Ayala Center then was more parking lot than shopping center. Parking was free and the shopping complex was composed of single level arcades. If you took your date to see a movie at the Rizal Theater (where 6750 now stands) followed by merienda or early dinner at Dulcinea just outside it you were bound to impress and not strike out.

 

Actually, it is the Shangri-La that now stands on the same lot where Rizal Theater was. The Queue was at the Regent on Roxas Blvd., which burned down. The disco at Manila Midtown Ramada was Club Valentino. There was also Delirium near the old United supermart, Another World on top of the old Shakey's, Yungib at the old Makati Hotel (now the MMDA hq), Circuit at the old Hyatt, Stargazer at Silahis, Apres at Manila Hotel, and another disco at the corner of UN facing the old Hilton where a McDo is now located. Really great times during the 70s.

 

Discos then were Where Else? at the Intercon basement, Altitude 49 at the Manila Garden Hotel, Queue at the Midtown Ramada (now the Heritage after it was rebuilt after burning down), the Velvet Slum at the Hotel Frederick (corner of harrison and buendia), Circles where the old Scwatzwalder and now the new Ayala Museum now stands, Subway in Maria Orosa st infront of the Manila Hilton (now the Waterfront).

 

Bus companies plying EDSA had bodies made of "lawanit" and had names like California Bus Lines, JD Transit, CAM Transit, JD Liner, and DM Transit. Jeepneys had just been outlawed in EDSA (and the jeepney drivers could not complain because Martial law was in force) they were replaced by minibuses that were just as small, just as dangerous and were driven by the same maniacs.

 

DM was the death machine

 

Actually most of the stores in Ayala Center were 2 or more floors with a basement: these were Goldcrest, Bricktown, Quad, Syvels, SM, Rustan's, Alemars, etc. (forgot the names of the other buildings that's part of Glorietta 4 now).

 

My favorite daytime dating place then in Makati was the Quad. We watched movies then eat Banana Split or Peach melba at the Magnolia Ice Cream Parlor on the ground level or buy Pizza in Greenwich or eat native merienda in Rustan's or eat spaghetti in Makati Supermart or if she likes Chinese food, we walk to Kowloon or Ling Nam.

 

We're tambay Wherelse although we "make dayo" (70's na 70s ) to other discos mentioned by SBM.

 

I didn't go on dinner dates except on parties or somebody else's treat. Wala pang datung. My favorite after dinner dates places then were the hotel lounges like the Alibi Bar, Siete Pecados, Calesa bar and Cusco bar among others. Afterwards, we danced in the discos and later on to my homebase Wherelse for the swing showdown.

On a sad note, both Ric Jason and the actor who played Little John are no longer around.

 

Ric Jason committed suicide about 3 or 5 years ago to end a lingering illness while the guy who played Little John (sorry but I can't recall his name) succumbed to cancer years ago.

The song was My Sweet Lady by John Denver. It was from the Movie/TV series Sunshine about a young widower taking care of a child after his wife died of cancer. The narration includes "who will clean the toilet... God you're and idiot".

 

Songs include Sunshine of my shoulders, My Sweet Lady and Mr. Bojango

Pards, did you know that Andrea True was a porn star back in the mid-70s before she turned singer? :evil: She was in a porn movie called "The Seduction of Lyn Carter" where she played the title character.

 

Second hand info lang ito.

The song "Steal my sunshine", if you heard it, and as performed by the group Lena, sounds like More, more,more. The group paid tribute to Andrea True and even featured her on the MTV (cameo appearance). Marami na talagang nagre-remake ng 70s and 80s songs.

Yes, when that song was first played on the old DZBM (la pang FM before), the dj Charlie Tuna (aka Danny Samonte-the composer of 20 Minutes Before Take-off) made the point. It was also used as background music in the rcently concluded Sex in the City

wow! :evil:

mid-70's....so contemporary nya sina Linda Lovelace and Marilyn Chambers hmmm...

 

I've been meaning to have these 70's porno flicks pero I dont know where to find them. Para sa akin mas magaganda pa yung mga x-rated nuon. Deep Throat, Behind the Green Door, the Taboo series, all those Traci Lords ficks, the Debbie series, etc..

I've heard that Jill's in the Fort plays 70's or 80's music at a certain day of the week, just not sure when....

Yup, she was a contemporary of those stars you mentioned. By the way, the girl who played Debbie in Debbie Does Dallas, Bambi Woods, is gone too. Actually she died quite young. She died in the early 80s from a drug overdose. Mukhang magkakaroon yata ng remake nito and Vivid Films will be producing it.

 

"Debbie" was filmed in a real college campus in New York back in 1978. The movie's producers sought and obtained permission from the school administrators to film in the campus. Unbeknownst to the latter, it was a porn movie.

1969, Oct 29 to Dec 10. Mt Taal issues lava for 42 days.

 

1969, Nov 7. Marcos and Lopez are re-elected. Marcos garners 5,017,343 votes, his contender, Sergio Osmena, Jr just 3,043,122 votes. The election, in which Marcos campaigns with the slogan "This nation will be great again", has been considered the dirtiest in Philippine history with win-at-all-cost tactics using guns, goons and gold to influence voters allegedly applied by the Marcos camp.

 

1970. In the first three months, youth activism is born in the so-called first quarter storm. Demonstrations, strikes and riots spring up over issues such as lack of opportunity for the poor, colonial economy, graft and corruption, imperialism, feudalism and capitalism. Violence erupts in two areas in Mindanao, Cotabato and Lanao del Norte provinces. Feliciano Luis, a Christian Ilongo settler in Mindanao organizes a band known as the Ilagas (rats) to attack the Moros.

Congress is suspended. A curfew is imposed from 24:00 to 4:00.

 

1972, Sep 26. The whole country is proclaimed a land reform area and an Agrarian Reform Program is decreed.

 

1972, Oct 21. Marcos passes the Tenant's Emancipation Patent, intended to launch land transfer to over 450,000 tenants. 183,647 of them receive Land Transfer Certificates, establishing their right to benefit from the land reform, and some 15,000 tenants become amortizing owners.

 

1972, Oct 21. The first major armed defiance of martial law takes place in Lanao del Sur.

1976, Oct 16. Another plebiscite is held, the result of which allows the President to continue martial law. It also ratifies some amendments to the 1973 constitution, the most anomalous of which is Amendment No. 6. This gives the president awesome powers to issue decrees, orders and letters of instruction which form part of the law of the land. The president can exercise these powers when, in his judgment, there exists a grave emergency or threat thereof, or when either the Interim Batasang Pambansa or the regular National Assembly fail to act adequately.

1977, Mar 4. President Marcos issues a decree creating the autonomous Bangsa Moro Islamic Government which gives autonomy to the 13 provinces and calls for the withdrawal of all armed forces of the government. Regions 9 and 12 become autonomous but remain separated from each other.

Dont know if am correct. A powerful earthquake hit Manila around April 1970 ba yun? I only remember then I was having lunch and watching ABSCBNs noontime show WINNER TAKE ALL hosted by ROD NAVARRO when the quake strucked. He said to the audience (live) to keep calm tapos when it became apparent that it was getting stronger, siya ang nanguna sa pagtakbo. But later on the TV showed the tower of ABSCBN swaying during the height of the quake. Good thing there was a general strike ng mga jeepney drivers then if not ang daming nabagsakang student at a school (nag collapse) near us.
