Mayor Benhur Abalos of Mandaluyong, Philippines requested the advertiser to remove the sexy billboards of the Philippine Volcanoes Rugby Team.

The team is in their briefs on the billboards of Bench. There are people who are not pleased with the billboards. In a conservative country like the Philippines, seeing these men in their underwear or briefs is a taboo.

The billboards are located in Guadalupe, Mandaluyong, Philippines. The road is a busy area because it is the center of Metro Manila and a lot people are passing by. The billboards create distractions especially to the motorists that passes by.

Even Mayor Sherwin Gatchalian of Valenzuela, Philippines noticed the billboard and tweeted about it. He even talked about it with Mayor Abalos and requested for the removal of the billboards. He said that he is with a kid and had to refrain the kid from looking at the billboard.

Conservatives think that the billboards are inappropriate for public viewing especially for the minors. Others think that in these modern times, these billboards are considered art and that there is nothing wrong about them.

This issue is also a hot topic in social networking sites. Philippine Volcanoes is even trending on Twitter Philippines.

Do you see the billboards as inappropriate or are we just too conservative as a country?
