Back to the ’70s Era…

Masarap balikan ang mga bagay na nagpapaalala sa atin noon, di

ba? Tulad ng mga ito…..

The highlights of our era is the proclamation of Martial Law in Sept. 21, 1972 by President Ferdinand Marcos

Kontrolado ang telebisyon at newspapers; may curfew mula 12 mn hanggang 4 am; maraming nahuling sibilyan; maraming bawal……

ITO ANG THEME SONG….

(which we were made to sing after flag ceremony!)

May bagong silang

May bago ng buhay

Bagong bansa, bagong galaw

Sa bagong lipunan

Nagbabago ang lahat

Tungo sa pag-unlad

At ating itanghal

Bagong Lipunan…..

Ang click na click na loveteam noon….

Also, in mid-70’s, natuto akong magparty. Funk ang uso at walang ilaw kundi ang ilaw lang ng stereo, bakuran pa. Ang mga usong grupo at kanta? Ito…!

Yeah, I feel sanctified…..

How deep is your love is your love, how deep is your love….

I found a diary underneath the tree, and started reading about me…

On a cold dessert highway, cool wind in my hair…

There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitter is gold and she’s buying a stairway to heaven..

You, you make me feel brand new, for God bless me with you…

“one day in your life, you’ll remember a place, someone’s touching your face…..

Ano man ang sabihin nila, ika’y patuloy kong mamahalin….

Parang ice cream na bilad sa ilalim ng araw……

Could we just stop and talk awhile get to know each other….

Laki sa layaw, laki sa layaw, jeprox…

Ahhh, awitin mo at isasayaw ko…

Namamasyal pa sa Luneta ng walang pera…

Baby, kung mahal ka nyang talaga, sige pakasal ka, sige

pagpatuloy mo na….

Ewan ko ba kung bakit type kita, di ka naman gwapo…

In 1971 coke came up with arguably the best of all cola commercials…. Kanta tayo……
