Ryan Salentes: Sharon Cuneta & Gabby Concepcion Matabungkay Beach Resort 80's Photo

My family with the most popular love team in the Philippine Movies during the 80's. This photo was taken sometime in 1980 or '81 during our excursion at Matabungkay Beach Resort. I was the kiddo in the blue jumper & cap. To my left is my sister thumb-sucking. The surprised lady with a towel on the far right end is my Mom together with my Dad standing right next to her. The other women in the photo are my aunts and chums. We were astonished with the young Sharon Cuneta paired with fellow teeny bopper Gabby Concepcion, whom at that time filming their movie, "P.S. I Love You". Sharon & Gabby were the screen's most popular lover team to beat during their prime in the 80's.

That's my groovy Dad. His striking pose in this picture showed how he loved to get on the floor and shindig :)

Can you identify this Makati building?



Our good friend Eric Vasilik has been sharing some really good photos with us here at Nostalgia Manila. Check them out if you haven't seen them, they're fantastic!

Eric's Photos:
Rizal Park, Manila Photos '60s-'80s
Sulo Restaurant, Makati Photos '60s
Rizal Park, Makati, Manila Hotel, American Cemetery, The Army Navy Club Photos '60s-'80s


Now we need a bit of help identifying this building. We're not sure where in Makati these photos were taken, and aren't even sure if the building still exists today. The first photo was taken in the 60's; the cars in the foreground give away the decade this photo was taken. The second photo was taken in the 80's when two floors of the building burned down. Eric's father had an office in the building, and it's been rumored that the cause of the fire was arson.

Does anyone have a clue where in Makati these photos were taken, and the name of the building? Is it still around today?

Jai Alai Building Taft Avenue, Manila Mid '50s Photo

The Jai Alai building was completed in 1940, designed by architect Welton Becket, a friend of Hollywood celebrities and designer of the homes of such screen legends as James Cagney and Cesar Romero, as well as of Los Angeles airport. The Art Deco style building had a sleek, cylindrical glass front was said to evoke the velocity of the Jai Alai game, in which pelotaris use curved scoops to hurl a rubber ball at speeds of up to 200 km an hour against three walls of a court.

Among the jewels of that period was Taft Avenue, a mini-Champs Elysee, with grand homes, sparkling movie houses, colleges and spectacular Art Deco buildings. One of the finest buildings was the Jai Alai stadium, opened in 1940 as a home for the Basque game of the same name and quickly adopted as a playground by the rich and glamorous. Unfortunately, demolition began on July 15, 2000 on the orders of Mayor Lito Atienza.

Many thanks to Philippine Heritage Watch.
