Cathy Valencia gets SPANK'd!

Jewelz SPANKs...

I saw another ad that violated the Philippine Advertising Code of Ethics along EDSA, Cubao by Cathy Valencia. It had a picture of a woman who looks naked covering her chest with h

er arm and they covered the bottom with a swipe of the color blue to match the background. The billboard was advertising a skin and body center where you can improve your skin. The message of the billboard is: "You can have flawless skin at Cathy Valencia Skin Center," and the photo is relevant to the service, however, I believe that it is indecent to show a naked woman on the billboard. In Article IV, Section 1, # 5 of the Philippine Advertising Code of Ethics, it says,

“Indecent exposure of the human body may be allowed in advertisements when in good taste ad relevant to the product or service being advertised, the situation being portrayed or the audience being addressed.”

The Cathy Valencia billboard violated Article 4, Section 1, number 5 by exposing to much skin! It serves as a distraction and furthermore, it degrades the woman in the billboard ad because she was exposing herself in public. What is private should be kept private and should not be seen by anyone and everyone.

This is NOT the billboard I saw along EDSA in Cubao, but here is a picture of Cathy Valencia's other billboards that do not show a naked woman and would have been better to use in all locations.

Have you seen the Cathy Valencia ad along EDSA, Cubao? What do you have to say seeing a naked woman on a billboard?
