Jinkee Pacquiao for Mega,  Charice Pempengco for Preview

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) - “Charice [Pempengco] for Preview or Jinkee Pacquiao for Mega? Sino mas maganda pagkakaedit?” asked one netizen who posted a side-by-side comparison of magazine covers featuring Charice and Jinkee on Twitter.

The two celebrities are featured on the covers of the latest issues of fashion magazines Preview and Mega, and reactions online vary from admiration to outright disbelief. The debate has been so hot that Jinkee Pacquiao and MEGA Magazine trended locally on Twitter today, as has Charice Pempengco.

MEGA Creative Director Suki Salvador said on Twitter that Jinkee “is a knockout.”

@jococomendador said, “Ang fierce nila sobra. From Rags to Fierceness.”

“Ang ganda ni Jinkee at ni Charice sa respective magazine covers nila,” tweeted @rockedradio.

However, others begged to disagree.

“EPIC editing>> EPIC #fail… Unrealisticly done.. Just my crunch,” said @chinito_antonio.

“Sina charice ba talaga at jinkee yung nasa preview at mega?” asked @OhMyArkiBoi.

“Nakakabwiset na yung garapalang Photoshop sa mga magazine covers ngayon. Una, Charice on Preview. Ngayon, Jinkee Pacquiao on Mega,” said @nikowl.

Taking a different view on the issue, @AntiMisanthrope posted, “Aren’t you the one[s] who like Hollywoodish beauty? Bakit nagrereklamo kayo ngayon sa covers ni Charice at Jinkee?”

As of posting time neither of the two magazines have issued statements about the controversy.

One previous Photoshop controversy that erupted online was the Department of Public Works and Highways fiasco, where three officials were digitally edited into a typhoon cleanup photo.

Dubbed “The Great DPWH Photoshop Meme,” the photo became so infamous that it was written about by news agencies abroad.

with the leaked before and after picture

i read in an article
which i think is in a link of the site
vvvvv , magazine ,ph
palitan nyo lang ng tuldok yung kama and add(/photoshop)
it might have been altered via photoshop perhaps
with the leaked
before and after picture.
Now, i really wonder if all great bodies of models
in all magazine are photoshopped to perfection.


Faked!!

Does the publishing company gets the approval of Charice and Mommy D that their photos be altered? Look at Mommy D's neck? ANg haba ah paran lang model? At ang face ni Charice eh ibang-iba sa photo ah? Bilugan ang mukha ni Charice at bakit naging chiseled jan, aber? Kung ako kay Mommy D at Charice, idedemanda q ang publishing company n yan sa paglalabas ng pekeng litrato bumenta lang. Sino ang lolokohin nila?


WAHT A WONDERFUL AUTOCAD 3D

WAHT!!! A WONDERFUL AUTOCAD 3D ANIMATED PHOTOS RENDERED IN PHOTOSHOP..HAHAHA..AKALA NYO HA..
good edited...


Fellows, lets be realistic

Fellows, lets be realistic here. It is the magazines credibility at stake in here publishing photoshopped photos of the two.
Let us not lambast the two girls since the blame should be shouldered by the editor and the artist that photoshopped it.
Even if the models agree to their photoshopped photos being in the front of the magazine, their only crime is to wish that they look that way.


mga maka-bagong MICHAEL JACKSON

so what's the next headline grabbing stunt, PROPOFOL???


Shows you

what some people do for greed, money.

Both should be ashamed of their action, that they let rubbish like this go public.


Why even bother using these

Why even bother using these two for a cover? I mean the pictures have been altered way beyond reason that they don't even look like them anymore. The pictures have been Caucasized way too much that they don't even look Asians anymore.


charice

charice! nwala un panga!!
