UNLI-FOOD
FROM THE EDITOR
The first guitar I owned was an off-white

star-shaped electric, like the ones spandex-
wearing ‘80s metal bands played.
I bought it in 1991 from a guy in my neighborhood named Niknok, who used to
gig in Japan as a biyaherong musikero. Gigs abroad for him had stopped by then so
he decided to stay and rent out his music gear instead; in my case, he sold one. The
guitar he offered was a Hondo, which any guy into Japanese guitars would say is a
fairly respectable brand. I had just learned to play guitar and was thrilled my first
would be an electric, even though its shape screamed glam metal Poison when I was
into thrash metal Anthrax.
Niknok sold me the guitar for P2,000. Not bentang adik but close. I sold it a year
later for P2,500 because grunge had just exploded and the guitar suddenly became
an embarrassment. I’ve been in and out of bands for the last 26 years and have had
three guitars after the star. I regret selling it to this day.
So, even though I don’t collect I can fully understand what musician Iman
Leonardo is saying about his relationship with his 500 guitars (Rare Finds,
pp. 46). His obsession is fueled by the distinct nuanced sound made by every guitar,
as though each were his own person. It’s the same mindset we found in the other
collectors—of handmade bicycles, old time radios, and knives—we feature this
month,
As for our cover, we have two women who aren’t obsessed with what they do
as much as it is their way of life. Amanda Villanueva is a pro volleyball player
and Mara Lopez (daughter of ‘80s actress Maria Isabel Lopez) is very much into
surfing outside of being an actress. We caught them in their natural element at
our beach shoot in Batangas.
Right now I play a Franken-Tele—it’s a telecaster with parts from
unknown sources—that’s been with me for 11 years. The guitar knows me
well enough to make me appear to be a half-decent player. I’m not selling
it. Not this time.

While I do appreciate your efforts
in tackling relevant issues like the
attacks on Marawi, maybe you can
just focus on your expertise as a
lifestyle magazine? We can read
current events on the newspaper
and the primary reason why we buy
FHM is for pure entertainment.

ThIS guy gETS IT

It is wonderful to see that a men's
magazine can have stories besides
ones about dating and sex. I love
how FHM is expanding to cover
national issues like the terrorism
in Marawi City. It’s sad that these
stories are not always highlighted
because of the readers’ tendency
to lean towards lighter topics. What
the people need right now is proper
and substantive awareness. I hope
more media outlets will cover the
Marawi City events by giving a large
space on their printed materials or
more airtime in TV and radio.

Just when you thought that your daily fast food trips were going to kill you,
reports of the production of synthetic rice, eggs, and other kinds of food by
Dangerous a Chinese factory, amounting up to 10 million yuan, began circulating on
the Internet. China’s Ministry of Public Security has disclosed that an illegal
eats group has been selling rat, fox, and mink meat posing as lamb since 2009,
mixed with gelatin, carmine, and nitrate to make it look and taste more like
lamb. Best news is that they don’t know where these supplies were sent.
Yum.
Stop the lieS: According to the (NFA) National Food Authority you
can tell fake food by certain characteristics they have—fake eggs look just
like the real thing but the yolks are said to bounce when dropped; you
can burn fake rice to see whether or not it smells like burning plastic; and
telltale signs of fake peas are that when they’re boiled, the water turns
green from the food dye, and the peas don’t become soft. Though, the
NFA insists these fake food aren’t being sold in Philippine local markets.
Surprisingly, we’re not talking about Mocha this time. The country was
shook by the tragic events that took place June 2, 2017 in Resorts World
Fake news Manila. The chaos that it caused wasn’t limited to the actual incident
as social media websites were overloaded with unverified information
as usual coming from sites such as pinoynewsonline and Trending Everyday, which
connected groups such as Isis and Maute to the event. These reports
instigated panic and confusion among netizens.
Stop the lieS: Not sharing unconfirmed information from unreliable
sources is a start, since having all this speculations floating around
may compromise the investigation happening, not to mention putting
unnecessary stress on the love ones of those involved in the incident.
There’s stalking your crush on Facebook, then there’s the Facebook

group ‘Bible Study of Pastor Hokage,’ an online closed group wherein
individuals share private photos of women (and even children) as ambag
Creepers (contributions) to other pastors (members). One incident became viral
because a woman named Czarina Ching came to know that her account,
unite
AMEN
including personal photos and basic profile information, was falsely
presented as though she were a prostitute.
Stop the lieS: Most people have reported such pages only to find
more and more smaller (and arguably more dangerous and perverted)
ones popping out. The PNP has recently released a few practical [though
obvious] tips to protect your account, which include making your account
private, refraining from showing any of your personal information on your
account unless needed, and avoiding accepting friend requests from
strangers.
astroturFing The 2016 US presidential election proved how sought after online support
(popularity is, as candidates invested their time building an online persona that could
convince indifferent voters to their side. Sadly, manipulating the views of
Fight) the public has never been simpler thanks to easily fabricated statistics
from fake supporters.
Stop the lieS: According to Twitter Audit, a website that separates
real people from bot followers, allegedly almost half of Donald Trump’s
followers aren’t real accounts. The program reviews an account’s display
picture, bio, and tweets, or lack thereof to weed out obvious bot accounts
and give you the real estimated following of the person. So better save
yourself the stress of replying to these bot accounts’ stupidity by first
checking if you’re actually conversing with a real person.

This has got to be one of the wildest

and coolest toys coming out this
year. First of all, it’s Lightning
McQueen from Disney and Pixar’s
incredibly popular movie series,
Cars. Which means the car is
beautiful, its detailing is amazing,
and it looks super cool and sleek.
Secondly, the damn thing has
animated eyes, an animatronic
mouth, and emotive suspension.
Which means it will look at you, talk
to you, and shift its weight around,
like it was alive! And last, but
certainly not the least, it’s got Owen
Wilson’s voice responding in emotive
actions and speech as the Piston Cup
Champion. His quirky personality
and distinct voice make this robot
race car triple cool. Our only
complaint is that it can be tricky to
control him just using the app on
your smartphone, plus the range is a
little limited. But all in all, watching
him lean into hairpin turns and
hearing Wilson’s wisecracks makes

(stoma) is formed by drawing the healthy end of the large

abdominal wall and suturing it into place.”
W h y yo u W o u l d n e e d o n e
This is usually needed when a portion of your large intestine
has to be removed either due to cancer, obstruction, or
perforation. In those situations, doctors need to remove
the affected areas of the colon and suture together the
remaining healthy portions.
W h a t i t ’ s r e a l ly l i k e

BRAIN MAPPING
“Brain mapping is the study of the anatomy and function of
the brain and spinal cord through the use of imaging.”
Again, a tumor that affects sensitive parts of your brain like
those for speech and motor coordination. The patient must
be awake so that the medical team can ask the patient to
perform tasks such as speak or move body parts so they
can map which areas of the brain are affected. This also
helps determine the functional capacity of the remaining
areas once the tumor is removed.
“This is otherwise known as “Awake Brain Surgery.” First,
the anesthesiologist provides sedation via gas or intubation
through the nose. While the patient is asleep they saw open
the skull and open the layers above the brain matter. They
attach electrodes to different regions of the brain to map
functioning areas. Then they awaken the patient. Of course,
they provide significant analgesia to ensure no pain is felt.
The patient is then asked to perform tasks while his/her
skull is open and the brain is exposed as they map cerebral
activity…[Basically it’s gross because] your skull is cracked
open. They wake you up. Everyone can see your brain

“Childbirth, also known as labour and delivery, is the
ending of a pregnancy by one or more babies leaving a

Well, as a man you would probably never need one. But
maybe you’ve watched a bunch of movies and want that
happy scene where you stay by your wife’s side the whole
time for that picture-perfect moment when your spawn
pops out of her.
“Everytime na may manganganak na mother meron

Like, dapat magaling ka umiwas kasi you’ll never know
kung kailan lalabas yung dugo. At the same time hindi
ganun ka-pleasant yung amoy sa delivery room kasi
naghahalo-halo na yung amoy ng sweat, blood, urine,
saka ng feces. Sa operating room naman hindi ganun
ka-gore yung experience, parang mas classy and may
grace kasi sa operating room eh! Saka yung paglabas
ng blood is expected, pero regardless of that, gory pa rin
yung experience, especially major surgeries kasi maraming
nawawala na dugo sa patient. But if I have to compare both
experiences, mas gory talaga ang delivery room.”

If you weren’t around before the ‘90s, you probably aren’t aware that a lot of our
daily shoe choices were actually full-fledged sports footwear back then. The Pony
Shooter was an on-court athlete during the ‘70s, but the only time you’d find one
of these used to ball today is when somebody forgets his proper pair with all sorts
of space-age this and that–we imagine that it would probably break more necks
than anything else on the floor though.

Good thinGs need not

Who isn’t a sucker for a good deal? Especially
when we need to stretch our meager sweldo
to cover the ever-rising costs of living. That’s
why Edsa becomes a total hellhole when major
malls have three-day payday sales. That’s also
why we protested loudly when a certain senator
proposed an unli-rice ban in restaurants. Ma’am,
ano pong ginawa ng kanin sa inyo? Okay, we
understand we’re looking at mitigating wastage
here, but still, it’s joy being taken away. So if
unli-rice does disappear, it sure doesn’t hurt to
be prepared. So, we scoured the city for spots
where you can get your fill of unli-food—all as
sinful (or possibly more sinful) as rice.

Boost
The diet is described

as “the natural human
01
diet of our Stone Age
ancestors” according to
the paleodiet.com. No
junk food seems like an
obvious way of eating
healthier, but processed
food also includes
PALE O D I ET grains, dairy products,
processed salt and
sugar that are all part of
a normal diet.
Gains: Having no
calorie restrictions makes
the diet really appealing
to heavy eaters and giving
up junk food and fast food
all together is a great step
towards getting in shape.
“Getting rid of junk food
and replacing them with
whole food helps a person
develop good metabolism
since you’re cutting out
the huge amount of salts,
sugars, and chemical
preservatives junk food
have,” says Whitney Cruz,
US-based registered
nutritionist.
Losses: But is looking
as ripped as a caveman
as easy as following
a prehistoric diet? “If
you really want to lose
weight you have to gauge
for yourself how much
calories and nutrients your
body needs, depending on
your lifestyle. People who
practice Paleo diets are
either prone to overeating
or not eating enough if
they don’t have proper
guidance,” says Cruz.
VerDict: Too risky.
Having no calorie count
and the I-deserve-this
mentality when working
out may give a person too
much freedom.
