It was ad censorship chorva. The holding of hands is not malaswa perse pero it's the holding of hands ng 2 lalaki that suggests they are in a romantic relationship ang na censor ng ad censorship chorva.
Sorry, you misunderstood me. What I was saying is that nobody vandalized it. The original billboard could not have been approved by the ad board so what Bench did is to censor the hands... Hence, it was indeed censored. I'm not for it or against it... I'm just saying it was censored and not vandalized by someone. :)
I think it was because of the rings that they are wearing... Signifying they are married which is clearly not accepted in our country. I am for gay rights and all but then respect also the law of the country you are in.
it's horrible that it's censored 'cause we're in the 21st century. pero i'm for banning ALL billboards. i'd rather have more trees there. when you're driving, it looks like you're watching TV with all the faces of overexposed starlets like anne curtis and kris aquino. they're all ugly and irritating, and they make you less focused on driving.
i'm for having ads like that inside malls though, where they belong.
Nice campaign. It was approved by the ad board (ASC) for installation in Guadalupe, but to create an uproar in social media, Bench censored the hands so people will see the difference between the mock-up vs. actual. Galing ng Bench stirring people's emotions. I know it was approved- I work in ASC.
It's not being homophobic dear, it's called MORALITY. And having morals doesnt mean we lose respect. Like u even us have stand regarding the third sex, and not patronizing it means we have morals but we respect them.
Sinasabi mo po ba sa amin na buong buhay mo wala ka pong ginawang immoral? Ikaw ay isang perpektong nilalang na walang bahid ng pag kakamali? Walang bahid ng malisya? Na nagmamahal ka din ng unconditional kagaya ng pagmamahal sa atin ng Diyos?
Kung "oo" po ang sagot niyo sa lahat ng aking katanungan, nais po kitang makilala ng personal para matutunan ko po paano maging isang perpektong tao kagaya niyo.
If ASC did approve the billboard with hands not censored, and upon installation the marketing team of Bench painted over their hands to create this online sensation, then sino ang nangloloko sa atin?
This is so saddening. Why should it be vandalized? No. If the censored thing is true, why is there a need for it to be censored in the first place? There's no law that has been violated by this ad. It promotes equality. Does law forbid that? To have equal rights for all? I guess not. What the law forbids is discrimination. People with courrpt minds wouldn't understand maybe because they do not know what life and love is all about. Homosexuality has never been a choice. Other people who don't understand don't actually need to "understand".. All they have to do is to just RESPECT.. #PaintTheirHandsBack
We do respect and accept LGBT but you also have to RESPECT the children who doesnt know or understand this kind of thing. the sae thing why we protect them from kissing or violent scence.they have no VOICE to speak for themselves or to protect their inocence
They're just holding hands, I don't see anyone censoring models who are practically naked posing in billboards and I also don't see anyone censoring billboards of heterosexual couples holding hands, why should it be censored when it is between two people of the same sex? And why shouldn't children have the right to know about homosexuality? I don't see why it will "stain" their innocence at all.
Anon 10:15, ano'ng masama sa dalawang taong nagmamahalan ng tapat? Ang mas mahirap i-explain sa mga bata ay yung mga di makuntento sa isang relasyon at nambababae/nanlalalaki ng kabi-kabila.
Filipinos are obviously not yet ready to this phenomenon. To promote such kind of love will eventually ruin our morality and humanity. What will happen to our offsprings? What God teaches us? Please People i beg you all to have a moment of reflection. Our world nowadays is going and going worst and like hell. Be ourselves the start of good anew.
The ignorance in this world is so prolific. Homosexuality is as much a choice as your hair color. Nobody is "promoting" anything. It's called tolerance. There are other things ruining morality in this world, and it's not love nor acceptance. Get a grip. -brainiac
It is not the sinners we condemn. It is the sin itself. We taught kids about family and procreation. tapos ito makikita sa billboards. Dapat pinabaklas na lang. Like i said, i dont hate gays or lesbians, its the immoral act i hate.
"To promote such kind of love will eventually ruin our morality and humanity"? Who the hell are u to stand there and say that their kind of love will ruin OUR humanity??? It is easy to pass judgement and hide behind the mask of religion to make it seem like you're just a good little catholic/christian person but in reality, you are just as hateful and ignorant as any of those crazy religious fanatics around the world. Live and let live. D ka nila iniistorbo. Kung d kaya ng utak mo na maging tolerant sa kapwa (btw, Jesus said love thy neighbor. He didn't specify, "unless they're gay!), go back to the cave where you've been living in all these years. We don't need another intolerant, bible thumping idiot running around promoting inequality.
God is teaching you not to judge other people Anon355. So I also beg you to have a moment of reflection and have love and compassion to others even if you don't understand their preferences. It's time to start giving our LGBT brothers and sisters the freedom that they deserve. It's time for us to learn, what God is really teaching us, not what our religion is telling us. #toroyAkalaKoChismisanDito
There are some Christian homosexuals and there are those that desire deliverance from homosexuality. Rather than trying to be God and pass judgement on those individuals, a better option may be to offer prayers to those struggling with their homosexuality
Wow... Dear if you're so keen about morality I think you are in the wrong website.. you shouldn't be here in the first place reading gossips?! Practice what you preach!!
Homosexuality is as much a choice as your hair color~~~~~ ...napakababa naman ng tingin mo sa sexual preference mo. kung ano ang binigay ng Diyos sa iyong gender, dapat tanggapin mo at maging masaya ka. may mga bagay na hindi binigay ng Diyos sa iyo kasi hindi dapat.
I respect the LGBT community but to be honest, I would still prefer ng normal na buhay...you know, that boy and girl thingy...and not same-sex relationship. - IMO
Kaya hanggang ngayon, HINDI pa rin ako naniniwala na "tanggap na ang kabaklaan sa Pilipinas" hanggat may mga ganitong mga pangitain. Hindi pagtanggap ang tawag sa ganito kundi isa lamang na pangungunsinte. Kinukunsinte lang ng mga Pilipino ang kabaklaan pero sa panahong ito ay wala pa rin ang pagtanggap. I DISAGREE THE BENCH AD CENSORSHIP, BUT I RESPECT THE DECISION.
Kaya walang unlad ang pinoy masyadong backward thinker yung iba! HELLO 2015 na po! NKKKKKKLKA! Bilang member ng 3rd sex nakaka'offend lang yung censorship. Ang lala maka'Homophobe!
Eh kung morality lang ang pinagbabatayan, eh di moralidad ba ang pagboto ng mga pulitikong obviously corrupt at maraming asawa? Naku, i smell HYPOCRISY!!
For me its not about morality and being equal.this is a billboard ad EVERYONE can see it including children and being a mother you would not want your kid(s) to asks you questions why two guys are holding hands.i have gay frends and i love them they were even ninong and ninangs of my children and i remember my 4yrs old son asked me about his ninang not because she looked like tomboy but maybe something he sensed diff about her and believe me its not easy to explain to an innocent child. Sana lang Lgbt should understand ..its not about being ready its about being cautious
cautious about what? your pretentiousness is leaking by the way. how about you raise your child to be educated and aware instead of ignorant and intolerant?
I personally do not see anything wrong with the ad, but obviously e hindi pa talaga handa ng Pilipinas sa ganito. nakakalungkot pero yun ang realidad.
I admire Bench for this concept, pero sana napanindigan nila, or sana kinlaro muna nilang mabuti ang lahat before inilabas ang mga billboards/ads na yan.
Actually nung una kong nakita akala ko mag-brother. Di ko nakita yung holding hands. Shongaers lang. Anyway, ano yun sinadya ng Bench (may nagreklamo?) or may isang taong walang magawa ang nakialam ng billboard ng may billboard?
Sa mga nabasa kong comments, mas naniniwala ako na sinadya ng bench yung pag-censor para pansinin online. Hello, ang hirap kayang i-vandal ng billboard, taas taas, laki laki pa. tsaka kung talagang homophobic dapat sinama yung mga t-bird. Atsaka ang ganda ng pagka-vandal, perfectly shaped sa mga kamay. Kung taong galit lang gumawa niyan for sure pangit at sobrang punit at disfigured yung pagka-vandal.
Napaka righteous nang gumawa nyan. Hiyang hiya ako. There's nothing wrong, offensive, and bad about guys holding hands. God! Why are filipinos like this?!
hiyang-hiya rin ako sa u. hindi kailangang maging righteous pero dahil hindi normal yan, hindi dapat ipangalandakan. lalo na ang laki-laki at makikita ng mga bata. ikaw ba pag nagka-anak, gugustuhin mo agad na maging gay or lesbian siya? come to think of it...I don't want to offend anyone pero siguro kahit sinong magulang, ang gusto, babae o lalaki ang anak niya...just my two cents.
Actually in most of first world countries, these things are treated normal. But we're in the Philippines so obviously, utak biya talaga ang tao pagdating sa discussion ng equality and acceptance. I mean ikaw pa lang, isa na sa mga ebidensya.
What? So pag ang lalaki nag holding hands, bakla na agad? Bakit girls pag nag holding hands, hindi naman tibo agad ah...It's because you are imposing gender roles, na hindi pwedeng maging maging affectionate ang lalaki unlike sa mga babae. I mean oo mga bakla yung pinapalabas sa billboard, pero yung statement niyo na hindi normal yung holding hands ng mga lalaki dahil nag eequate ito sa pagiging bakla is so ignorant. Be open minded please.
@6:07 i-compare talaga ang holding hands ng babae sa babae? It's normal for girls to be touchy sa girlfriends nila, that's how girls show compassion para sa kaibigan. Off talaga pag lalaki sa lalaki ang magka-holding hands. Ask a straight guy kung ano feeling nila pag nakipagholding hands sa kapwa straight guy niya, you'll know the answer.
That's what Mama Mary warned us about, the true good will be turned the bad ones. And the bad ones wil be viewed as good. People will become confuse. People hate the bible because they don't wish to hear the truth, it will go against what "they think" is good for them. Hurt me with the truth, don't comfort with lies.
ano ba TRUTH na pinagsasabi mo? ang kamuhian ang kapwa tao? yon ba ang sinabi sa bibliya? di ba sinabi love one another, love your neighbor unconditionally? ang mahirap kasi sa atin, pinupuna lang natin ang mali pero ang totoo ang dami natin ginagawang mali sa bibliya pero tanggap na ngayon.
feeling ko nga bench talaga ang nagpaint nito kasi taga guadalupe ako hindi ako nagkakamali hindi yan sinabay nilagay dun sa tatlong billboard e siguro mga after a day or two bago nilagay yan ngayon gets ko na baka nga nagkaroon ng issue kasi censored keme keme,,,
nakakaloka kasi kamay lang yan hindi naman malaswa sa mata, the whole picture itself e pleasant naman sa mata.. mas malaswa pa nga yung mga phil volcanoes nun di ba? pero pininturahan ba dun sa may umbok hindi naman di ba???! HAHAHAHA,, nakakaloka!
prang ang panget ng cnbe ni fifth solomon regarding this one,,kita q kc sa ig nya na repost nya to and cnbe nya na mangmang ang mga pinoy,,,i know may karapatan ang lahat ng tao pero prang foul lng ang cnbe nya
Nope. He's right. Mangmang talaga ang mga pinoy. While the the first world countries are starting to break these walls, ang pilipinas bumabalik sa 1800's.
10:35 mga gay people lang makakaunawa kay Fifth. Hindi naman kasi tlga tama na ipag pilitan ng mga yan na tanggapin ng mga tao ang ganyan. Wala naman masama kung gay at marami naman silang contribution sa mundo pero sana yung relationship nila sa kapwa lalaki wag na ipangalandakan. Discreet na lang para disente tingnan.
I don't even see that at censorship... that's mockery. Love signifies unity and by concealing it - i doubted that Filipinos can be united anymore. Hindi lang sa usaping sexual orientation - halos sa lahat ng bagay... political, estado sa buhay, religion... obviously sa buong mundo naman. Pero yung i-blacken ang isang imahe that shows love and caring - it only proves one thing - mababaw at makitid ang pagtingin ng censorship committee sa tunay na halaga ng pagpapahalaga sa kapwa.... nandun na ako sa pedeng itanong ng mga bata 'y two guys are holding each others hands' --- na minsan naging tanong ko na rin nung bata ako sa sarili ko dahil wala naman akong mapagtanungan --- pede naman saguting its because they love each other.... cguro its about time na kahit sa kabataan ipamulat na sa kanila ang context ng pagmamahal.... na malawak ang sakop nito ... di man kayang ipalawanag sa isang upuan lang --- pero ang bigyan sila ng malayang at di mababaw na paliwanag ay sapat na para maintindihan nila ang ibig sabihin ng nasa larawan. Hindi ito dala ng bagong henerasyon o panahon - dahil matagal na ang same sex relationship.... its about time to tell and show everyone na ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE --- the action might have cause lots of reactions - pero kung may pagtanggap lang sana at malinaw sa lahat - wala sanang diskusyon pa. Thanks FP.
Wala kang magagawa. Taboo pa yan sa ibang mga pilipino. Wag mo asahan na matanggap agad yan ng mga tao dahil imposible! Maybe someday mangyari yang gusto mo.
very hypocritical naman ang mga tao dyan. kung makagawa nga kayo ng indie/gay film, inam tapos yan ganyang kaayos na kuha, nag iingay kayo. hwag maysadong ignorante.
Kung abot lang ng mga tao billboard na yan hindi lang kamay ang may pintura. Buong billboard bababuyin kasi di naman yan tlga katanggap tanggap sa karamihan.
Pustahan, kahit anong mangyari d maayos tong argument n to
as long as an individual stand on his or her own belief, ipaglalaban at ipaglalaban nya yun and we all have different stands on this,
people keeps talking about love but what are we doing here we're kinda sharing hate here people are angry and last time I checked it has nothing to do with love
so, whoever did this, if his goal is to make such an uproar, he did very well, but the love thing in the slogan, I don't think so
Kaloka ito ha? Holding hands lang eh pina-censored samantalang ang mga billboard ng mga topless models o kaya mga naka-sexy outfit na halos kita ang kaluluwa, walang ban-ban. Kung totoong pakana ng Bench ito para mapag-usapan ang billboard, siguro naman masaya na po kayo ano?
Normal ba ang mag holding hands ang dalawang lalaki in public? Syempre para syo ok lang kasi gay ka pero sa nakakarami hindi pa nila tanggap. Dadating din panahon na maaaccept ng mga tao yan pero wag kang mainis sa mga taong hindi pa ready sa ganyang klaseng ads.
With or without this ad, same sex relationshis in the Philippines is becoming more open and liberal. this action won't be able to stop, or even minimize that.
let's face it mali ang "intimate" relationship bet. 2boys or 2girls. But its the same with telling a lie, stealing etc. lahat tayo makasalan, so sino tayo para sabihin na higit mas makasalan ang isa? Kaya lang sana huwag ng ilagay pa sa ad.
It wasn't vandalized. Upon set-up pinatanggal na talaga ng ad board yan. Stop making rumors. It was indeed censored.
ReplyDeleteCensored? Kamay lang yan. OA much ka!

DeleteI don't even see that at censorship... that's mockery. Love signifies unity and by concealing it - i doubted that Filipinos can be united anymore. Hindi lang sa usaping sexual orientation - halos sa lahat ng bagay... political, estado sa buhay, religion... obviously sa buong mundo naman. Pero yung i-blacken ang isang imahe that shows love and caring - it only proves one thing - mababaw at makitid ang pagtingin ng censorship committee sa tunay na halaga ng pagpapahalaga sa kapwa.... nandun na ako sa pedeng itanong ng mga bata 'y two guys are holding each others hands' --- na minsan naging tanong ko na rin nung bata ako sa sarili ko dahil wala naman akong mapagtanungan --- pede naman saguting its because they love each other.... cguro its about time na kahit sa kabataan ipamulat na sa kanila ang context ng pagmamahal.... na malawak ang sakop nito ... di man kayang ipalawanag sa isang upuan lang --- pero ang bigyan sila ng malayang at di mababaw na paliwanag ay sapat na para maintindihan nila ang ibig sabihin ng nasa larawan. Hindi ito dala ng bagong henerasyon o panahon - dahil matagal na ang same sex relationship.... its about time to tell and show everyone na ALL IS FAIR IN LOVE --- the action might have cause lots of reactions - pero kung may pagtanggap lang sana at malinaw sa lahat - wala sanang diskusyon pa. Thanks FP.
ReplyDeleteWala kang magagawa. Taboo pa yan sa ibang mga pilipino. Wag mo asahan na matanggap agad yan ng mga tao dahil imposible! Maybe someday mangyari yang gusto mo.
Deletewalang someday........hindi yon mangyayari dahil sa relihiyon natin. homophobia exist because of religion.
Deletevery hypocritical naman ang mga tao dyan. kung makagawa nga kayo ng indie/gay film, inam tapos yan ganyang kaayos na kuha, nag iingay kayo. hwag maysadong ignorante.
ReplyDeletePero di naman basta basta napapanood ng mga bata yung mga indie films na sinasabi mo unlike yang nasa billboard kitang kita ng lahat.
Deleteito na naman tayong mga Filipino... pa-involved sa kung ano ang usong issue. lahat preachers. di pa ba nagsasawa? hayyy...
ReplyDeletedapat yung mukha ang pininturahan
ReplyDeleteKung abot lang ng mga tao billboard na yan hindi lang kamay ang may pintura. Buong billboard bababuyin kasi di naman yan tlga katanggap tanggap sa karamihan.
DeletePustahan, kahit anong mangyari d maayos tong argument n to
ReplyDeleteas long as an individual stand on his or her own belief, ipaglalaban at ipaglalaban nya yun
and we all have different stands on this,
people keeps talking about love but what are we doing here
we're kinda sharing hate here
people are angry
and last time I checked it has nothing to do with love
so, whoever did this, if his goal is to make such an uproar, he did very well, but the love thing in the slogan, I don't think so
Kaloka ito ha? Holding hands lang eh pina-censored samantalang ang mga billboard ng mga topless models o kaya mga naka-sexy outfit na halos kita ang kaluluwa, walang ban-ban.
ReplyDeleteKung totoong pakana ng Bench ito para mapag-usapan ang billboard, siguro naman masaya na po kayo ano?

Normal ba ang mag holding hands ang dalawang lalaki in public? Syempre para syo ok lang kasi gay ka pero sa nakakarami hindi pa nila tanggap. Dadating din panahon na maaaccept ng mga tao yan pero wag kang mainis sa mga taong hindi pa ready sa ganyang klaseng ads.

Tama. OA masyado holding hands lang naman e
DeleteWith or without this ad, same sex relationshis in the Philippines is becoming more open and liberal. this action won't be able to stop, or even minimize that.
ReplyDeleteGoodluck lgbt tignan natin ang powers nyo na ipilit ang same sex churva sa pinas hahahaha!
ReplyDeletelet's face it mali ang "intimate" relationship bet. 2boys or 2girls. But its the same with telling a lie, stealing etc. lahat tayo makasalan, so sino tayo para sabihin na higit mas makasalan ang isa? Kaya lang sana huwag ng ilagay pa sa ad.
ReplyDeleteLegalize same sex marriage but don't allow same sex divorce/annulment! Pagdaanan niyo rin ang hirap sa paghihiwalay ng mga hetero couples!
ReplyDeleteaba matinde!
