Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me in Cyberspace!
By: Dona Victorina
The book “Lies My Yaya Should Have Told Me” is a tongue-in-cheek listing of what columnist RJ Ledesma refers to as his “Imaginary Guide to Whine and Women.” Here, RJ’s endless wit brings to life one anecdote where his yaya supposedly whines to him one night while putting him to bed – “Don’t sleep with your hair wet, you will get blind; Close your eyes now…Sleep… or else the ghost will appear. sige…sige; ... or iho, you know I was a super-model before (we made this up)!”
The book is indeed hilarious… Imagine, a yaya imagining herself to have been a “supermodel,” of all things? While not impossible, the sheer unlikelihood of such a tall tale is enough to invoke a guttural guffaw!
A study conducted by London's Science Museum found that the average male tells 1092 lies every year, which is roughly three times a day, compared to the average woman who will lie about 728 times a year — twice a day. However, it seems that although men are the more prolific fibbers, they aren't as concerned about lying as women with 82 percent of females tested saying that lying ate away at their conscience (talk about being the “fairer sex”). This is because most women can lie with a purpose, unlike men who take pleasure in fibs.
A lie with a purpose is one of the worst kinds and the most profitable. A woman’s lies can even make great armies brawl against each other. And since Dona Victorina’s foremost advocacy “is to put key sectors of society under scrutiny to identify any form of pretentiousness,” we would like to ask our readers to tell us if the photo above and corresponding article below are “true-to-form” or could they be another “Lie My Yaya Should Have Told Me in Cyberspace?”
FHM made a list of 100 sexiest women.

FHM made a list of 100 sexiest women.
According to the author of the article below, she legitimately modeled for FHM…
However, an FHM staff said: “FHM staff thought the paid AD will be of losing congressional candidate Vivienne Tan.” The said staff also said the ad-placement was made by a certain ‘Reyn Barnido’.”
Even though the photo does not go anywhere close to the 100 sexiest women in the Philippines, a certain blog insists that “It’s True”… http://barriosiete.com/yes-its-true/...

It’s True
By: Trixie Cruz-Angeles
This March, in celebration of Women’s Month, I will be featured in a men’s magazine known for its racy and sexy photos. So before the issue will come out, and before someone thinks that I have given up my law practice for a more salacious career let me tell you this in advance.
I am one of the women whose pictures appear in FHM’s tenth anniversary edition. Comparatively speaking I have more clothes on than most of the women in it, so before the naysayers start speculating, I’m stating it now, for the record, that it is so because the nature of my profession is more conservative than that of the average FHM model. Or so I’d like to think. Haha.
So why did I pose?
There are multiple answers for this one:
a. I didn’t pose for a men’s magazine, these are all hidden camera pictures!!!
b. Someone told me I COULDN’T do it.
c. Its in my bucket list and I couldn’t wait until I was sixty five, so…
d. The guys need a good laugh, its election season and all the jokes are running for office. Why not one in FHM, di ba?
e. The women’s magazines were all taken.
f. All of the above in varying degrees of truthfulness.
So I’m not an entertainment personality looking to revive my career by going racy, my career is doing fine, thank you very much. And I’m not a struggling actress/singer/host/whatever looking to make a name for myself, the only struggle I’m concerned about is the armed one, and I’m totally against it. But I do like to stand up for certain things. The same way those really good-looking actresses or models pose in lettuce leaves for animal rights, I’m doing the same for other causes, like unjust detention and the oppression of political activists. Minus the “really good looking” part.
For any more information, I guess you have to get the magazine.”

"the sheer unlikelihood of such a tall tale is enough to invoke a guttural guffaw!" :)
gutteral guffaw... hark, hark, hark!
It came straigh from the HORSES MOUTH!
filipinos easily believe lies. they are known to be a "not-very-discerning" country. hence, it's media and even leaders easily beguile the nation. just be more discerning.
is to put key sectors of society under scrutiny to identify any form of pretentiousness:
THIS IS NOT PRETENTIOUSNESS...
THIS IS LUNACY!
actually ang nakakahiya dito FHM! dahil sa ad placement nagmukha silang tanga.
ubos na ang maganda - ito na lang ang na-iwan. kaya pagtiisan at ismid.
tsk tsk... FHM has very bad taste!
guttural guffaw- love the word!
I feel sorry for the lady but she couldnt have been with the 100 sexiest. Yun lang.
complete LUNACY. sana hindi na sumulat ng article sa blog.the photo could have gone un-noticed. sometimes bloggers don't think, that everything they write in cyber-space is subjuect to scrutiny!
goodness. delusions of a hustler indeed. read all the articles and i must say, not credible. AT ALL. how pathetic.
TAMA- It came straigh from the HORSES MOUTH
classic case of LYING without BATTING and EYELASH!
I agree Belinda!
Kapal ng mukha... plain and simple!
sana hindi na sumulat ng article sa blog.
the photo could have gone un-noticed...and they claim to have "media intelligence"?- just like this administration all neophytes!
I agree! the article in the blog made makes the reader suspicious. tsk,tsk. better luck next time.
"I’m doing the same for other causes, like unjust detention and the oppression of political activists."
ANG PLASTIC MO... YUCK!
Atty. Trixie shouldnt have lied because it's really easy to check with summits 500 or so employees!
lawyer ba talaga yan?
Very amateur.
Palpak naman ng abogadong yan. Palaging SABIT!
Even though the photo does not go anywhere close to the 100 sexiest women in the Philippines, a certain blog insists that “It’s True”… http://barriosiete.com/yes-its-true/...
