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 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.

Bianca Paz controversial calendar photo and video surface

Bianca Paz, gf of Andrew Wolff and ex-gf of Polo Ravales, got disqualified from Bb. Pilipinas 2011 pageant allegedly because of a sexy calendar photoshoot she did 2 years ago.

Mykiru finally has the photo plus a video of Bianca Paz which allegedly led to her disqualification from the pageant, and you judge for yourself if the Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. indeed made the right decision to disqualify her.

Here's a video of the pictorial:

The photo of Bianca was for a 2010 Calendar Collection of RAN E-Games, an online game publisher, where she was the Calendar Girl for the month of December.

Aside from Bianca, other familiar names in the calendar were Maureen Larrazabal's sister Raine, Mossimo Bikini Summit '09 finalist and "D'Survivors" actress Darlene Anderson, reigning Miss Philippines Earth-Air Rene Rosario McHugh, FHM Sexiest #68 for 2010 Abby Poblador and StarStruck V Top 20 contestant Jeramie Padolina.

Prior to Bianca, Grendel Alvarado and Jen Oliver were also disqualified from Bb. Pilipinas 2011 allegedly because of these naked photos:

The photoshoot was only a challenge for Philippines' Next Top Model 2007 contest. They were asked to pose as if it was a campaign for a breast cancer awareness.
