Back To The 70's

[photographer]

Uso rin sa amin noon ang mamasyal kung saan-san. We just chipped in sa gas and off we go to as far as Batangas in the south and Baguio in the north pero madalas kami sa Nueva Ecija where my mom has a farm she inherited from her father.

 

Mahilig din kaming mag-bike noon at kung saan-saan din kami nakararating.

 

I was in 1st year at Notre Dame when Martial Law was declared.

 

Ngayon hindi na ko nakakapunta sa farm. Hanggang dito na lang sa Metro-Manila nakakalibot. I am busy immersing myself as a sculptor (3rd year ko na) and painter (preparing for a show) while still working as a graphic designer for the past 20 years.

 

Somehow pareng photographer, related yung field natin.

To all the 70s peeps,

 

Lets have an EB soon.

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

=

 

Related nga. we are both artists. Inform me or PM me when ang iyong show.

 

Well, kami naman, dahil piso lang ang baon nuon hehehe, we only go as far as Good Earth Emporium, Luneta (naks! hahaha), Harrison Plaza, at "Ilusion" hehehe. Kapag may naipon, Pampanga, where most of my barkada are from, Bulacan, Matabungkay, Anilao, and nuong malinis at walang kamatayang, Aroma Beach sa Coastal (where I got my first initiation sa frat - college na) and Mabuhay Beach sa Cavite. Would you believe, naliligo pa kami sa breakwater and mismo sa nakatayong "Boardwalk" ngayon? The bay water then was sooo clean and nanghuhuli pa kami ng mga talangka. The air over Manila fresh pa nuon.

[storm]

Ganitong panahon ay uso ang talangka or pehe as we call it in Malabon. Namimintol kami noon ng pehe sa mga palaisdaan.

 

My sculpture exhibit is ongoing until August 18 at Hiraya Gallery, 530 UN Ave., Ermita, Manila. It's located between Bocobo and MH del Pilar, beside Figaro. May shutterbugs (grupo ng mga MTC photographers and hobbyist) EB on the 18th.

This was supposedly given during the bday of Macoy in 1968 -- curious lang, may fake na Rolex na ba from Korea / China noon?

***********************************************

 

Heto ang KAPAYAPAAN na alam natin, noong wala pang KAUNLARAN...

 

 

Si Nanay ay nasa bahay pag-uwi namin galing sa paaralan;

Walang mga bakod at gate ang magkakapit-bahay, kung meron, gumamela lang;

10 sentimos o diyes lang ang baon: singko sa umaga, singko sa hapon;

Merong free ang mga patpat ng ice drop: buko man o munggo.

Mataas ang paggalang sa mga guro at ang tawag sa kanila ay Maestro/a:

Di binibili ang tubig, pwedeng maki-inom sa di mo kakilala.

Malaking bagay na ang pumunta sa ilog para mag-picnic, o kaya sa tumana;

Grabe na ang kaso pag napatawag ka sa principal's office o kaya malaking kahihiyan kapag bagsak ka sa exams;

Simple lang ang pangarap: makatapos, makapag-asawa, mapagtapos ang mga anak...

Pwedeng iwan ang sasakyan at ibilin sa hindi mo kakilala; wala namang lock ang mga jeep na Willy's noon.

 

 

Mayroon kaming mga laruan na gawa namin at hindi binili: trak-trakan (gawa sa rosebowl ang katawan at darigold na maliit ang mga gulong, "sketeng" (scooter) na bearing na maingay ang mga gulong at de-sinkong pako para sa preno; patining na pinitpit na tansan lang na may 2 butas sa gitna para suotan ng sinulid (pwede pang makipag-lagutan); sumpak, pilatok, boca-boca, borador, atbp.

Di nakikialam ang mga matanda sa mga laro ng mga bata: kasi laro nga iyon.

Maraming usong laro at maraming kasali: laste, gagamba, turumpo, tatsing ng lata, pera namin ay kaha ng Philip Morris, Malboro, Champion (kahon-kahon yon!)

May dagta ang dulo ng tinting na hawak mo para makahuli tutubi, nandadakma ka ng palakang tetot, pero ingat ka sa palakang saging dahil sa kulugo;

Butas na ang sakong ng Spartan mong tsinelas - suot mo pa rin;

Namumugalgal ang pundiya ng kansolsilyo mo kasi nakasalampak ka sa lupa.

Sa modernong buhay at sa lahat ng kasaganaan sa high technology.. . di ba minsan nangarap ka na rin... mas masaya noong araw!

Sana pwedeng maibalik...

Takot tayo ngayon sa buhay. Kasi maraming napapatay, nakikidnap, maraming addict at masasamang loob...

Noon takot lang tayo sa ating mga magulang at mga lolo at lola. Pero ngayon, alam na natin na mahal pala nila tayo kayat ayaw tayong mapahamak o mapariwara.. . Na una silang nasasaktan pag pinapalo nila tayo...

 

 

Balik tayo sa nakaraan kahit saglit...

Bago magkaroon ng internet, computer, at cellphone.

Noong wala pang mga drugs at malls.

 

Bago pa nauso ang counter strike at mga game boys.

 

Tayo noon... Doon ...

 

Tinutukoy ko ang harang taga o tumbang preso kapag maliwanag ang buwan;

Ang pagtatakip mo ng mata pero nakasilip sa pagitan ng mga daliri pag nanonood ka ng nakakatakot sa

"Mga Aninong Gumagalaw"

 

Unahan tayong sumagot sa Multiplication Table na

kabisado natin, kasi wala namang calculator.

Pag-akyat natin sa mga puno; pagkakabit ng kulambo, lundagan sa kama ;

Pagtikwas o pagtitimba sa poso; pingga ang pang-igib ng lalake at may dikin naman ang ulo ng babae;

Inaasbaran ng mga suberbiyo;

Nginig na tayo pag lumabas na ang yantok-mindoro o buntot-page.

Nai-sako ka rin ba? O kaya naglagay ka ba ng karton

sa pwet para hindi masakit ang tsinelas o sinturon?

Pamimili ng bato sa bigas; tinda-tindahan na puro dahon naman; bahay-bahayan na puro kahon; naglako ka ba ng ice-candy o pandesal noong araw?

Karera sa takbuhan hanggang maubos ang hininga; pagtawa hanggang sumakit ang tiyan;

Meron pa bang himbabao, kulitis at pongapong? O kaya ang lukaok, susuwi at espada?

Susmaryosep ang nadidinig mo pag nagpapaligo ng bata...

Estigo santo kapag nagmamano.

Mapagod sa kakalaro, minsan mapalo; matakot sa "berdugo" at sa "kapre";

Tuwang-tuwa kami pag tinalo ang tinale ni itay kasi may tinola!

 

Yung crush mo?

Pag recess: mamimili ka sa garapon ng tinapay -alembong, taeng-kabayo o biscocho?

Pwede ring ang sukli ay kending Vicks (meron pang libreng singsing) o kaya nougat o karamel;

Kung gusto mo naman - pakumbo o kaya kariba,

mas masaya kung inuyat;

Puriko ang mantika, at mauling na ang mukha at ubos

na ang hininga mo sa ihip kasi mahirap magpa-rikit ng apoy.

 

Madami pa...

Masarap ang kamatis na piniga sa kamay at lumabas

sa pagitan ng daliri para sa sawsawan; ang palutong pag isawsaw sa sukang may siling labuyo; ang duhat kapag inalog sa asin; ang isa-sang isubo ang daliri kasi puno na ng kanin...

Halo-halo: yelo, asukal at gatas lang ang sahog;

Sakang ang lakad mo at nakasaya ka kasi bagong tuli ka; o naghahanap ka ng chalk kasi tinagusan ang palda mo sa eskwelahan.

Lipstick mo ay papel de hapon;

Labaha ang gamit para sa white-side-wall na gupit;

Naglululon ka ng banig pagkagising; matigas na amirol ang mga punda at kumot; madumi ang manggas ng damit mo kasi doon ka nagpapahid ng sipon, di ba? Pwede rin sa laylayan...

May mga program kapag Lunes sa paaralan;

May pakiling kang dala kung Biyernes kasi magi-isis ka ng desk.

Di ba masaya? Naalala mo pa ba?

Wala nang sasaya at gaganda pa sa panahon na yon...

Masaya noon at masaya pa rin tayo ngayon habang ina-alaala iyon...

 

Di ba noon...

Ang mga desisyon ay ginagawa sa awit na "sino ba sa dalawang ito?

Ito ba o ito?" Pag ayaw ang resulta di ulitin: "sino ba sa dalawang ito? Ito ba o ito?"...

Awit muna: Penpen de Serapen, de kutsilyo, de almasen. How how the carabao batuten...

Presidente ng klase ay ang pinakamagaling, hindi ang pinaka-mayaman;

Masaya na tayo basta sama-sama kahit hati-hati sa kokonti;

Nauubos ang oras natin sa pagku-kwentuhan, may oras tayo sa isat-isa;

Naaasar ka kapag marami kang sunog sa sungka; kapag buro ka sa pitik-bulag o matagal ka ng taya sa holen.

Yung matatandang kapatid ang pinaka-ayaw natin pero sila ang tinatawag natin pag napapa-trouble tayo.

Di natutulog si Inay, nagbabantay pag may trangkaso tayo; meron tayong skyflakes at Royal sa tabi at pahihigupin ng mainit na Royco.

Kung naaalaala mo ito... nabuhay ka na sa

 

 

KAPAYAPAAN!

Pustahan tayo nakangiti ka pa rin!

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).

 

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

 

Ilocos Sur warlord Rep. Floro Crisologo was assassinated on October 18, 1970 inside Vigan St. Paul’s Cathedral. Lawyer Floro Crisologo personally opposed Marcos’ martial law plan. By the way, you can view the pictures of the assassination at the Crisologo Museum at Vigan. Historical.

Thanks.......have nuon before our house burned down late 90s. But I have this powerpoint presentation of old metro manila kaya lang di ko alam kung saan ko i upload.

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.

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?

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

 

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...

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

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.
