Members of the Philippine Volcanoes dropped by It’s Showtime on Thursday to tell everyone that the team will be joining the HSBC Malaysia 7s which happens August 31-September 1, 2013 at the Petaling Jaya Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
But it’s not just that. Eric “Eruption” Tai also announced that he has officially returned to the team and will be joining the said tourney after 2 years of not playing.
Philippine Volcanoes’ Andrew Wolff, Chris Everingham and Eric Tai treated the ladies to a dance number in a Valentine’s Day show titled Love Is In The Air in Makati City.
And they did quite well in the well-choreographed routine. The added comedy was made the audience cheer louder.
Andrew Wolff is certainly on the frontline of the Mister World 2013 competition.
Aside from topping the sports events, he was always put in front of the 48 contestants during their guesting on BBC's The One Show.
Andrew Wolff, the Philippines’ representative to Mister World, has just posted on his official Mister World Philippines Facebook account that he was among the Top 10 in the Sports Finals.
Just like Miss World, Mister World has a points system and one of the activities where the contestants could get points to advance to the semi-finals is the sports competition.
Andrew Wolff is currently in England representing the Philippines in Mister World 2012. Coronation night will be on November 24 at the Kent County Showground in Kent, England.
A member of Philippine Volcanoes, Andrew was personally chosen by Cory Quirino to represent the country in the international pageant. No national competition was held due to lack of time as Miss World Organization only granted Quirino’s Global Quest, Inc. (franchise holder for local Miss World) the permission to send candidates to Mister World only recently.
After being promoted to the Elite Division of the Asian 5 Nations for 2013, members of the Philippine Volcanoes now pose for Bench Body’s Spring/Summer 2012 campaign.
Philippine Volcanoes won against the Sri Lankan team in the HSBC Asian 5 Nations Division 1 championships with the score of 28-18. The win promoted the Volcanoes to the Elite Division of the A5N for 2013.
The game was held at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on April 21, 2012. Before the game, both Philippines and Sri Lanka were tied with 12 points each.

GMA-7 has been revealing the identities of its Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown contestants.
Last night, the first two pairs revealed were Stef Prescot-Gino dela Peña and Geneva Cruz-KC Montero who was revealed last night. Tonight, one of the pairs revealed were the pair of hunky jocks who found themselves in a controversy when they posed for an underwear campaign.
They are Philippine Volcanoes members John Odulio and Arnold Aninion.

Despite the effort made by Dimples Romana by giving her judge's seat to the evicted Showtime judge Ryan Bang, the show's management decided to respect the decision of the voting public by following the outcome of the poll.
In a recent statement made by Showtime director Direk Bobet on Monday, October 10, he said that the rules of elimination doesn't allow another judge to give his/her seat to the eliminated hurado just to make him/her stay longer in the talent show.
Much to the sadness of Ryan Bang's fans, the Filipino-Korean remains burado and will not be seen on the show for the meantime. But, of course, they could always call him back on the show for whatever purpose.
Dimples didn't come back today as judge. As she said last Saturday, she was supposed to leave that day but she just postponed it to give the stage to Ryan (so they knew it beforehand). She sent a letter that was read by the show's director where she apologized for whatever misunderstanding she might have caused by giving her seat to Ryan (which didn't happen, anyway).
Jong Hilario was back on his seat. He's been getting the lowest votes which means the viewers really like him to stay.
New judges include the Malaysian superstar Carmen Su, Philippine Volcanoes players Eric Tai and Chris Everingham, and Luis Manzano. Carmen and Luis have been judges before while it's the first time for the footballers.

| Bench billboards | Lei Alvis, GMA News |
Mandaluyong City Mayor Benhur Abalos told abs-cbnNEWS.com that top local brand, Bench, agreed to take down four of its EDSA billboards featuring seven members of the Philippine National Rugby Team, Philippine Volcanoes, wearing nothing but their Bench Body undies. (related article: Philippine Volcanoes Bare For Bench Body)
The mayor clarified that he didn't order the billboards' removal, he just requested the advertisers to have it removed. Abalos further said that the act is not a moral issue because he's not very conservative himself, but the road is the center of Metro Manila where a lot of people pass. His concern is its inappropriateness to the eyes of the children.

After featuring the Philippine Volcanoes in sexy posters, Bench now releases a poster calendar of the rugby players to support the team.
The calendar costs only P69 but only includes the months of July 2011 up to February 2012.
Proceeds of the poster calendar sale goes to the Philippine Rugby Football Union, so if you're a fan, throw your support to the Volcanoes by buying Bench's Philippine Volcanoes Poster Calendar now!
After Bench released sexy photos and BTS video of the Philippine Rugby Team (Philippine Volcanoes) in their Bench Body undies, the top local brand posted in their Facebook page last Friday a sexy photo of the Philippine Azkals Team Captain Aly Borromeo also in a Bench Body underwear.
Aly Borromeo looks so sexy and confident showing his six packs (and more) clad in just a black Bench Body underwear.
It makes me wonder if the rest of the Azkals would also bare for the cameras. If that happens, will we have hunky athletes walking the runway in the next Bench denim and underwear show? Now, that sounds great!

Members of the Philippine rugby team The Volcanoes were tapped by Bench, one of the country's leading brands, to model for the Bench Body line of underwear. Since most of them were raised in "more liberated" countries, I'm sure they didn't need more prodding to bare their bodies for the camera.
In other countries, it has become a trend for some time now for famous football players to pose naked for calendars. They even sometimes do that for the benefit of some charitable institutions.
With the booming popularity of football in the Philippines comes the trend of the athletes posing naked for the cameras. I actually wonder why it hasn't become a trend with basketball players, when basketball is considered as the top sports in the land.
This Bench pictorial, though, can actually be described as wholesome if we would compare it to something like Dieux du Stade where famous rugby players go all out.
