A controversial photo of Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson is making rounds on the Internet.

Singson, in an interview with GMA News, admitted that the photo is genuine.

However, he explained that it was taken during a commercial shoot for an alcoholic drink.

He said the theme of the shoot was a party scene and most of the women in the photo are Brazilian models.

Singson said the photo was taken inside his private plane.
