Back To The 70's

[sliderule]

Yes I remember this.  The Bedan tradition was to square it off "sa likod ng swimming pool".  Got my first black eye at the age of 11.

Pareng Magaling! Ka alma mater....

 

Sa grade school ang square namin (in another school) was in the "washroom". Siempre with an audience. Funny thing was, 80% of the time, mag friends na ulit yung nag suntukan immediately after the fight...strange...

Hi Augustmoon...

 

I finally posted.  What can you say about my bakya? may 70's flavor diba? 

 

Hi to ALL.  Nice thread.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Welcome to the thread. Please join us on my exhibit.

 

Welcome PromdiQ  :*

 

Yehey!! Finally... nakisama (nadaan sa sindak  ).  Ang ganda ng  avatar, lalo na your signature, mukhang pinag-isipan 

 

My friend, this is a 70's thread..so this is your chance to PURGE all you pleasant and not-too-pleasant memories of (y)our youth.  Senior Moments are forgiven.   

 

Storm..PromdiQ is another one of the Diliman Debs you probably ""swung""  (tama ba iyong term?...baka kasi ma misconstrue pag ginamit ko ang swing) with.

 

Looking forward to you posts... :cool:

That's so true, kasi madalas tampuhan lang... napupunta sa suntukan.

In our times we call "strutting" in the GAL / WNCAA as flirting so we would be noticed by the cutie boys (then) ...

Can I ask a dumb question? What was "GAL"?

JT, tingin ko it's a display of relief that you've done what needed to be done. Pag nagka-hamunan ng suntukan, kakahiya if you back down, unless he's the biggest guy in campus

In Memoriam

 

For all who care to remember, here is a list of 70s Filipino TV entertainers who passed away.

 

By Butch Francisco

 

Archiving is poor in the movies, but worse in television. Copies of some old movies at least still exist. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same for TV. Most of us therefore have forgotten the TV stars of old – especially those who have moved on to the other world ahead of us. Today, let us remember those talented individuals who made significant contributions to television before returning to their Creator.

 

Lopito – The original male co-host of Tawag ng Tanghalan, he died at the peak of his career in 1966.

 

Joey Lardizabal – Hosted The Morning Show in ABS-CBN Channel 3 up to the time he died of cancer in 1969.

 

Chito Feliciano – He pioneered in dance shows via Dancetime With Chito in the early ‘60s on Channel 7. He died in a helicopter crash in the early ‘70s.

 

Vic Pacia – A mainstay of Oras ng Ligaya, he also dabbled in films as an actor (Sampaguita Pictures). Pacia died in a car crash in 1973 while driving in Laguna.

 

Eddie Peregrina – A jukebox king, he hosted The Eddie-Nora Show with Nora Aunor on Channel 9 in the late ‘60s.

 

Ronald Remy – A former Premiere Productions contract star who made a lot of films for international release, he appeared as Rosa Rosal’s husband in ‘Yan ang Misis Ko and later hosted the Sunday noontime game show (Lucky 13 among them) on Channel 13.

 

Nanding Flores – The original Mr. Baltic when the comic strip Baltic & Co. was made into a series on Channel 7. The show was still at its peak in 1975 when he died. He was replaced by Prospero Luna.

 

Doro de los Ojos – Known for his dilated eyes that gave him his showbiz screen name, he hosted the early afternoon variety show Everyday Holiday on ABS-CBN up to the late ‘60s. He died in 1981.

 

Pugo – A veteran of stage shows, he did several successful comedies for LVN before he ventured into television where he starred in Tangtarangtang (which later became Si Tatang Kasi), Wanted: Boarders, Alright, Okay, My Son, My Son and also as replacement of Lopito in Tawag ng Tanghalan. Dolphy so respected Pugo that when the mentor died in 1978, he cut short his US vacation to attend the wake. Dolphy also had Pugo’s coffin replaced with a more expensive one – something more fit for the original King of Comedy, which Pugo was in the ‘50s and ‘60s.

 

Patsy – She passed on to the other world about half a year after the death of Pugo, who was her Tawag ng Tanghalan co-host and screen husband in Wanted: Boarders and My Son, My Son.

 

Tony Santos, Sr. – A great character actor from LVN, he directed Oras ng Ligaya and several sitcoms for the old ABS-CBN. He also hosted Mr. Public Service and appeared as Dindo Fernando’s brother in Flordeluna.

 

Dindo Fernando – A member of Sampaguita’s Star 66, he metamorphosed into a fine actor and leading man on the big screen. On TV, he was best known as Major Leo Alicante, Flordeluna’s father. With Tony Santos, Sr., he also did the Dindo-Tony Show.

 

Virgilio Garcia – The father of Kristine Garcia, he played sweetheart and later husband to Dulce Lukban in Tindahan sa Nayon.

 

Teroy de Guzman – A mainstay of Magandang Tanghali, he was also part of the early ‘80s comedy show, Mah-Ta-Tu in the old BBC-2.

 

Mitos Villarreal – One of the most sought-after TV directors for musicals, dramas (Salamism) and special events, she was also part of the singing trio Lemons Three (along with Nikki Ross and Angie de la Cruz) in Your Evening With Pilita.

 

Jose Mari Velez – The most popular newscaster during the pre-martial law years (The Big News on Channel 5), he developed a loyal following because of his credibility, excellent delivery of the news and yes, debonair looks.

Rosa Aguirre – A product of stage and the movies, she was Aling Charing in Tangtarangtang.

Bayani Casimiro – Noted for his tap dancing, he hosted Tayo’y Mag-Hapi-Hapi with Jean Lopez and was a mainstay of Okay Ka, Fairy Ko until his death.

Some suntukan stories from the 70s (with apologies, ladies).

 

In our school, there were these two guys who really had bad blood between them. One of them was a son of a military officer. Let’s refer to him as military boy. They had a fight in one establishment close to our school. Natalo si military boy. That fight was witnessed by just a few. Some months later they had another fight, this time right outside the school…and just about everyone was there to watch.

 

There were the usual fisticuffs, then all of a sudden military boy began swinging a rubber tube. We were all aghast. Dapat kasi, labanang lalake. His opponent managed to avoid being hit, then reached for a stone. Then military boy’s driver came in. He was a sergeant. He gave military boy’s opponent a half-nelson (or is it full-nelson) to prevent the stone from being thrown. The fight was then broken up because a weapon was used.

 

Military boy’s younger brother also created quite a stir in our school. He was big, really big. He was actually the shotput champion in our school. Yet when he got into some conflict with one of his classmates, he brought in soldiers. The administration could do nothing. Remember, this was martial law. So the soldiers were there to do whatever they intended to do.

 

Kami naman, wala rin magawa. So sumigaw na lang kami. “Duwag! Duwag!”

Masi...Slide..Ok ha? nag CONCERT kayo... :cool:

 

Boring kasi pag Sabado nights sa mga elderly tulad natin.. Remember some few years back..when our Saturday gimmicks would stretch till early Sunday. Ngayon, Saturday IS rest day. The usual Weekened Gimmicks has transformed in "Social Obligations"" ranging from B-day Parties (also of the elderly to commemorate a milestone) to Wakes... we are really getting older... even our Parent's friends have become our friends na rin.

 

Did you know that this thread is the most read/viewed in the sub-group?? Bakit kaya?

 

In case you are wondering why I am awake this early on a Sunday..well I am off to my weekend favorite activity... Palengke !!! :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Good Morning to ALL !!!!

Wow augustmoon, (wet) marketing major ka pala...joke lang...your post is very funny

 

...just a few more posts and this thread will hit the 100 page mark...congrats to this thread's creator - Storm!

 

As discussed earlier, I really can't imagine the gimmick hours of the current generation, kita kita at 12 midnight and literally call it a night at daylight...wasak ang body clock ko nun and I'll need days to recover!

 

As for my favorite Sunday activity - hit the laptop at 6AM and catch up on the previous week's unread e-mails, prepare end of week reports and gather material for the Monday morning staff meeting...I rub my hands in blissful anticipation...! :thumbsdownsmiley:

    Good one Liberty!!! :cool: 

 

In our times we call "strutting" in the GAL / WNCAA as flirting so we would be noticed by the cutie boys (then) ...Now they call it RAMPA and Hala !!!!  with the intent to bring bag one of those cuties...  Its really a generational thing..

 

After all these years, my girl-friends and I (PromdQ should second this  ) have realized that it all come down to this...  When you were young sweet thing , you had to PROTECT your REP  :hypocritesmiley: ...but when you get older  you BUILD a REP.  :evil:  :evil: 

 

Sa guys ba may REP issues din?  Ha? mga  chick-boys?  :boo:

Hi everyone. Pwede na ako mag post ngayon kasi DAY-OFF ko.

 

 

Augustmoon, ikaw na rin nag banggit ng GAL games........ For the info of everyone, augustmoon was one of our star cheerleaders then. Ganda ng uniform nila, legal na legal mag mini-skirt. :evil: Talo niya si MYSTICA sa pag-split (kaya mo pa kaya ngayon?) Buti na lang di ka nadiskubre ng mga taga DENR.... if ever, baka nakulong ka sa salang ILLEGAL LOGGING (peace man) :hypocritesmiley:

 

What do I remember about the 70's? Si Uncle Bob (member ako ng Uncle Bob's Lucky 7 Club), Clubhouse 9 ba yon ni Pepe Pimentel (my cousin was so into it that she forced her mom to bring her to the studio to join the tawa-iyak portion. ayon, natalo), Si Shintaro pag lunch time, Gigantor, yung cartoon sa channel 7 na may sing-a-long (there was a ball na tatalon-talon sa lyrics para tama ang timing mo!), and more.

 

Siyempre favorite dating place ko noon for the food & the ambience, Italian Village. Sayang, wala na ngayon....

Hi din.

 

Favorite rin namin ang Italian Village pero mas favorite namin ang Mother's (wala na rin) along EDSA near the Quezon Rotunda. Yes, uso pa noon ang rotunda. Now, Welcome Rotonda na lang ang natira

 

I hope you could also find the time to attend my exhibit.
