday a photo of Azkals' team captain Aly Borromeo also posing in a Bench Body underwear.

Is it just a teaser for more Azkals players stripping down to their Bench Body underwear?

Definitely, the rivalry between the Philippine Azkals and the Philippine Volcanoes has just started and is now heating up.

Jennylyn Mercado makes appearance in Miguel "Migz" Villafuerte's TV ad in CamSur

Miguel Luis "Migz" Villafuerte, who made showbiz headlines back in March as the rumored suitor of PopStar Princess Sarah Geronimo, appears in a TV commercial which has been airing already in his province Camarines Sur (CamSur) since last week.

The TVC uses a "jingle" sung to the tune of Justin Bieber hit "Baby" and also features Kapuso actress-singer Jennylyn Mercado in one short scene, probably shot during Jen's concert there last May 26 for CamSur's Kaogma Festival 2011.

Watch the said TV ad featuring Miguel "Migz" Villafuerte (Jennylyn is at 0:34 part of the video):

Analyzing the song lyrics or the message being imparted on the video, it's like an early election campaign for Migz Villafuerte who reportedly will be running for Governor in CamSur in the 2013 Elections, hoping to succeed his dad L-Ray Villafuerte who's now on his 3rd and last term as CamSur Governor.

If ever elected, Migz Villafuerte, who's 24 years old by 2013, will possibly be the youngest governor ever elected in CamSur beating his own dad's record and even in the whole Philippines (record to beat: 27 years old).

Goodluck to you Migz!

Just last May, Migz was Cosmo.ph's Online Hunk and he gamely posed shirtless there. Check out some of his Cosmo shots taken in CamSur Watersports Complex (CWC):

This September, expect him to be one of Cosmo's 69 Bachelors for 2011.

UAAP Season 74 Opening this July 9 | Meet La Salle Green Archers' roster of players

Simon Atkins will still be the Team Captain of the De La Salle Green Archers in the upcoming UAAP Season 74.

It's now Simon Atkin's 5th Year to play for the Green Archers and for his final year, he will be leading the team in getting back the UAAP championship title which was won by the team 4 years ago during Simon's debut year in UAAP.

Simon is the only one playing on his 5th year among La Salle Green Archers players and we shall see if he will have a great final year in UAAP.

Aside from Atkins, returning players for DLSU Green Archers are Luis Alfonso "Luigi" De la Paz, Jarelan Tampus, Enrique Raphael "Aiki" Herrera, Philip "Papot" Paredes, Almond Vosotros, Mark Jovet Mendoza, Alvin Joseph "Maui" Villanueva, Joshua David Webb, Samuel Joseph "Sam" Marata, Martin John Reyes and Yutien Andrada.

Luis Alfonso "LA" Revilla will make a grand comeback for the Green Archers this UAAP Season 74 after missing out two seasons.

But definitely the team's new additions next season excite me the most. These photos would tell you why...

Roldan "Dan" Sara


Alfonso "Ponso" Gotladerafor


Arnold Van Opstal (Fil-German, stands 6'8")

So excited to see them play!

Not in pictures but also making his debut for the Green Archers is Norbert Torres. (Sorry, can't find a picture of you.)

I hope UAAP Season 74 will bring back the parade of players with their muses. Last year, there were no muses, but instead achievers from each school marched alongside the team captains.

For DLSU, Team Captain Simon Atkins escorted Enchong Dee during Season 73 Opening and let's all hope that for the new season, muses will be back and Atkins definitely would love to have Kim Chiu on his side as his muse. (Posible kaya?)

The UAAP Season 74 Opening Ceremonies will be held this July 9, that's a Saturday, at the Marikini Sports Center and will be aired live still on Studio 23.

Lin Li Ying: Wu Chun's rumored wife

Lin Li Ying (林麗瑩) is reportedly the wife of Taiwanese heartthrob Wu Chun (photo) and mother of his 4-month-old baby.

A member of the Taiwanese boyband called "Fahrenheit", Wu Chun is popular not only in Taiwan but also in other parts of Asia including the Philippines.

Three Taiwanese dramas starring Wu Chun were shown here in the Philippines: "Hana Kimi" and "Romantic Princess" both in 2008, and "Hot Shot" in 2009.

Now 31 years old, Wu Chun is being rumored as married to a woman named Lin Li Ying, also 31, and allegedly they already have a 4-month-old baby girl.

According to an article from xinmsn (http://entertainment.xin.msn.com/en/celebrity/buzz/asia/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4942783) yesterday, June 16, quoting a report from a Hong Kong tabloid, Wu Chun and Lin Li Ying, his girlfriend for 15 long years (really?), got engaged in 2008 and they eventually married a year after.

Reportedly, Lin Li Ying gave birth to Wu Chun's baby only last February in Brunei.

Wu Chun is yet to react on the issue but his manager Lu Shu Juan is already denying the allegation on his behalf.

"The person in the picture is Wu's sister-in-law! They even got the name wrong!," Lu Shu Juan told channelnewsasia.com, "He is flying around every day, where would he find the time to get married?"

For his fans out there, were you sad to hear about Wu Chun getting married and already a father? (I'm sure most of you aren't happy with that rumor.)

Wu Chun already visited the Philippines in July 2008 along with fellow Fahrenheit member Calvin Cheng to promote "Romantic Princess".

He also has a Taiwanese movie coming up entitled "My Kingdom" with Barbie Hsu (San Cai of "Meteor Garden") and Han Geng (former Super Junior member).

Mikael Daez photo scandal comes out

Mikael Daez alleged photo scandal has hit the web more than a month after he was rumored having such on the internet last April.

The photo scandal shows a guy who looks so much like Mikael Daez videotaping his own naked self.

Mikael Daez's alleged photo scandal was first uploaded this morning via the blog Fashion Pulis!.

The blog author himself is unsure if the guy in the photo scandal is really Mikael Daez or just photoshopped to make it appear he was doing a scandalous thing.

What do you think guys?

Mikael Daez is a 23-year-old model who successfully made a shift to acting just recently when he played Marian Rivera's leading man on GMA 7's Spooky Nights Presents: Bampirella and soon on the epicserye "Amaya".

He's also making his big debut in the movies via the 2011 remake of "Temptation Island" which will be shown this June.

Andrew Wolff is Showtime's new "hurado"

Andrew Wolff is one of the two new judges or "hurado" on ABS-CBN's Showtime this week, starting today, Monday, May 23.

Last Saturday, two judges were eliminated or were made "burado" and they were Green Rose actor Janus del Prado and Mara Clara star Kiray Celis, after getting more than 25% EVICT votes.

The two judges left were Ryan Bang, who's now on his 30th week as Showtime judge, and Regine Angeles on her 3rd week.

It was Andrew Wolff himself who made the spoiler on Twitter when he posted yesterday:

@iamandrewwolff: "Guys, confirm na po. Hurado po ako bukas sa #Showtime First time po akong kakanta sa harap ng mga tao! Pasensya na kung hindi maganda! :p"

Andrew, who's considered among the "yummiest models" in the country, also shared on Twitter how excited he is to sing live and dance like Justin Timberlake for the Madlang Pipol, which he will be doing for the very first time.

But Andrew immediately deleted that post last night. (Probably he was told to delete it so as not to spoil the show's episode today.)

Unfortunately, I was able to read it last night haha.

Andrew Wolff as Showtime judge could be an early promotion for the movie "Private Benjamin" topbilled by Showtime resident judge Vice Ganda and also stars Andrew Wolff.

LATEST UPDATE
The other new "hurado" is the newly-crowned Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 2011 Shamcey Supsup.

Vica Ganda and Andrew Wolff, Supsupan na!!! Bang Bang Regine!!! That's the set of judges on Showtime for this week.

Sam Concepcion and Coleen Garcia: Pool Hotties!

Sam Concepcion and Coleen Garcia were caught so sweet together, sharing an intimate moment by the pool.

The two sizzled in the sun as they shot a scene as Marc Pedroza and Monique Castillejo for ABS-CBN's teen-oriented program "Good Vibes".

Sam was shirtless while Coleen was wearing a 2-piece swimwear, and as seen on these pictures, the two apparently enjoyed shooting their moment together.

They're looking so good together, aren't they?

Coleen Garcia is also most familiar to viewers as Matina in the Nestea TVC Series with Neil Coleta as Nicos.
