I grew up along Pertierra St. then my family moved along J.P. Rizal just across Molina. My parents had a tailor shop then known as "NIPS Tailor". I have lots of very fond memories growing up in my old neighborhood. I still remember playing on the streets with all the kids and making prohibited trips to the Sta. Ana race tracks. Lola theater was just a walk away and so too was the old Makati City Hall.Going to Glorietta, Rizal theater and Makati supermarket was a big treat for us brothers back then.

Rizal and Quad theatres were the places to watch a good movie and you park your car under the sun in one of those open parking spaces--nobody complained that it was too hot even if car air conditioning was not the norm then. The only remnants of that wonderful era that we can see still standing and have remained vastly unchanged are the 8, 9 or 10-storey the buildings along Salcedo Street, Vicente Madrigal Building.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07455598544124862438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312574.post-58980927884597435992013-05-18T08:03:31.624-07:002013-05-18T08:03:31.624-07:00It's so AMAZING to see those photos.

But I think only the District 1 gets attention, while District 2 of Makati was left alone. :( I wish, they could also revitalize the Eastern Part of the City.iamyourj98https://www.blogger.com/profile/11675304869952178010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312574.post-15772060404781134892012-07-13T21:42:32.610-07:002012-07-13T21:42:32.610-07:00Thanks for posting.

I started working in Makati in Feb 1970, and our office was in Dona Narcisa Bldg. At 6:00 pm at that time, Ayala Avenue looked deserted, and the bldgs along Paseo de Roxas going to Buendia Ave were Insular life, IBM, Dona Narcia, and China Bank. <br />a few years later, they have the Standard Bank Bldg. I remember pre Martial law, there was helicopter landed opposite of Dona Narcisa Bldg.We all looked at the window to find out who it was. It was Ninoy Aquino who went to Bank of America to withdraw money .We went down to see him and he talked to us. He said it is for his employees' payroll. The front of Dona Narcisa then was an open space, a triangle actually, and before they opened the Sebastian Ugarte Football Field. I remember when his plane crashed in the South I wonder what it is now.We used to do short cut to go to MCC to have our spaghetti and Pineapple/Orange juice. Those were the days, when life was very simple....Gloria Matig-anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34312574.post-32263177086540833632012-04-18T09:35:19.125-07:002012-04-18T09:35:19.125-07:00I always enjoyed reading and rereading this post a...I always enjoyed reading and rereading this post as i grew up in the 70's in taguig street in rizal village and those were my wonderyears and it seemed that it would never end.Almost everybody knew each other and i lived near maricel sorianos place at that street.I always felt secure in that place.

I remember the pictures posted and saw the development of Ayala Center. I remember at the time, there was no Landmark Department Store, it's just a park stretching from Greenbelt to Quad. I had fun times walking at that park. Movie houses in these areas are the nicest in Metro Manila. I remember watching the Back to the Future series in Greenbelt, Stallone movies in Quad, and a Kung Fu movie in Magallanes. I can't remember what I watched in Rizal theater. Ahhh those were the days.

We lived just off J. Rizal street. One of our neighbors was the famous actress Maricel Soriano and her family; her sister Vicky and her dad, Boy Soriano. I went to school at a private school along Pasay Road in Makati, just a few miles from our house and on weekends and after school we would often go to the Makati Commercial center and shop at Makati Supermart, which was known not just for good shopping, but for also having the best tasting spaghetti in the world! We would watch movies at the QUAD and Rizal theater, eat at the Automat and buy medicine at the Mercury drug right across the street.<BR/>But in the early 80s we packed up and moved to the then new subdivision Tahanan Village in Sucat, Paranaque, but I still continued to go to school in Makati until I graduated and moved on to college.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609693813947559032noreply@blogger.com
