WTF of the Day. Seriously, FHM Philippines? Seriously?
“Using” darker skinned models as props for Bela Padilla already borders on wrong but saying that she’s “Stepping Out of the Shadows?”
It’s no wonder skin whitening is still big business here.
Edited to add: “Scriptina, seriously?” (Aquino, 2012)
Edited again to add: Here’s a link to an online petition calling on FHM Philippines to apologize for and recall the March 2012 issue.
I still can’t fathom how anyone can see this cover and say, “Hey, there’s nothing wrong with it at all!”
And where’s FHM Philippines’ official statement regarding the cover? Tick tock tick tock.
HEY, HEY, HEY, AJI.
LOOK, YOU CAN SHOW THIS TO YOUR PROFESSOR.
God, this makes me sick to my stomach. No ingrained racism my butt.

Please do sign the petition. This cover is horrible and should be taken down immediately.
