Back To The 70's

[photographer]

Vincent Bingbong Crisologo ordered the burning of the villages of Ora Este and Ora Centro in Bantay, Ilocos Norte. For the reason, they voted against his mom...Carmeling Pichay Crisologo. The villagers voted for Luis Chavit Singson.

 

Now bingbong is now a charismatic leader of the group called "A New Life in Jesus" and a congressman from the first district of Quezon City.

==================================================================

 

Am a part of Bingbong's religious group.......The Loved Flock.

 

There exists a chilling blow-up picture of a confrontation between Chavit and Bingbong (with their bodyguards) wherein one can see Bingbong ready to pick-up his pistol tucked in his waist while shouting (per the shape of his mouth) at Chavit who is directly in front of him. Chavit has armalites (PC)-toting people pointed directly at Bingbong's bodyguards. Just wondering the feelings of the photographer at that very moment.

nice anecdotes, I remember following events at the time and one of General Fidel Ramos' "frustrations" was that while General Ver was under investigation for the murder of Ninoy Aquino, Marcos installed Ramos as "Acting" Chief of Staff, never actually giving him the title or position officially,

 

Speaking about warlords of the north, I remember as a very young man being in Ilocos (Fort Ilocandia) during Irene Marcos' wedding to Greggy Araneta...

 

the day before the wedding, I remember looking at the parking lot and I was convinced every single mercedes benz in the country at the time was parked in the parking lot, and Imelda arriving in in this huge white PNR tourist bus, trailed by about 30 cars, ambulances and uncountable motorcycles,

 

looking at the ocean, mega yachts were docked and Lear Jets taking off and landing at the nearby airport, helicopters ferrying VIPs to the venue...

 

then watching the ultimate of all "APOs" of the north... FM with Bonget, surrounded by bodyguards approximately thier same height, touring the Hotel with a sense of authority one simply cannot buy,

 

 

 

and the photographers going nuts just snapping away at them, it was impressive for this kid at the time, and I'm sure a sight like that will never be duplicated in these modern times...

i loved the lingerie section.. :thumbsupsmiley: in the early 70s we did not see that kind women's underwear, but in '79 the Girard Peter Models changed all that. :upside:

 

btw, any relation to Carlos Salazar--also a matinee idol of the 60s and 70s?

 

===============================================================================

 

Thanks. Nice to heat you loved the section. OO nga, I think their show was staged at Mirador Hotel? tama ba? I only read it sa Manila Bulletin advertisements, planned to watched nuon but ang mahal :goatee: Carmi Martin, I think, was part of the show. Then nagkaron siya ng kalaban.....cant recall the name of the agency.

 

No relation to C Salazar.

Na imagine ko nga lahat ito during my documentary sa Ilocos Norte two years ago. I was even allowed inside the Malacanan of the North. I think malabo nang mangyayari ito ngayon, now with more freedom sa press. Lagot sila sa publicity and public opinion. The church where Irene and Greggy got married, nasira na yung roof during the great earthquake a few years after the wedding. My guides (former PSC of Marcos) told me stories about the wedding pati yung rush importation of flowers from Holland kasi yung tinanim nilang flowering plants failed to bloom on the required period time

Gen. Ver was also called "CS" (Chief of Staff) among his peers...many still say he personally

pulled the trigger that did then Rep. Floro Crisologo (Bingbong's old man & Chavit's uncle)

inside a cathedral in Vigan in 1970 ( i think).

========================================

 

General Ver is also "lovingly" called "Kulot" mas lalo kung mangaasar si Col. Barba.

===============================================================

 

Kasama pala si Isabel Lopez dun? Wonder kung sino may copy pa ng "Hubo sa Dilim" which was shown sa MIFF at Film Center early 80s. Naghanap ako sa Quiapo, wala na silang copy. : - )

[ElRey]

Girard Peter started out producing fashion shows to lure businessmen into the then La Concha at the Hyatt Regency Manila

 

Back in those days, the Hyatt was the only place in town, it was booming -- with Calesa Bar and Circuit Disco at night, Tempura Misono, the only, if not one of the only real classy Japanese Restaurants at the time, the management then thought of an ingenious way to bring in the business crowd so they had top designers like Pitoy Moreno, etc launch fashion shows at the La Concha at the top floor of the Hotel...

 

Of course these were the good old days when cocktails with lunch were standard, and what better way to spend a "business lunch" than to be watching Manila's most gorgeous models strut their stuff on the catwalk...

 

Girard Peter (obviously not his real name) took it a step further when he launched the "fashion shows" to be more risque and sexy, with the likes of Carmi Martin, Maria Isabel Lopez and if I'm not mistaken "si ako, si ikaw" Maria Teresa Carlson...

 

He became rich, and is still rich now... astute businessman with his finger on the pulse of what the market truly wants

May napanood ako years ago pa sa VHS--"Sex in Phil. Cinema" which was basically a collection of sex clips from the 70s Bomba genre up to the early 80s. Would you know if this is already available in DVD format in Quiapo or elsewhere? That colllection included the classic rape scene of Ma. Isabel Lopez by a horde of salivating and hungry menyaks. :cool:

 

But what was really amusing and comedic was that clip showing Romy Diaz and George Estregan taking turns nailing some starlet in the 70s. :upside:

The owner of Girard-Peter was Gerry Reyes (he resembles Hajji Alejandro - small, maporma mega-mustache envelope bag toting. Benz driving-type) and wife Daisy Izon-Reyes. They were rich na rin even before they started the GP models and yes, they became richer... they actually made a pile from semi-tactful pimping of the models. Curious lang.. what career / biz-shift did this couple do?

 

I remember the REYES couple (and met them a few times in the early 80's) because one of my college study-batch/ groupmates worked for them. She was earning about Php 15,000 THEN not to mention gifts from her "patrons" had her own apartment and was driving a brand new Toyota Liftback. She worked as GP model to help herself and her brothers to finish college But soon after graduation, she stopped, and took a simple job as Bank Teller earning (then) Php 1,200 which was really quite admirable to start a normal life. She worked her way up, married a simple decent hardworking man, became a lawyer and is now an SVP of one of the leading banks.

[bleep]

a very nice era indeed kahit may martial law... i remember listening to "Zimatar" over DZRH bago pumasok sa school....

Hi Augustmoon! Musta na.

 

I never met the couple, only the father of Daisy, the late artist Esmeraldo Izon. He was a friend of my dad when they worked together in some publications in the 60s. I was able to "witness" some of the shows and the nude sketching sessions they did in the late seventies.

 

The first woman I saw wearing a t-back was a GP model.

 

Lets have an eb soon.

First time here. 70s child din po.

 

Didn't Esmeraldo Izon draw for the Philippines Free Press?

Yap, Sex in Phil.Cinema is available DVD format but batched together as part 1 to 5. Bought it at Hidalgo, malapit sa Jolibee, sa kabila ng Plaza Miranda. Di ko nakita yung clip nina Diaz and Estregan.

[ElRey]

Namatay daw sa AIDS si George Estregan, is this true? sobra daw manyak nung buhay eh... not sure if this is true though
