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.
