My parents ran a sari-sari store for a few years during the 70s. I remember Fanta Rootbeer. Ang sarap! Iyan usually ang ini-inom ko kapag nanonood kami ng sine sa Cubao.

 

Does anyone remember the company that used to make Choco-Vim? Was it Magnolia?

I also remember PANCHO PANTERA chocolate mix drink which used to be promoted by Uncle Bob Stewart, original owner of Channel 7.

Oo nga. Uncle Bob's tv shows were very much a part of the 1970s. I don't know if this gentleman is still around. The last thing I heard about him was that he and his Filipina wife left the Philippines to retire in Arizona.

 

You're right na he was the original owner of Channel 7. The company that used to operate Channel 7 was known as RBS (the initials stood for Republic Broadcasting System) until the name changed much later to GMA-7 when Jimenez took over.

 

If ever the day comes when a history of Philippine television is written, this man deserves, at the least, a chapter in it.

it's because may takot ang tao noon, takot kay Marcos....ngayon...ang tao walang takot kaya tayo ganito.

I seem to remember that an earlier item in INQ.7 reported that Uncle Bob's remains were brought back to our lovely PI to be buried here. I understand it was his wish to be buried in the Philippines.

I remembered growing up with Uncle Bob's Lucky 7 Club ditto with Tito Pepe's Clubhouse 9.

 

How's Tito Pepe?

Pero mali na kaya peaceful dahil sa takot. Kaya nga nangyari yung EDSA.

 

Mas masarap mabuhay na walang takot at malaya. Dapat lamang ay naghahari ang kabutihan, pagmamalasakit sa kapwa, bayan at kapaligiran, at merong pagkakaisa. :thumbsupsmiley:

dominant broadsheets were Bulletin Today and Daily Express. in the back pages of the former, leisure section i think, i always noticed at the bottom of the page the prominent ad of Eduardo's in pasay listing the night's performers (balladers, etc.). right next to the box of eduardo's is the ad for Impierno's also in pasay where listed performers are usually groups of sexy girls. wonder what happened to the site where these two establishments used to be located?

let's not forget BAYSIDE NIGHT CLUB which was also located along this row. Naalala kO unang pasok ko sa Eduardo's tumutugtog ang HOTDOG BAND.

On Saturday will be our Alumni Homecoming. Our batch presentation will be very 70s. Hindi ako kasali sa presentation.

saw him last year in kamias qc sans his headpiece i think he's a barangay leader in kamuning.

Pag Christmas, I looked forward to the Christmas presentation at the old C.O.D. department store sa Cubao. Ali Mall was also newly built and was nice.

 

Actually, IMHO, during the 1970s, as far as family entertainment was concerned, mas maganda pumunta sa Cubao kaysa sa Makati. Cubao had several movie theaters on Aurora Boulevard and the Araneta Center (Fiesta Carnival, Araneta Coliseum, Farmers' Market) offered a lot of options for family trips. Makati, except for some restaurants on Makati Avenue and Buendia, was primarily a business district.
