Circa70s

Bagong Pagsilang (Hymn of the New Society) - Bagong Lipunan Choral Ensemble, Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, Felipe Padilla de Leon

1972 - I was a Junior (3rd year High School) at Maryknoll College Katipunan. Marcos was the President then. September 21 1972 - he declared Martial Law. The "new" government wanted a total facelift - a new life and a new lipunan. This song came up which was constantly played to remind each and every Pilipino of the New Philippines. Several slogans came about - one of which was "Sa Ikauunlad ng Bayan, Disiplina Ang Kailangan".
There were anecdotes and stories (telling a lie) that circulated the campus circuit and the Camp Crame District. Ariel Ureta then was a popular good-looking TV personality. Siya yong counterpart ngayon ni Willie Revillame ng Wowowee ( di hamak naman na mas guwapo at may personality si Ariel Ureta). Ang kwento noon, sabi nila - Sabi raw ni Ariel Ureta sa TV,

" Sa Ikauunlad ng Bayan, bisikleta ang Kailangan."

Nagalit ang mga alipores ni General Ver (the most powerful man in the Military then), dinakip si Ariel Ureta at pinagbisikleta sa Camp Crame. Whether this was fact or fiction was never verified.
There were more stories that circulated during this 70's time. I lived those years lalo na noong papasok na ako sa UP - kainitan ng proklamasyon ng Martial Law.
