The 1970's: Memories
1970!!!! That'll rule out most Filipina's on here then
What are your memories of the 70's?
I remember being in primary school and crisps cost 4p. I wonder what weight .... sure they weighed half a ton back then.
Father Christmas and the tooth fairy existed back then ..... now I know they were lies by my parents .... and they used to tell me never to lieKeith Driscoll - Administrator

I'm a ''Martial Law Baby''someone born between 1972 and 1986, during the martial law era under the Marcos administration. Martial law babies form a generation who have grown up in an environment where graft and corruption is rampant, where the police, military, and government are universally distrusted and where free speech and free press are nonexistent.,..not to mention my Mum works with National Defense and Dad is in the Airforce...disciplined young girl??? kinda ooppss but nah,am a spoiled rotten

Those were the days of recreational substance experimentation... Trial and error on dosages and stuff....

I was in the Philippines during the Martial Law era. I was "lent" by the University of Glasgow to Universiti Malaya in Kuala Lumpur to teach medical students. During that year (1978) I visited hospitals in Manila, including the recently opened Heart Center For Asia. Imelda Marcos had also opened the Cultural Center in Manila. I remember reading the glowing accounts in the local press about President Marcos, before realising that the press was controlled by the Government . Traffic was bad then (and it seems the same Jeepneys were around on my last vsit this year ). Shopping Malls were around even then but not on today's scale. Emailing and text messaging didn't exist Claire dela Fuente had released the song "Sayang" . The "Manila sound" was the sound of the seventies... the Boyfriends were already popular , and a 12 year old was in the pop charts with the disco song "Mr. D.J." - Sharon Cunetawho has since released about 40 albums.
When I arrived at NAIA this year I was met by two 32 year olds with the same surname as me ...
