Volcanoes Make Rounds Online
You can take the Volcanoes down from the billboards along EDSA, but you can never break the spirit! Chos!
It has been a while since the controversial billboards of the Philippine National Rugby Team have been taken down, but the Volcanoes remain unstoppable!
They are now slowly making the rounds in international websites and blogs online. One such website is Manhunt Daily Blog. Manhunt Daily is the blog of the international dating site Manhunt.com. This is what they have to say:
This is the Phillipines’ national rugby team, the Volcanoes. To be a Volcano, you have to be rough, tough, and look exceptionally sexy in briefs. Yeah, they play in their briefs. You would, too. It’s really hot in the Phillipines (sic). There’s a sad joke in here about volcanoes erupting, but we’ll let you handle it.

Another site that showcases the volcanoes is Parisian Boys. It’s a French site so we could barely understand the content. But thanks to Google Translate, here’s a loose translation of what they had to say:
Now focusing even more on the brand Bench, we discover that it is more and more use of sports as it squarely Volcaonoes requisitioned, the national rugby team to pose as underwear!
I’m pretty sure there are other international sites out there who have featured the Volcanoes (maybe I’m just delayed with the news). At least they’re showing some kind of support, unlike our local morally-righteous politicians, and our local sports commissions.
