So why bother calling it Playboy?

FOR years, I’ve been hearing that Playboy is coming to the Philippines, but finally next week the Philippine edition of this men’s magazine will hit newsstands.
The funny thing, however, is that the Philippine edition won’t feature frontal nudity, and will in fact be a lot tamer than the Playboy we know.
WTF? So why even bother bringing it here, presumably spending a fortune in licensing? OK, maybe the Philippine publisher is taking to heart the usual statement that “we read Playboy for the articles.”
Anyway, here’s what editor-in-chief Beting Laygo Dolor was quoted as saying:
“I think a lot of the church people, especially the more liberal ones, will appreciate what we are trying to do in terms of quality and content,” said Dolor.
