Circa 70s ulit

Sinisipag akong mag-blog ngayong umaga in the midst of labada and linis ( labadami - labango ). Sinisipag din akong mag-Tagalog for a change- a tribute to FrancisMagalona who just passed away (hindi kami magkasing-edad pero magkasing vibes ika nga. His sister Teresita or Popeye sa mga Maryknollers was a close schoolmate).
Noong panahon ng 70s ( how long was that actually ) ang mga taga-Maryknoll, Assumption, Teresiana (now Poveda) & St. Paul's ay may pa-aere na burgis. That sets them apart nga kasi in a not so nice way. There was a different manner the colloquial language was spoken. Thus the birth of the "kadiri to death" way of talking.
"Why naman, we're not going to make pasyal?" Yong mga ganoong tema ba. I plead guilty to that. If any of you is familiar with the "HotDog" group of the OPM days, these guys have a song Si Annie Batungbakal. /span>
Very typical of that era. Dennis ( I forgot his last name) captured the 70s era together with Rico Puno's Memories (namamasyal pa sa Luneta) fame.
The 70s have carved out a very unique niche culturally and politically. Siguro naging very innovative ang mga Pilipino dahil na rin sa tulak na gobyerno (naks - may nagawa pa lang mabuti ang martial law). One specific example would be the introduction of OPM - original Pilipino Music. Radio stations then were required to play at least one OPM per hour. Roll out the carpet for the likes of Heber Bartolome, Florante and the Apo Hiking Society.
