Back To The 70's

[sally bogna mathay]

My dad along with a gentleman named Rodolfo T Reyes used to be the publishers of Ginoo. You will remember Reyes as the man who went on to become Press Secretary under FVR and then again under Erap. Photography was done by Emil Davocol and Mario Co in a small studio along Pasay road where I had the chance to watch centerfold shoots during my early college years.

 

I remember shoots of:

 

Daria Ramirez

Lotis Key - whoo hooo!

Gloria Diaz

Pilar Pilapil

Cherie Gil

Elizabeth Oropeza

Anna Marin

Ana Marie Gonzales

Carmen Ronda

and Susan Henson

 

What a small world! I and Mario used to work for the same boss.

Wow ang daming bago. Welcome folks, our group is getting bigger and bigger.

 

I haven't seen any of those bomba flicks specially the Ricky Rogers and Scarlet tandem.

 

I remember GINOO Magazine and PIC.

 

I hope boomouse can post some pics of the GINOO ladies.

 

Sorry to comment on boomouse handle but.... I just remembered the BOO team in the Intramurals when we were in high school where a picture of a big mouse (rat) is embroidered in their uniform below the BOO. Nakalusot sa mga pari at madre. :thumbsupsmiley:

Any one remember, or been to, Good Earth Emporium along Avenida Rizal near the corner of Carriedo? When I was still a kid my dad brought me there and I remember always the 3rd floor kasi yun ung toys section. Magaganda pa quality ng matchbox cars nun compared now.

 

Wala na ata ngayon un...

Matchbox nut din ako in those days...i still have in my baul the Aston Martin classic issue of JB-007. :cool:

Meron pa rin ngaung mga new issues but pretty expensive.

[bods1000]

Pards, actually mayroon nang DVD collections for all the series you mentioned. Here in the US, they've been out for at least a couple of years na. I hope they become available there soon.

Same here. I also watch their reruns on the same cable channel you mentioned and like you, I also prefer Suzanne Sommer to the lady who replaced her. Plus, the earlier episodes were much funnier. :cool:

 

thanks pare!

I actually saw Star Trek Seasons 1-3 here in Metrowalk - planning to buy it next time and I will also look for the others pero parang wala. Would you also know if Mission Impossible - the original TV series with Peter Graves and Martin Landau has been released as a video collection? Ito rin ang gusto kong mapanuod uli...

[nudude77]

Sayang wala na lahat mga matchbox ko

kung naitabi ko lang collector's item ngayon un. hilig ko kasi magsira ng mga toys then just to find out how they run.

 

Influenced din ako ng mga tv cop shows nung 70s na nauso yung mga car chases, crashes, and all those crazy car stunts. ayun ginagawa ko sa mga matchbox ko kaya walang natirang buo hehe

 

I also remember sa isang toilet paper (brand I forgot) lagi may kasamang molded toy soldiers about 2" high.

hindi siya painted and it was all grey but the detailing was impeccable. mga crusaders, 18th century soldiers etc.

 

sa tissue paper (something like kleenex ata) meron naman mga toy molded animals.

 

these were all in the 70s

 

as usual wala na rin sa kin...

Pards, you were referring to Scott Tissues. I also collected those toy soldiers (may Russian Cossack and Swiss Archer models sila) and made them do "battle" against my toy WW2 US army soldiers.

 

I am an avid Matchbox collector on the side because my Dad used to buy me those toy cars from the various stores in Quiapo. He told me that they only cost P2 then. :boo: Made in England pa. Mattel now owns the Matchbox brand. But as somebody here said earlier, the look and quality of the older and original British-made Matchbox cars were much better. :cool:

Yes, that has been released too. The first 3 seasons of the Mission Impossible TV series are now available. I just found out too na wala pala si Peter Graves (Jim Phelps) sa first season of this series. :boo: Steven Hill (used to be of Law and Order) played the role of Dan Riggs, the leader of IMF, in the first season.

[nudude77]

Yup yun na nga yun, Scott tissue. Do u still have those toy soldiers?

Nagkawalaan na yung sa akin, or inarbor na ata ng mga pamangkin ko.

 

Matchbox originally came from England. Ok talaga quality nun.

Ngayon hindi na.

On the handle thing... you hit the nail in the head my friend. If the vernacular of a 'big prick' is 'bu-rat', then it follows that a small prick is a 'boo-mouse'!

 

Para hindi OT:

 

I will raid my dad's library this (omigosh!!!) holy week with scanner and laptop to get some choice pics of Ginoo for you guys.

[tabouki]

pula-puti sa old sta.mesa market (now sm ctrpoint) & along legarda/recto bldg atop mercury drug.

 

Mothers - old sta.mesa market

 

brut, jovan, english leather, cd eau savage

[nudude77]

Hintayin namin yan )

 

Sama mo na rin mga pix from PIC, kung meron.

 

Diko matandaan kung san ko nakita si Jaclyn Jose, kung Ginoo or Pic.

She was young then around 17yo ata. In the buff, pero di kta keps. Boobs lang. Yummy

 

Sayang wala na rin yung mag na yun.

PIC was published by the late Franklin Cabaluna who was entertainment editor of people's journal and tonight when he died. Franklin still had mint copies of PIC that featured a very young and very beutiful Annabel Rama who in her time was much prettier than her daughter.

I remember my mom buying our beds and other furniture at Everlast department Store along Quezon Ave/Banawe. Beside it was the Robina roast chicken store which had a machine with a gas-fired chicken rotisserie and one chicken only cost P15.

 

UP still had a drive-in beside the old gym somewhat between the law center and the infirmary. There was a ladies pool in the site where the school of economics now is across the street from Vinzons Hall and the men's pool was a frog-infested cesspool behind the engineering building.

 

Miriam College was still called Maryknoll and it had the stature that Assumption and St Scho enjoy to this day except they haven't produced any presidents.

 

Just before every schoolyear opening we would all be herded to the Gregg Shoes store along N Domingo and San Juan to buy school shoes because they were the only ones that lasted the year.

 

Bata rubber shoes were for PE.

 

You can still find homes with black and white TVs but they were on the wane. The cat's pajamas in TV sets then were Sony's Trinitrons which mostly were 12- and 17-inch screens. Radiowealth was still a big name in local sound systems with their quadrosonic, 4 channel systems.

 

The place to be seen was the Makati Fast Food center in what I think is now Park Square 1. The QUAD theaters were the first movieplex in what is now called Glorietta 1. At that time, Glorietta was an open park where they held masses and open air concerts when the main food features were the first MacDonalds Store and the Ling Nam mami house just behind Makati Supermart (which is now Glorietta 3).

 

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.

 

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.

 

There was a rotunda (ruondabout) at the corner of EDSA and Quezon Avenue and another one at the corner of Legarda, Governor Forbes (now Lacson), RM Magsaysay Avenue, and Mendiola and one more at the corner of Timog and Quezon Ave and also at the Welcome Rotonda.

 

NLEX only went as far as Tabang and SLEX only reached Alabang.

 

The rage in electronic communications at the time were citizen's band (CB) radios. If we had text speak today they had CB-speak then. 10-4 good buddy, I'm 10-3 for your 2-6 (Right, I am on my way to your location). If we had Nokia and Ericsson and Moto today, they had sets like General Electric Model G, and Black Shadow and specs like 40 or 80 or 120 channels, single-sideband radio, Power Mikes, Multi-element Yagi antennas and K40 mobile antennas with magnetic mounts.

 

If you wanted what were considered the best PSPs at the time, you went to the Cork and Cleaver or the Diasy Chain along Pasay Road. Short time rates were a whopping P500 then for the girls who were pimped by the waiters in these joints.

 

The high end MPs at the time were of course Maalikaya where the presidential floor charged P800 and the VIP floor charged P500. You can also go to the second floor of the Manila Garden where they had a MP too.
