jt2003 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 (edited) What we called our friends then: pare, brad, tol, parj. No one called another person "dude." That was just too American, and during the 70s it was good (it was "in") to be Pinoy, from the Juan de la Cruz band to Banyuhay, from Florante to Sampaguita to Freddie Aguilar. You were admired if you could use the local language well. In music, there were practically no English language compositions from Filipino artists. No way, dude.

Naman!" (popularized by Babalu)"Dashalashanonsense!" (popularized by the great Pugo) Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Movie premieres were big during the 70s, especially after martial law. It was only during the premiere that the entire movie could be shown uncut. The premieres I attended/watched: "The Man with the Golden Gun""The Pacific Connection" (with Roland Dantes, promoting Arnis) Quote Link to comment

There are some English language songs though like 'Show me your smile' by APO'Dyin to tell you' by Hot Dog but most hits were written in Taglish Quote Link to comment

Di ba yan ang tawag mo kay Richard Chamberlain na bida sa "The Thorn Birds"? Yun nga lang, e, ibang term ang gamit mo noon. Yung term ba ma naiintindihan ng mga younger MTC folks. In the 70's, the sward language was born. Plus the 'f' and 'h' words. Ano fi? Fafa. Fafunta na ko. Beh boteh nga. Hanu name moh? Jhun or Pheter or Jhennie or Mharithess, or Yohleeh, whathever Nakhakhakihlabhot sa kabhadhuyahn. Whiz koh ma take. Vavu. Fafasok na ko. BADAF, badaf forever. Ang Charing. Quote Link to comment
robbietan Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 dolphy's 70's movie 'fefita fofonggay' was a major hit despite the obvious characters and the prevailing censorship during the time comedi kc kaya pinalampas ng censorship bored Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Because of pareng Anaheim doon sa dead celebrities thread, I remembered "Baltic and Company." So 70s! I don't remember if Prospero Luna was the first Baltic or if he was the replacement. What I do know is that the first Baltic died of a heart attack. But Bert Marcelo couldn't get along with the replacement. So Pugak came into the picture. The Pugak character (I can't remember his name) was introduced in the Bulletin cartoon, but I don't know if the character has remained in the cartoon. Aside from Bert Marcelo, who played Dyani, the other performers were: Prospero Luna (Baltic)Angelo Castro Jr. (sino nga ba siya doon? now an ABS-CBN biggie)Menchu Genato, now Menchu Jenson (Bebs)________ Manalo (Tom)Mely Tagasa (Miss Tapia)The original Baltic (???) I can't remember who played Mr. Golem. But he looked a bit like Eddie Gil. I also wonder if Roni Santiago ever got compensated for the use of "Miss Tapia" in "Iskul Bukol." Quote Link to comment
jt2003 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 You know you're from the 70s when ... YOU ACTUALLY BEGIN READING OBITUARIES. No kidding. You look for former bosses, revered mentors, old friends, people you haven't heard from for a long time, former girlfriends, long lost people, etc. When my former boss told me about this (reading obituaries) many years ago, I thought it was a joke. How wrong I was. Quote Link to comment
robbietan Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 the seventies brought about 'biggies' in showbiz prospero luna as baltic in baltic and company cecille inigo as dabiana, she as actually chosen in a nationwide search for the lead character for a series of movies mong - forgot the guy who played the part (carvajal?) a bano basketball player who stood 8 feet tall Quote Link to comment
