PLDT used to issue this type of phone back in the 70's:

I recently bought a similar rotary dial unit at a tianggue. I plan to have it connected. I'm pretty certain it still works.

Similar to this?

My cousin had a tv console like this. I recall it had great sound with deep bass...

I miss the old American television programs of the 70's like Hawaii Five-0, Quincy Medical Examiner, Kojac, Petrocelli, Happy Days, Mork and Mindy, Three's Company, CHiPs, Different Strokes, The Love Boat, The Waltons, WKRP in Cincinnati, Welcome Back, Kotter, and many others.

Yeah today all we get on local television are the usual song and dance routines during lunch time and foreign tele-novelas dubbed in Tagalog in the early evenings.

 

I only watch the news on local television to know what's going on in the Philippines.

Does anyone know if this peso bill was still legal tender in the early 70's?

 

i still remember the time when my dad gave me this kind of bill.

This could have very well been our P500 bill. Sorry for being a bit off topic.

But then, Marcos still got what he wanted, courtesy of the P5 coin which came out in the mid-70s:

It's amazing how many people don't even look at old coins when paying. I, for one, just hand off coins based on what they look like based on size and color. I never really notice the tiny details such as who's on the coin, year of the coin, etc.

This one's a classic...used to buy 4 pcs of ChocNut at the nearby sari-sari store across our house while holding 4 of these as well...

There were two types of 25 centavo coins being circulated back then. The first one was on its way out while the second photo was more popularly circulated.

Those were the days when the coins were quite heavy. I surmise the 0.25 coin back then would weigh the same as the P1 coin today...

[the_sentinel]

This was probably the best and most recognizable coin back then...

Ever wondered why coin-throwing was a fixture back in the PBA circa 80's? Coins like these are thrown onto the court, with the referees or the opposing teams as targets, and if you get hit with one of these on the head, you'll suffer a gnash or a wound...deadly weapon indeed!

But if you manage to avoid serious injury, then consider the coins as tips.

Some more old peso bills.

Except for the first and last bills, I still recall these other peso bills.
