Nostalgia Manila Presents: Our Big Bagets Special!

Bagets!
The term Bagets was coined by William Martinez and Alona Alegre who came up with the idea of the movie.

William Martinez, as star of Regal Films, offered the script to Regal producer Lily Y. Monteverde (Mother Lily). The Regal producer, however, rejected the idea saying it would not make money. They offered the story to Vic del Rosario Jr., owner of the rival Viva Films. Del Rosario's condition: William Martinez, a contract star of the rival Regal, should be in the movie. William agreed.

William Martinez (Tonton) is the most senior among the main cast. He was already passed his teen years. Bagets means teener. Also starring: Herbert Bautista (Gilbert), J.C. Bonnin (Topee), Raymond Lauchengco (Arnel), Aga Muhlach (Adie), Jobelle Salvador (Melissa), Eula Valdez (Janice), Yayo Aguila (Rose), Baby Delgado (Ivy), & Chanda Romero (Christine).

Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it's the beat I seek
And I found it (just got lucky)
And I found it (just got lucky)

I never worry that your love is fake
I'm feeling easy and I'm feeling jake
Cause I found it (just got lucky)
Oh boy I found it (just got lucky)
Cos I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more

I've been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on all those silly rhymes
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door, no key was cut, that was to fit
Now I'm such a very lucky guy
Gang way, one side now, come on hear me say
Come on hear me say

We've got the answer and it's plain to see
That I'm for you and you're for me
Cause I found it (just got lucky)
Together we've found it (just got lucky)

I feel a quiver every time we kiss
The sky's the limit with a love like this
Cos I found it (just got lucky)
Together we found it (just got lucky)
Cos I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more

I've been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on all those silly rhymes
Kept my feelings all inside my heart
A locked door, no key was cut, that was to fit
Now I'm such a very lucky guy
Gang way, one side now, come on hear me say
Come on hear me say
Just got Lucky
Just got Lucky

Your technique it leaves me weak
My heart knows it's the beat I seek
Yeah I found it (just got lucky)
Oh Boy I found it (just got lucky)
Cos I never felt this way before

Big Bagets Special: Paano ba maging Bagets?

By: Jojo Devera, of Sari-Saring Sineng Pinoy

Hindi maikakailang naging bahagi ng kulturang Pinoy ang pelikulang Bagets, handog ng Viva Films at pinangungunahan nina William Martinez (Tonton), J.C. Bonnin (Toffee), Herbert Bautista (Gilbert), Raymond Lauchengco(Arnel) at Aga Muhlach (Addie). Kuwento ng limang kabataang sabay-sabay sinuong ang lahat ng problemang pang kabataan. Nariyan ang makatapos ng high school ang pag-usbong ng unang pag-ibig, ang pagmulat sa karanasang seksuwal at kung anu-ano pa. Masarap ang magkaroon ng barkada... magkakasama sa pag-gimik, sa panliligaw sa mga nakukursunadahang babae, sama-samang nagbabakasyon, nagsasayang sa wari ba'y wala nang katapusan.

Napakasarap sariwain... sinasalamin ng Bagets ang lahat ng ating pinagdaanan, bago namulat ang ating murang kaisipan sa mga nangyayari sa kapaligiran. Taong 1983 nang itanghal ang pelikulang Bagets sa mga sinehan sa buong Metro Manila. Nagsimula ito ng bagong uring kabataan. Kakaiba ang kasuotan... iba't-ibang kulay ang mga damit pati sapatos. Bagong sayaw na kinagiliwan hindi lamang ng mga kabataan kundi pati na rin ng nakakatanda. Mga tugtugin at awiting nagbigay ng aliw at inspirasyon sa lahat ng sumakay sa along dala ng pelikulang Bagets.

Walang patid na kasiyahan ang idinulot sa atin ng pelikula. Kung tutusin, sa loob ng nakaraang dalawampu't tatlong taon mula nang una nating napanood ang Bagets, naroon pa rin ang kakaibang ligayang ibinigay nito. Bakit kaya sa tuwing babalikan natin ang nakaraan hindi maiiwasang banggitin ang Bagets? Dahil kaya sa nasaksihan nating lahat ang malakas na bulusok nito sa industriya ng Pelikulang Pilipino? O di kaya'y ang biglaang pag-akyat sa rurok ng kasikatan ng limang kabataang aktor na bida sa pelikulang ito? Utang natin ang lahat kina direktor Maryo J. de los Reyes at sa manunulat na si Jake Tordesillas. Sa kanilang isipan unang nabuo ang konsepto ng Bagets. Minsang nakausap ko si Direk Maryo ay tinanong ko siya kung paano niya gustong maalala ng mga tagasubaybay ng Pelikulang Pilipino isa lang ang kanyang isinagot sa akin... na siya ang nagdirek ng pelikulang Bagets.
