I found this community on Facebook called Pinas Dekada 80. It's full of wonderful photos of things you can see in the Philippines during the 1980's. From TV shows, posters, artist, movies and places.
Here are some photos.
A lot of comment on my post about
Manila in the 1950s to the 1970's was how clean Manila was during those times. If you look at the photo above, it was still pretty clean during the 1980's.
Here you'll see Herbert Baustista and Lea Salonga. I believe they were trying to make them into a love team. Herbert Bautista eventually become the mayor of Quezon City and Lea Salonga become an international superstar from the Broadway hit Miss Saigon.
President Ferdinand Marcos and First Lady Imelda Marcos visiting President Ronald Reagan.
Who can forget the invisible jet from the TV series Wonder Woman?
Coney Island Ice Cream. I still love that more than Magnolia Ice Cream.
Voltes V, the most popular cartoon on TV until President Marcos ordered it off the air. From what I read, he didn't like the theme where they were rebelling and trying to fight the oppressive Bozanian empire. Sound like the Marcos regime doesn't it?
Before Beyblade, we had...trumpo!
See how clean Manila is then?
The only chocolate drink I knew at the time. Imports were restricted so you have limited choices on what you can buy. PX goods (imported) were popular and we used to go to Clark Air Base to buy PX goods.
It was fun riding the Calesa. Now, it's all padyak or pedicabs. See Emerald restaurant in the background and how clean Roxas Blvd was. They used to call it Dewey Blvd.
