  2. si boy mondragon naalala ko...yung batang malaki ang labi...patay na ba yun?

     

    Ike Lozada was my uncle's classmate in elementary school, i saw the yearbook bata pa is Enrique Lozada (real name) mataba na talaga kaya namatay ng maaga.

    Boy Mondragon pinasikat niya iyong kantang RAIN, his contemporary na child singer ay si Efren Montes, sikat naman siya sa kantang Kiss me in the Morning ( I'm not so sure if this is tha right title of the song)

  3. Ang ka-loveteam ni Darius Razon was Geraldine. I remember the company driver of my father used to drive for Darius back then and kuwento nya palagi daw nyang hinahatid sa mga motel sina Darius at Geraldine :P Funny but Darius now owns several girlie bars in the Boni area which we used to frequent. He manages to sit with us every so often and get this - Darius is definitely gay :D

    Darius made a big hit in his song Shadow of the Night.

  4. "kapag ito hindi nagbayad, pupulbusin ko ang dibdib !! ........ ,Mag-beer muna tayo" - Bert Tawa Marcelo

     

    " Bataan matamis" - Johnny de Leon at Ngo-ngo

     

    " Sa Brenda ang sarap, sa Brenda ang ligaya sa bawat kagat ligaya at sarap" - Francis and Susan Arnaiz

  5. sabi ko nga sa isang thread kay pareng Dekampanilla gawa siya ng Back to the 60s thread, ayoko lang umpisahan baka pagkamalan akong gurang :lol:

    Sobrang layo na niyan. Mahirapan na kaming martial law babies to interact with you in that era. :lol:

  6. I fondly remember Ariel Ureta's show called FOR THE BOYS I think it was shown on channel 13. there was the sexy starlet (forgot her name), while dancing to the rhythm of the disco beat her left breast was expose on live broadcast. after the commercial break all that Ariel can utter was "hindi maiiwasan ang aksidente, pasensiya na po". that was around 1977-1978.

    I'm not quite sure but I believe she was Pia Moran(?)

     

    There was similar incident during FAMAS Award night involving Didith Reyes. During her song number, the strap of her gown snapped thereby exposing her boobs to the delight of nationwide viewers. The song number was abruptly cut by a commercial.

  7. Denny Terio became famous for training John Travolta and landed a spot on TV in DANCE FEVER in the late 70s. Denny Terio's's dancing style on the TV show was clearly noticeable in John Travolta's dancing sequences in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER.

    We may consider Discorama as our local version of Dance Fever. The late Bobby Ledesma hosted this Saturday show that also featured Tito, Vic and Joey in their "Tough Hits Songs"portion. Who can forget, Vivian Velez sexy dance number which later became the opening film-clip-teaser of the show. Whoa!! in that particular Vivian episode, Bobby Ledesma was caught in the camera in one of his unguarded moments literally "nakanganga sa habang nanunuod" Fantastic 70's.
