Philippine Playboy first girl and Ms. Earth 2004 winner Priscilla Meirelles (3-L) along with Playboy playmates and bunnies hold the first copy of Philippine Playboy edition during a launching ceremony in Manila, Philippines, 02 April 2008. A Philippine edition of Playboy men's magazine will hit the newstands tomorrow, but without the nude women that graced the pages of its western counterparts, the local editor in chief Beting Laygo Dolor said. The predominantly Roman Catholic Philippines would be more tolerant toward Playboy than neighboring Indonesia, where the magazine was met with violent opposition from Islamic groups Dolor added.
