LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER: A NEW BOOKAZINE FROM X-RAY!

While X-RAY#3 is still in the works, we've decided to launch a new
bookazine series that promises to be not only different but more
daring and sexy than anything we've ever done before.

I'm proud to introduce CLIMAX.

CLIMAX is about ordinary men in their most provocative form. The
bookazine pushes the limits in male photography but still maintains
shots and concepts that are classy and well done. We've wanted to
come out with a publication like this for so long and we think this
is the prefect time. Though we love working with celebrities, CLIMAX
allowed us to do shots beyond what we usually are allowed to. We are
glad that we were able to work with very professional and open-minded
models.

You may find the models in CLIMAX quite familiar. The models were
selected from the men who starred in Viva's PROVOQ video. The video
became such a hit in town. A lot of people wanted to see more of
them so we decided to have them appear in the first issue of CLIMAX.
Who can better define the word "provocative" than these men? And
they did not disappoint. If you liked the pictures in the video,
then check out their new photos specially shot for CLIMAX. These men
took things to the next level.

We hope that you will support our new bookazine as much as you've
supported all our other products. We've already gotten your trust in
terms of quality. Expect this product to meet and exceed your
expectations. CLIMAX comes in a 9 x 9 format, an inch smaller than
our regular X-RAY issue and retails for P380. We've made CLIMAX
smaller because we wanted X-RAY to still be our mother title. As
usual, this maiden issue has a limited print run so go out and buy
your issue before it runs out. We intended it to be this way. We
know this will become yet another collector's item similar to X-
RAY#1. CLIMAX is now available in store starting today.

Visit the photo section of this e-group to see who among the PROVOQ
men have been included in this upcoming issue of CLIMAX. For CLIMAX,
we will not be posting pages like what we normally do for X-RAY.
This is because most of the photos are very sensitive. (You'll know
what I mean when you buy the bookazine.) I'm sure you will agree
that after looking through their photos, you'd want to see more and
more. That's what CLIMAX is really about.

Sincerely,

Danio Caw
PUBLISHER

P.S. We have some changes in our distribution channels. We will no
longer be available in PAPYVORE but instead we've added BOOKSALE to
our list of outlets. I know a lot of you buy their copies from the
Papyvore's Robinsons Manila branch so instead, get your copies from
BOOKSALE located at the ground floor or in their branch at SM
Manila. Hope that you spread the word among your friends where
CLIMAX can be bought: CV Magazine Landmark Department Store, Bufini,
Fully Booked, Bibliarch, Booksale, Filbars and Eddiemar (Iloilo City).
