andrewfordmedina Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 ahhh...Manila from way back remember the COD Department Store in Cubao?the Yuletide Show there was one of a kind :cool: i recently learned (about a year ago) that COD closed shop and was replaced by PureGold... The concept of the COD Yuletide show was acquired (or bought?) by the Ortigas Company Ltd. and placed in the Greenhills Shopping Center. Even the artists that used to design the COD Christmas extravaganza were transferred to the employ of the Ortigas Company. just some trivia..... Quote Link to comment

Mandrake Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 (edited) Those were great pics Sir willow boy...they brought back a lot of nostalgia. In the early 70s, ginagala namin yan ng uncle ko from his Reuters office located on the same bldg. where you see the Telegraph office. Pag X'Mas Season, practically all dept. stores along the Escolta strip are all lighted up end to end. Really miss those times... :cool: Edited December 12, 2006 by Mandrake Quote Link to comment
