Bawal Na Gamot Lyrics & Song By: Willy Garte

How could we ever forget this famous song about the negative effects of drug abuse? How ironic is it that this anthem of many drug rehab programs has an infectious melody hook ingredient, with lines in the chorus that are just as addicting as drugs.


Bawa't yugto ng sandaling halos 'di ko alam
Naglalakbay ang diwa sa ligayang nakamtan
Gamot na bawal ay ayaw ko nang tigilan
Hinahanap-hanap ko at inaasam

O, kay sarap ng buhay
Kung siya'y aking nalalanghap
akala ko ang mundo ay wala nang katapusan
At nang ako ay magising sa kasalanang nagawa
Kinabukasan ko ay nawala

Chorus:

Pangarap ko'y 'di maabot
Dahil sa bawal na gamot
Labis ko nang pinagsisihan
Ang aking kamalian

Instrumental:

O, kay sarap ng buhay
Kung siya'y aking nalalanghap
akala ko ang mundo ay wala nang katapusan
At nang ako ay magising sa kasalanang nagawa
Kinabukasan ko ay nawala

Carla Di Santos: Pre-LRT Avenida, Philcite Robot, Ignacio Santos, Melecia Santos Photos '40s-'80s Photos

Time is frozen in a single frame of film. Every bit of detail is perfectly captured by the camera lens. These photos take us back to those wonderful days when everything seemed so fresh and new, those days we wished would last forever. Relive those special moments in your life, and share your memories with Photo Nostalgia!

Good day! My family has been an avid follower of your great website for years and my dad finally decided to share some of his old photos for everyone to see. We sincerely hope you can find the time to post these. Nostalgia Manila has made a huge impact on me ever since I stumbled upon it. I can't seem to get enough of old Manila photos. I'm now a certified Nostalgia Manila addict!

My family has been into the arts & photography business, starting from my grandpa Ignacio Santos who once worked as a society photographer for the Philippine's Herald newspaper back in the 50s-60s, and one of his in-laws Pete Coniconde who was the art director of the Philippine's Herald also. Since then the Santos clan has branched out and produced generations of photo-journalists and artists. I'm currently trying to live up to the family's name by joining our family business, shooting weddings & stuff.

I've attached here some photos that my dad took during the 70's-80's, when he was still starting with photography.


Avenida before LRT Construction (CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW)

My dad thinks this was taken around late 70's or early 80's, when LRT was still to be constructed. Note structures eg Good Earth emporium, State Cinema, Shoe World, Madison Shoe Store, Fairmart, Weston, Joy Mart Budget Store, Avenue, et al. Sign says "Rizal Ave-Carriedo St. to J. Abad Santos closed closed to traffic due to LRT construction."

Me & my family in front of a giant robot at Philcite back in the mid-80s. (Why don't they have build stuff like this anymore?) My bro & I were originally so thrilled to see it but the summer heat was so frustrating we couldn't even bear to pose in front of it for too long. I was 5 or 6 i think.

My grandmother Melecia Santos, taken on top of Philippine's Herald building, overlooking the main Post Office, circa 1948-49.

My grandfather Ignacio Santos, with his view camera, 1940's.

Many thanks to our good friend Carla Di Santos, who was kind enough to share with us these wonderful photos.

A Flock Of Seagulls - I Ran
"I walked along the avenue. I never thought Id meet a girl like you; Meet a girl like you."

Ang pinaka popular na kanta ng A Flock Of Seagulls ay naging malaking hit sa US noong 1982, dahil sa pagpapalabas ng music video na paulitulit sa MTV. Maraming naaliw sa futuristic style ng set ng video, na kung saan binalot ang buong set sa aluminum foil. Nakakapagtaka at hindi masyadong sumikat ang kanta sa UK kung saan nanggaling ang grupo. Ngutit nakatikim sila ng pagsikat sa US at Australia. Isa ito sa paburitong hits na sinasalang sa mga mix tape noong 80's, kasama na rin ang kanilang isa pang hit, ang "The More You Live The More You Love".

Sine Nostalgia: Huwag Hamakin: Hostess 1978

Nostalgia Manila in cooperation with Sari-Saring Sineng Pinoy proudly presents, Sine Nostalgia! Featuring movie critiques and reviews of the most memorable Filipino movies of the 70's and 80's by the top authority in reviewing nostalgic films, Jojo Devera. Learn about that films that shaped Filipino Pop Culture, and the movies that left their mark in Philippine cinema history.


Buhay HOSTESS: HUWAG HAMAKIN

Itinatanghal sa Huwag Hamakin: Hostess (JPM Productions, Inc., 1978) ang salimuot ng buhay siyudad sa pamamagitan ng mga pangunahing tauhang sina Tonya (Nora Aunor) at Alice (Alma Moreno). Sila ang sentro, ang nagpapadaloy sa iba't-ibang salaysay ng pagpuputa sa ngalan ng pag-ibig. Katulong si Tonya sa tinitirahang boarding house ni Johnny (Orestes Ojeda), isang estudyante. Di naglaon, nahulog ang loob ni Tonya sa simpatikong binata. Samantala, nakilala ni Johnny si Alice sa kolehiyo at agad itong naakit sa angking kagandahan ng dalaga. Nagpupumilit magtapos sa kolehiyo si Alice nang makaahon sa kahirapan at magkaroon ng magandang kinabukasan kaya nag-aaral ito sa araw at namamasukan bilang hostess sa gabi. Upang matutustusan ang kanyang mga pangangailangan, kinumbinsi ni Johnny si Tonya na mag-hostess at pinangakuan niya ito ng kasal sa sandaling makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Sa club unang nagkakilala sina Tonya at Alice hanggang sa maging magkaibigan ang dalawa. Itinuro ni Alice kay Tonya ang lahat ng kanyang nalalaman ukol sa kanilang hanapbuhay.Kapwa nila inililihim sa isa't-isa ang identidad ng kanilang mangingibig. Lingid sa kaalaman ng dalawa, sinusustentuhan din si Johnny ni Merle (Bella Flores), ang floor manager ng club na kanilang pinapasukan. Nang dumating ang pagkakataon kanilang matuklasang si Johnny ang kapwa nila kasintahan, walang tigil sa pasaringan sina Alice at Tonya. Titigil lamang sa pagtatalo ang dalawa nang ipangako ni Johnny sa bawat isa na ito ang magsasabit ng sampaguita sa araw ng kanyang pagtatapos sa kolehiyo. Ngunit isang di inaasang pangyayari ang magaganap hanggang sa matutunang tanggapin nina Tonya at Alice ang katotohanan.

Walang pagkukunwaring isinapelikula ng Huwag Hamakin: Hostess ang mga kompleksidad na inihain nito. Kasiya-siyang kuwento ito ng mga karaniwang babaeng nakupot sa pag-ibig at pagmamahal. Iniwasan ng pelikula ang puti at itim na depiksyon ng mga puta. Sa halip, binigyan ng bagong imahen ang mga melodramatikong arketipong ito nang may sensitibong pagbatid sa panig na tumatampok sa halip na kumakalimot sa mahapding mga dimensiyon ng mga karanasang babae sa di-matatag at laging nagbabagong papel ng kababaihan sa lipunan. Ipinahiwatig ang kompleksidad na ito sa pamamagitan ng matipid na espasyo at kumpas ng mga eksena at bihasang direktoryal na pagmamaneobrang nagpapatuloy sa tensiyon ng nagbabanggaang ideyolohiya ng pagiging babae. Mas dramatiko ring isinakonkreto ito ng mahusay na pagganap ni Nora Aunor bilang katulong na namasukan bilang hostess upang matustusan ang pag-aaral ng lalaking iniibig, pinapanood natin siya habang dumaraan sa proseso ng lumbay, pagkabigo at pagtanggap. Matingkad ang kanyang pagkakaganap dahil hinahatak niya tayong damhin ang kanyang mga dilemma habang nakikibaka siyang matanggap ang pagtataksil ng kasintahan. Katangi-tangi rin ang pagganap ni Alma Moreno at totoong nabawasan ang kanyang hysterical gestures sa pelikulang ito ngunit wala rin naman siyang ipinakitang bagong kakayahan para pangatawanan ang papel ng isang babaeng pilit ibinabangon ang sarili upang di-tuluyang masadlak sa kinagisnang uri ng pamumuhay. Humahantong man ang resolusyon sa antas ng pantasya, nang mapilitang magkasundo ang magkakatunggali lalo na nang kanilang matuklasan ang katotohanang may sariling pamilya ang lalaki. Sa pagtatapos ng pelikula, pilit na binuo ng dalawa ang pira-piraso ng kanilang nadurog na sarili at bumalik sa pagiging babae ang esensiya ng kanilang pagkatao.
