noong 80's po paborito ko pong pasyalan ang Avenida,hanggan ngayon,diko ipagpapalit ang Avenida,nakakapanghinayang lang bakit nila ginigiba ang mga historical na building,dapat ginawa nalang tourist attraction,sayang na sayang talaga,para sa akin Avenida is the Best
lets be honest pangit na nang avenida pero at least buhay na bihay parin. di narin yan marerevive sa dati. unless totally gibain at paalisin mga tao. kaso manila eh. naalala ko yung sinabi ni erap na mahirap mareconstruct ang avenida dahil sa dami nang tao at toxic ang paggiba nang mga lumang building. meaning kailangan umalis mga tao sa paligid nyan. kaso san sila itatambak.
Ggibain po tlaga yung mga lumang structure/building dyan dhil delikado na po lalu na kpag lumindol. Avenida belongs to the past. Hindi na po yan maibabalik sa dati except kung gibain lhat yan at tayuan ng mga mas modernong gusali.
Dumating kami rito sa Manila, 1958, 13 yrs palang ako, Ngayon 80 na Ako , sa lahat ng panahon na Yan dito na kami nanirahan, sa hirap at ginhawa, sa kabigu an at tagumpay, yang downtown Manila ay territory ko Yan, lahat ng ipinakita mo ay alam ko at Nakita ko , Hindi mo nabangit Ang sine Clover malapit sa Jones Tulay at Feati, salamat sa video Hindi na Ako makagala ng malayo... nostalgia, memories

Thank you for bringing back the memories of Avenida. My mother and I used to shop at GoodEarth Emporium to buy shoes and bag when I was a kid. We used to buy our school supplies at Alemar's.Thank you very much. I started to subscribe to your channel because it is so informative. Mabuhay ka. 👍

avenida rizal was used to be my old stomping ground. 1977 when i was attending my college days in the feati university and living on the boarding house near the far eastern university . i used to walk the distance going to the school and back just to save some centavo from the jeepney fare, after all the traffic back then was already horrible and the heat and humidity from all around you was very unpleasant so i just decided to walk and be entertained by all the hustle and bustle around me. and i am glad that i did specially after seeing your short documentary it brings me back to an old memory. good earth emporium and the shoe mart was our resting spot just to cool our selves during the summer heat. thanks kayoutubero
@@mariodiaz4694 no i am not from catbalogan, rather i was born and raised in olongapo city. i was never been in catbalogan samar but i heared it was a nice place.
Thank you once again for taking me down memory lane. Before I migrated to the US in 1988, I used to walk down Avenida and Good Earth was one of my favorite stores!
LRT ang sumira sa Avenida. Dumilim na kc sa Avenida nung tinayo yang LRT. Lalong nawala ang mga sinehan nung nagkaroon ng mga malls. Tabi tabi ang mga department store dyan dati gaya ng Joymart, fairmart, fair ctr, good earth, metropole , plaza fair ,COD at Isetan tapat ng SM.
Ang mga ala-ala sa akin ng Avenida Rizal ay ang magkakaroon nung ng maraming Movie houses ang paborito ay ang Universal theater, na halos ng pinekula ni Rock Hudson rip ay pinalalabas , iyon ang makasaysayang sinihan para sa akin, dito ako nanunuod ng sine noon. Sayang ang pagkawala ng Rizal Avenue....miss it.Hindi na maibabalik ang masayang araw naming nabuhay noong dekada ,50-60 at 70.maraming masasayaing araw ang ginugulol namin dito sa Avenida Rizal....salamat sa Ala-ala......Job well done!!!
Ang galing mo talaga Fern gala ako sa Avenida lahat ng gusto kong nakita nai-feature bilhin talaga salamat sa focus you make me smile god bless you all the time
Maraming salamat sa feedback Fern lahat ng mga video mo lagi kong pinanunuod Saludo ako sa iyo May the Almighty God bless and keep you away from harm whenever you’re doing your best endeavor. Thank you!!!
tang na sa tuwing makikita ko ‘tong mga old pictures ng Avenida gusto kong umiyak! Part kasi ng kamusmusan ko yang lugar na yan eh! Napaka-ganda ng lugar na yan specially sa gabi! Dapat dyan na-preserve!! Nawasak lahat nung itayo yung buwiset na LRT!! Kung ako ang masusunod gigibain ko yang parte na nasa Carriedo, at hanggang Bambang na lang! Then it’s-restore ko yang Avenida to its former glory!
naalala ko lahat yan dahil 9 years ako nung first time kong nakapunta jan sa sta. cruz mag isa nung 1964 at nung nag high school ako jan kami bumibili ng mga parts ng mga radio at amplifier na project namin nuon wala pa ang lrt sa may recto nandun na ung roman super cinerama buhay pa ang gala theather at un odeon cinema sa kanto ng avenida at recto sikat nuon ang misericordia
Fern-Nice to recall Reminishing yesteryears ,Avenida Rizal ,Carriedo,Claro M Recto,QUIAPO,Royal Hotel,I remember we stay on those area when we are in Manila.Thanks for vlogging interesting.
Galing naman! Ka youtubero, you did an excellent job! Maganda ang mga documentary mo. Sana igawa mo rin si PRRD ng documentary para makita ng buong Mundo ang authors perspective. Thank you ka youtubero. Cellphone lang ang gamit mo pero rock ang dating!
Very nostalgic, thank you for helping us reminisce our younger years... I was born in sta. Cruz mla. And i remember growing up in this vicinity with all its pomp and glory... Please tell us more about clover theater, goodwill bookstore and C. O. D. Dept. Store...
Thank you for your effort in creating these videos Sir Fern. Nanonood ako kahit old videos mo na at ang dami at makabuluhan. Mas maganda ung ganitong content kesa mga prank prank ng mga vloggers, thank you and Godbless you po. 😊
Wow. Good job Fern. Nag enjoy ako dahil bumalik ang mga memoriya ko noong bata ako. Noong late 1960s dinadala kami ng Tiyahin ko sa Good Earth para bumili ng school supplies, clothes at siyempre after shopping sa 5th floor may restaurant. Favourite ko ang spaghetti at halo halo.
Napakalinaw at napakaganda ng presentation ang mga video mo sir, complete with accurate history and facts. Loyal subscriber here! Good job and keep up the good work!
Carriedo my favorite place to walk with during college days at Feati Lalo sa tabi na Isetan heading quaipo church after after which siesta punta binondo gang china town teeming with Chinese restau and kalesa then where we used to order Mami And plate size siopao (pork buns). The same place where I met my better half along quiapo underpass a love at first sight experience when she studied in MLQU.
Nakaka teary eyed nman episode ito..daming memories po kkc nmin with our tatay...lagi po kami dyan..sa avenida. Business po kc nya sa ronquillo..nag se sell po ng mga basketball volleyball nets sa mga chinese😢❤❤ ..
Iyak mandin ako ang sarap balikan sana na preserve sila. Salamat man den at naging part sila ng aking high school and college life late 80's and early 90's.
Taga pampanga ako born 1953 edad ko ngayon 71 yrs old .tatay ko nagttrabaho sa tabora divisoria tumira rin kami sa caloocan 4rth avenue.year 1958 to 60 palipat lipat ng tirahan.maraming kamag.anak sa metro manila kaya alam ko ang mga establisyemento o strutura maynila caloocan pasay mandaluyong san juan Quezon city at iba pang bayan sa metro manila . Narrating ko rin ang laguna noong edad 6 taon gulang ako. Napakasarap gunitain yung panahong late 60 ' to early 70's nag aral din ako sa Guzman institute of Tech. 1973 bilang isang teenager enjoy ko panahon yn.
Ako po lumaki sa Tondo pero nagagawi kami dyan dahil jeepney driver papa ki 1976 ako nag aaral sa Francisco Benetiz Elem Sch marami ako good memories sa Maynila lalo na sa Luneta napakaganda para sa kin ng Manila noon.
Very nice👍. Yr 1981 noong nag college ako sa Maynila kaya popular sa akin ang lugar na yan. Sa Bustillos at Balic balic kami tumira noon. Nakamiss mga sinehan na nandiyan sa Avenida. Odeon, Galaxy, State at iba pa na nasubukan kong panooran ng mga pelikula noon. Along Recto malapit sa Avenida yung Roben Theater na noon namasyal si Rudy Fernandez. Hard to believe wala na mga sinehan ngayon. Matagal ng panahon ang nakaraan. Good job ang ganda. Brings back good memories 👍
Very nice Sir Fern, you really dug unto history . hope that you also unearth the Golden age of Philippine Cinema. Thanks for the nice contribution , it enkindled my love for history all the more .
Very informative. Since yr 1968 up to about 2016 I explored, roamed, amazed, happy, enjoyed, feared, spent some time in this area (@Avenida Rizal). I about year 2016 the place became so dangerous & filthy that compelled me to stopped threading these roads. Maybe, now yr 2022 is the time for me to go back spent some time to visit reminisce my past in these area probably with my old friends. Imagine in my college years I walk back & forth from c. m. recto - quiapo - avenida rizal back to c.m.recto just to watch a good movie show. 👍🏻😎.
Masasabi kong never pa akong nag lakad sa street of Manila ng mga few hours. Siguro dahil narin sa I spent most of my younger years here in Canada. Sa darating na panahon , we will try. Kakainggit ang mga tao na naglalakad sa kalsada. Thanks again sa vlog.
Wow, kayoutubero.galing ng research mo. Worth my time. Nostalgia. Was a UP D student 1960 to 1965. Kaya naman, I shopped at all the stores and saw movies at Odeon, Galaxy and Ideal theaters. As a child taken to Opera House to watch live shows. Thank you for your work and posts.
Paborito naming kainan ay nandyan sa Avenida, before catching the bus, it's either papuntang Sapang Palay o Angeles City. Brings back great memories, thanks so much for giving me the Nostalgic feeling. Salamat at Mabuhay po kayo Sir.
May pwesto kami dati sa Garcia Building so naabutan ko pa ang heyday ng Avenida. Halos lahat ng sinehan sa kahabaan nya napasok ko. State, Ever, Universal, Lord's, Jeanet, Avenue, Odeon. Mamili ng damit sa Syvels at Otis. Maglibang sa carnival rides sa rooftop ng Good Earth. Sigh! The Good Ole days. Thank you for walking us down memory lane.
Almost the establishment you feature in this segment are the memories of my childhood. I grow up in this place since late 70s coz' this is our favorite hangout of my family. Like you said shopping 🛍️, eating in a restaurant and watching movies. And my father was working in Otis Dept. Store in Carriedo before. I feel got sentimental😔 coz' it brings back a lot of happy memories to me as I've watched your post and for me I like Avenida before. A lot of beautiful historical Bldgs. and you can feel the true spirit of happiness in this place. I truly missed Avenida before. You did a good job 👍 it's informative and enjoyable although I feel sad😢 I love 💓 luv 💕 it.
Yes me too loves avenida my parents and grandparents always bring us to this place and escolta when we were young as elementary grades we always have our shopping spree with our parents enjoyed those places happy memories miss you avenida
Thank you Fern for this beautiful vlog. You did one fantastic job on your research. But in all your "Noon at Ngayon" episodes, for me personally.. this is the saddest. I was misty eyed. It was sort of a drastic transformation in my lifetime. I guess it's just bound to happen, we just have to accept changes. Thank you to Mayor Isko, he was able to saved some. Hanggang sa muli, mabuhay ka and God bless.
Maraming salamat Fern sa video mo. You made me feel so young again. My father use to worked for many years at Ideal theatre, before leaving my country I also worked in Avenida and I enjoyed all those years being there, the restaurants, stores like Goodearth emporium. I appreciate your good job in putting this video together, mabuhay ka!
Thank you for showing the old Avenida Rizal I used to go to FEATI U and live in M Hizon by San Lazaro Race Track and Hospital. It brings memories as student. Watching from New York City. Keep up the good work 👍❤️
Avenida rizal where San Lazaro hospital north general a espirito Santo catholics school goes all the way to Blumentret going calaocan ? I remember where shoe mart going to avenida rizal going to escolta that crossing lots of ppl were pick pocketters are so rampant I heard even in qiapo police don't even care if someone is robbing you ... Thank you fern for this documentary amazing 👏 bringing back the past mostly live In Manila goes to ust and Arellano I experienced the flooding on rainy days omg yikes in ust the entrance open for car going drop off student in medical buildings we go ust church every morning , there's little qiapo restaurants, we used to go central market ? Qiapo to church baclaran every Wednesday; shopping at shoe mart going to escolta avenida rizal now looks different due to LRT and going to mega mall more modern where everything is there restaurants movies shopping I never been to those areas scared now to go those old places 😅 like ur not safe, I love mayor isko he really did a good job Cleaning the city specifically those Lawton plaza seen the heros sculptures hopefully whoever will take over as a mayor will continue to beautify this places for tourist to see Manila clean ...
Your vlog is not only educational for the young generation but also brought back memories for oldies like me. You do your research unlike some vloggers. Thank you and more power to you!
Wow ! after leaving Manila for the USA in 1977 , here we go , am watching the streets more familiar to me during my college years ,what a nostalgic feeling . I remember Raon near Life Theater, there was this small alcove where my sister and I used to eat fresh Lumpia and Coke , that was best Lumpia I’ve ever tasted . Thank you for putting this on You Tube .
Hello there thank u for watching. Sana po mapanood nyo ang part 2 ng avenida, also pls watch my video Quezon Boulevard, the place of lumpia where u used to buy was on that video😊😊☺️🙏🙏🙏
Wow! Thank you for taking us back down memory lane and for taking the time to take us on a virtual tour of where the old buildings once stood. I appreciate the historical context that you have explored to make this video. Though we miss the old Manila we have to move with the times. Again, kudos to you!
As an adolescent growing up in the late 60's and early 70's (before the big malls}, this was the coolest place to be. Your senses just come alive as you loose yourself in the bustling noise and dizzying sights. The neon lights in the evening turns this place magical especially as it gets closer to Christmas. Somehow, Petula Clark's "Downtown" always reminds me of this place. Thanks for your vlog... very educational and entertaining.
Spot on! Petula Clark's Downtown was a hit! The word downtown was then used by people to refer to shopping areas around the Metro, most especially Avenida Rizal. I guess you're aware that since chilhood, Petula's Downtown has morphed into a Christmas Song - played consistently in the air waves every Yuletide season!!!
Our last family vacation was on March of 73. We stayed in Avenida Hotel. I was 9 years old. That December of same year,, my father died. Years afterwards, I worked in Manila for 15 long years, but everything was already different, with the sudden emergence of LRT then MRT. Your vlog is a time travel for me. Nostalgic, sad but I enjoyed it. Many thanks for all the memories it brought back.
KYT as always you brought me back to my childhood days. Thank you. Just FYI, what appears to be a PhilTrust bank branch now at the corner of Avenida and Carriedo used to be a department store called ShoeWorld. Also, Good Earth emporium suffered a fire in the upper floors during the LRT construction. It was closed for nearly a year as it went thru renovations.
thank you again for your lovely vlogs of memorable places and rizal ave. is part of my existence I grew up in helios st. and echague st. , just infront of feati university near clover theater and inday theater,beside the tallest building then the ten story great eastern hotel. I remember when i was kid after school, i would run to the feati where larry mumar would be waiting for me to play bsketball,his father Lauro the Fox Mumar was the coach and athletic director of the school, later when I was a teenager I would play with danny florencio, bert casal,che poblete, ed gamboa among others.I grew up walking the avenida back and forth extending to recto ave. quezon blvd , raon st, . I attende Feati then transfered to TIP raon st. I would still walk around the avenida , quezon blvd grid.Going home i missed my favorite hangout the Paro paro restaurant and Cafe Ronquillo , the singers and the lovely ladies
Before the LRT was constructed along Rizal Avenue, Rizal Avenue was well lighted, from sunlight during the day and lamp posts in the night and was a two-way street. Famous landmarks were the Good Earth Emporium, Fairmart, Madison Shoe Store, a popular burger house (there was no Jollibee yet at that time) and a revolving restaurant.
I remember that burger house, right beside a shoe store I just can't remember the name anymore. It was between Raon and Soler sts, northbound, nearer to Raon. The burger was P1.50/2.50, around that price. Yeah, it was yummy and big. More than enough to fill me up.
Thank you, pina alala mo iyong binata pa ako 1978 - 1979 where i enjoyed so much , from Baguio City ako i used to ride Phil Rabbit Bus located their terminal near odeon theatre avenida, more power
Thank you sir for bringing us back our old memories. I saw the store , Metropole Emp. (beside Merced Drug -7:32) that gave me the chance to work way back in 1982. Malaki ang ambag nitong lugar s akin dahil dito ako nag umpisa mag trabaho pagka tapos mag high school mula s probinsya.
Thank you very much for showing the old and new Avenida. Avenida was my world when I was a student in Manila in the 70s. How I wanted to see Avenida now, but could not travel because of Covid. Thank you for pointing out the buildings I used to know. I really appreciate what you showed. How could I essay my profound thanks of what you did. Godbless.
Was born late 50s in Manila, ang dami ng pagbabago. Super tahank you sir for showcasing in your blogs the many interesting places and memories of Manila. God bless.
Back in the Old Days, a lot of beautiful Art Deco Art Modern Architecture that exist. I love your documentary on different buildings, department stores, Cinemas and more. It was very beautiful even before late 70s & pre-LRT days when I was a teenager growing up in Manila. It became rundown when they built the LRT and people start going to Cubao & Makati for shopping & entertainment. Thanks to Mayor Isko Moreno he fixed Avenida Rizal a little bit but a lot of the exterior are still rundown. Here in Toronto our main street downtown got rundown too but they took an effort to regentrify the place; now its bustling with beautiful buildings & retailers and our very own Times Square with huge billboards.
I like ur videos..nakakamiss ung mga lugar. I was a student in manila in 1974.. Gala ako dati pag tapos ang klase sa Recto Ave at Avenida Rizal... nakakamiss talaga..
Lagi din aq dyan dumadaandyan lalot sa may Quiapo Kc Ngssimaba aq Paglumuwas aq Manila Galing Probincya..kya pag-uwe q ulit Ppunta nnman aq dyan..Thank you Sir. Sa Video Update.. God Bless Po
Natatandaan ko halos lahat ang mga landmarks ng ave rizal mula Tayuman hanggang yong huling kalye pagkatapos ngcarriedo.mula mag college hanggang nagretiro sa trabaho dinadaanan ko mula tayumam hanggang carriedo .masaya ang ave rizal hanggang itayo ang lrt. Namatay ang maraming negosyo, Nadugyot ito hangang iayos ni mayor yorme.
Hello Fern I was about to mention the back ground of Galaxy theater but it was already pointed out by Orchestra. One more famous movie house in Avenida Rizal was forgotten to mention in your vlog.. The Ever theater.. where Cleopatra and The Sound of Music was shown. The latter was shown for more than a year. Ever was very close to State theater if I'm not mistaken. The iconic bookstores in Avenida Rizal were National bookstore, Goodwill bookstore ( where I buy my plastic scale models) and Alemar's all adjacent to one another. Thank you uli and God bless Fern.
@@josephmartin7328 Hello Joseph, now you got me in this one..Lol, I'll take a blind shot on that, let me juggle my memory, ..is it Luisa and Sons?! Paminsan- minsan may barilan sa bar😂
Bilib talaga ako sa yo Fern! I wonder where you are getting your historical data (The National Library? The Philippine Archives Society?, etc.). You always re-live my younger days during the Dekada Sitenta thru your "Noon at Ngayon" series. Yang 4th Floor ng Good Earth Emporium ang lakwatsahan namin ng mga classmates ko kasi nanjan ang mga games nuong araw tulad ng pinball machines, football machines, jukebox, etc. Sa Shoemart naman ako namimili ng mga sapatos ko, imagine P40 na genuine leather shoes ay napakamahal na nuon. Thanks again Fern, I also follow each and everyone of all your vlogs. I can't wait to see more from you! By the way, I am a retired 68 years young Civil/Structural Engineer, your avid follower! God bless!
Thank you for sharing. It brought back memories when I saw the capt Pepe bldg. My father worked part time at that bldg. used to go there many years back. Please feature Pandacan where I grew up . God bless. Watching from Bay Area California.
Omg, I don’t recognise the Avenida, Escolta, Quiapo, of the 1960’s . Thank you so much for bringing very happy memories of thes3 places I used to love: Good Earth Emporium which introduced in Manila the 1st escalator! Shoemart in Quiapo was my favourite shopping place, as a young college student. Alemar’s was an up-market Bookstore as far as my friends are concerned then, it had a mini Cafe within Alemars that served delicious Puto W/ dinuguan, Mami, etc. Odeon Theatre was classy too,at that time. Syvels Shoe Store in Escolta was my first stop for shoes, they’re a bit pricey than SM but they had very stylish & good quality shoes. Oh, the nostalgia is too much, thanks for the tour. 🇵🇭
When my mom was still little, her mother, together with her siblings stroll along Rizal Avenue to do their shopping (primarily at Shoe Mart and Cinderella). Then, they will have lunch there at Silver Star Panciteria; the very place famous for their Pancit Guisado, Lechon, and Jumbo Siopao. She also told me that they also hang out at Ideal Cinema where they saw Charlton Heston's movie, the Ten Commandments, whose special effects were spectacular at that time.
Very good job Fern. I enjoyed watching your blog what has transpired through the years in Avenida. It brings back beautiful memories of the movie theaters my Dad brought me to watch movies during my student days. Hope to visit the place once this COVID epidemic is over. Thank you and God bless.
Fern, I am teary eyed watching this video, brings back childhood memories…all the theaters featured I have been there…thank you very very much…pinanganak, lumaki at kinalakhan ko ang glory days ng Maynila.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I liked to go up to the top floor of Good Earth emporium because that was the toys section way back in the 70s. I can also remember there were amusement rides at the top. I'm amazed that the Alemars sign hasn't been removed after all this years. Maybe someone can take it and preserve. Do you know if the Enriques art supply is still around at the corner of Recto avenue?
Bakit kaya wala sa atin kultura ang pag-preserve ng mga gusali. Parang wala tayong nakalipas na magagandang nakaraan na puwedeng ipagmalaki sa sumusunod na henerasyon. Maganda ang vlog mo, nostalgic. Ipagpatuloy mo. Congratulations.
Salamat at nagkaroon ako ng idea kung ano ang itsura ng Avenida noon. Madalas po ako sa Avenida dahil sa Good Earth Plaza ako naglalaro ng table tennis...
Correction lang po, hindi po 1980’s giniba ang odeon theatre…. It was sometime between 2005-2010 hindi ako pwedeng magkamali dahil 4 na beses kong pinanood sa odeon ang titanic noong 1997 at nung umalis ako ng bansa year 2005 eh parang inuumpisahan na ang LRT line 2 sa recto, pero andun pa yung building ng odeon kaya lang di na sya operating that time…. Thank you for showing what it looks like before, sarap balikan ng nakaraan
Ako pinanganak ng 1956, ngayun 67 n a ako umalis ako s a pilipinas taon 1976, punta ng america, marami din akung natatandaan ako noon, ng mapanood ko ito nalunkot ako gusto man umiyak, dahil naalala ko ng ally mallit pa..subrang miss ko ang pilipinas, Kung saan ako pinanganak, Laki ako ng Manila, Pasay city ...mabuhay kayung lahat, god bless you all.

Ah talaga po? Nice po😊🙏
Galing naman! Ka youtubero, you did an excellent job! Maganda ang mga documentary mo. Sana igawa mo rin si PRRD ng documentary para makita ng buong Mundo ang authors perspective. Thank you ka youtubero. Cellphone lang ang gamit mo pero rock ang dating!
Very nostalgic, thank you for helping us reminisce our younger years... I was born in sta. Cruz mla. And i remember growing up in this vicinity with all its pomp and glory... Please tell us more about clover theater, goodwill bookstore and C. O. D. Dept. Store...
Thank you for your effort in creating these videos Sir Fern. Nanonood ako kahit old videos mo na at ang dami at makabuluhan. Mas maganda ung ganitong content kesa mga prank prank ng mga vloggers, thank you and Godbless you po. 😊
Salamat po
Wow. Good job Fern. Nag enjoy ako dahil bumalik ang mga memoriya ko noong bata ako. Noong late 1960s dinadala kami ng Tiyahin ko sa Good Earth para bumili ng school supplies, clothes at siyempre after shopping sa 5th floor may restaurant. Favourite ko ang spaghetti at halo halo.
Mayor Isko’s one of impossible dream achievement. Kudos from 🇨🇦 Canada. I am one of your No.1 supporter. Win or lose. God bless you and your family.
saraaap balikan, kakatuwa na nakakalungkot... salamat po sa pag vlog ng avenida..
Napakalinaw at napakaganda ng presentation ang mga video mo sir, complete with accurate history and facts. Loyal subscriber here! Good job and keep up the good work!
Salamat boss😁😁🙏🙏
Thank you brings back memories.all your historical Blog ay nagbibigay education at ligaya.salamat muli.
Carriedo my favorite place to walk with during college days at Feati Lalo sa tabi na Isetan heading quaipo church after after which siesta punta binondo gang china town teeming with Chinese restau and kalesa then where we used to order Mami And plate size siopao (pork buns). The same place where I met my better half along quiapo underpass a love at first sight experience when she studied in MLQU.
Nakaka teary eyed nman episode ito..daming memories po kkc nmin with our tatay...lagi po kami dyan..sa avenida. Business po kc nya sa ronquillo..nag se sell po ng mga basketball volleyball nets sa mga chinese😢❤❤
..
Iyak mandin ako ang sarap balikan sana na preserve sila. Salamat man den at naging part sila ng aking high school and college life late 80's and early 90's.
Nice content again idol….batang maynila ako dami ko na tutunan syo 👌👏stay safe idol 🙏
Thank u so much po🙏🙏
Taga pampanga ako born 1953 edad ko ngayon 71 yrs old .tatay ko nagttrabaho sa tabora divisoria tumira rin kami sa caloocan 4rth avenue.year 1958 to 60 palipat lipat ng tirahan.maraming kamag.anak sa metro manila kaya alam ko ang mga establisyemento o strutura maynila caloocan pasay mandaluyong san juan Quezon city at iba pang bayan sa metro manila . Narrating ko rin ang laguna noong edad 6 taon gulang ako. Napakasarap gunitain yung panahong late 60 ' to early 70's nag aral din ako sa Guzman institute of Tech. 1973 bilang isang teenager enjoy ko panahon yn.
Nice po sir
Baka magka klase tayo nun sa Guzman Institute year 1973 ref & aircon?
Minsan ako tumira sa area na ito.. hhaayyy.. tinapos ko ‘yung video.
Ako po lumaki sa Tondo pero nagagawi kami dyan dahil jeepney driver papa ki 1976 ako nag aaral sa Francisco Benetiz Elem Sch marami ako good memories sa Maynila lalo na sa Luneta napakaganda para sa kin ng Manila noon.
Very nice👍. Yr 1981 noong nag college ako sa Maynila kaya popular sa akin ang lugar na yan. Sa Bustillos at Balic balic kami tumira noon. Nakamiss mga sinehan na nandiyan sa Avenida. Odeon, Galaxy, State at iba pa na nasubukan kong panooran ng mga pelikula noon. Along Recto malapit sa Avenida yung Roben Theater na noon namasyal si Rudy Fernandez. Hard to believe wala na mga sinehan ngayon. Matagal ng panahon ang nakaraan. Good job ang ganda. Brings back good memories 👍
Very nice Sir Fern, you really dug unto history . hope that you also unearth the Golden age of Philippine Cinema. Thanks for the nice contribution , it enkindled my love for history all the more .
Very interesting & very informative ang konsepto ! Galing galing!
Thank u boss🙏🙏☺️
Very informative. Since yr 1968 up to about 2016 I explored, roamed, amazed, happy, enjoyed, feared, spent some time in this area (@Avenida Rizal).
I about year 2016 the place became so dangerous & filthy that compelled me to stopped threading these roads.
Maybe, now yr 2022 is the time for me to go back spent some time to visit reminisce my past in these area probably with my old friends.
Imagine in my college years I walk back & forth from c. m. recto - quiapo - avenida rizal back to c.m.recto just to watch a good movie show. 👍🏻😎.
Late 90's pa lang filthy na sya.
Sarap maging pilipino napaka dami nating kasaysayan... gusto ko talaga ng history naibabalik ka neto sa nakaraan.
Masasabi kong never pa akong nag lakad sa street of Manila ng mga few hours. Siguro dahil narin sa I spent most of my younger years here in Canada. Sa darating na panahon , we will try. Kakainggit ang mga tao na naglalakad sa kalsada. Thanks again sa vlog.
Thank you fern parang namasyal n rin ako ng Avenida 69yrs old n ako at gusto ko panoorin lagi ang mga vlog mo
You’re welcome po🙏😊 salamat din
Wow, kayoutubero.galing ng research mo. Worth my time. Nostalgia. Was a UP D student 1960 to 1965. Kaya naman, I shopped at all the stores and saw movies at Odeon, Galaxy and Ideal theaters. As a child taken to Opera House to watch live shows. Thank you for your work and posts.
Salamat din po😊🙏🙏
Very informative video thanks 🙏 Bro more power to you 👍
😊🙏
Paborito naming kainan ay nandyan sa Avenida, before catching the bus, it's either papuntang Sapang Palay o Angeles City. Brings back great memories, thanks so much for giving me the Nostalgic feeling. Salamat at Mabuhay po kayo Sir.
Nakaka lungkot din Ang nakaraan sa Avenida Rizal pero ngayon ibang iba na Ang tanawin salamat sa video mo.
May pwesto kami dati sa Garcia Building so naabutan ko pa ang heyday ng Avenida. Halos lahat ng sinehan sa kahabaan nya napasok ko. State, Ever, Universal, Lord's, Jeanet, Avenue, Odeon. Mamili ng damit sa Syvels at Otis. Maglibang sa carnival rides sa rooftop ng Good Earth. Sigh! The Good Ole days. Thank you for walking us down memory lane.
😁🙏🙏
Almost the establishment you feature in this segment are the memories of my childhood. I grow up in this place since late 70s coz' this is our favorite hangout of my family. Like you said shopping 🛍️, eating in a restaurant and watching movies. And my father was working in Otis Dept. Store in Carriedo before. I feel got sentimental😔 coz' it brings back a lot of happy memories to me
as I've watched your post and for me I like Avenida before. A lot of beautiful historical Bldgs. and you can feel the true spirit of happiness in this place. I truly missed Avenida before. You did a good job 👍 it's informative and enjoyable although I feel sad😢 I love 💓 luv 💕 it.
Thank you so much boss at nagustuhan nyo po☺️☺️🙏🙏🙏
Yes me too loves avenida my parents and grandparents always bring us to this place and escolta when we were young as elementary grades we always have our shopping spree with our parents enjoyed those places happy memories miss you avenida
Thank you Fern for this beautiful vlog.
You did one fantastic job on your research. But in all your "Noon at Ngayon" episodes, for me personally.. this is the saddest. I was misty eyed. It was sort of a drastic transformation in my lifetime. I guess it's just bound to happen, we just have to accept changes. Thank you to Mayor Isko, he was able to saved some. Hanggang sa muli, mabuhay ka and God bless.
Salamat boss🙏🙏
Hellow . Nice to see you . Stay safe . 👍👏🙏
Maraming salamat Fern sa video mo. You made me feel so young again. My father use to worked for many years at Ideal theatre, before leaving my country I also worked in Avenida and I enjoyed all those years being there, the restaurants, stores like Goodearth emporium. I appreciate your good job in putting this video together, mabuhay ka!
🙏🙏😊 Salamat din po
Thanks for the memories. Lagi ako dyan sa Good Earth Emporium noong early 70’s.
😊🙏🙏
Thank you for showing the old Avenida Rizal I used to go to FEATI U and live in M Hizon by San Lazaro Race Track and Hospital. It brings memories as student. Watching from New York City. Keep up the good work 👍❤️
hi ka featinian...jtigasin
Thanks for taking me back to my yesteryears in my younger days. Beautiful memories and you relived it for me. Thanks Mr. Fern.
Avenida rizal where San Lazaro hospital north general a espirito Santo catholics school goes all the way to Blumentret going calaocan ?

Qiapo to church baclaran every Wednesday; shopping at shoe mart going to escolta avenida rizal now looks different due to LRT and going to mega mall more modern where everything is there restaurants movies shopping I never been to those areas scared now to go those old places 😅 like ur not safe, I love mayor isko he really did a good job

Napakagandang balikan ang iba't ibang konsepto ng ating kasaysayan. Salamat sa pagbabahagi.👏👌👍
Your vlog is not only educational for the young generation but also brought back memories for oldies like me. You do your research unlike some vloggers. Thank you and more power to you!
☺️🙏🙏
Am happy to learn the history of Manila ( Avenida) Kudos to you Sir👍👍👍.
Wow ! after leaving Manila for the USA in 1977 , here we go , am watching the streets more familiar to me during my college years ,what a nostalgic feeling . I remember Raon near Life Theater, there was this small alcove where my sister and I used to eat fresh Lumpia and Coke , that was best Lumpia I’ve ever tasted . Thank you for putting this on You Tube .
Hello there thank u for watching. Sana po mapanood nyo ang part 2 ng avenida, also pls watch my video Quezon Boulevard, the place of lumpia where u used to buy was on that video😊😊☺️🙏🙏🙏
Ang galing naman Mr. Fern, side by side ang then and now mo. Sana dumami pa ang vlog mong ganyan. Very much appreciated ang hard work mo.
Salamat sir Henry😁😁🙏🙏
Wow! Thank you for taking us back down memory lane and for taking the time to take us on a virtual tour of where the old buildings once stood. I appreciate the historical context that you have explored to make this video. Though we miss the old Manila we have to move with the times. Again, kudos to you!
☺️🙏
Interesting mga contents 👍 keep it up Sir ☝️
As an adolescent growing up in the late 60's and early 70's (before the big malls}, this was the coolest place to be. Your senses just come alive as you loose yourself in the bustling noise and dizzying sights. The neon lights in the evening turns this place magical especially as it gets closer to Christmas. Somehow, Petula Clark's "Downtown" always reminds me of this place. Thanks for your vlog... very educational and entertaining.
Thank u boss😁🙏🙏🙏🙏
bossing yan din mismo ang nasa isip ko 😐
Spot on! Petula Clark's Downtown was a hit! The word downtown was then used by people to refer to shopping areas around the Metro, most especially Avenida Rizal. I guess you're aware that since chilhood, Petula's Downtown has morphed into a Christmas Song - played consistently in the air waves every Yuletide season!!!
Thank You for bringing us back those days...
Our last family vacation was on March of 73. We stayed in Avenida Hotel. I was 9 years old. That December of same year,, my father died. Years afterwards, I worked in Manila for 15 long years, but everything was already different, with the sudden emergence of LRT then MRT. Your vlog is a time travel for me. Nostalgic, sad but I enjoyed it. Many thanks for all the memories it brought back.
nice vlog it carried me to yesteryears when i was a college stude in the 80s
KYT as always you brought me back to my childhood days. Thank you. Just FYI, what appears to be a PhilTrust bank branch now at the corner of Avenida and Carriedo used to be a department store called ShoeWorld. Also, Good Earth emporium suffered a fire in the upper floors during the LRT construction. It was closed for nearly a year as it went thru renovations.
Thank u po sa info🙏🙏
Ang galing idol para kong nag time travel
thank you again for your lovely vlogs of memorable places and rizal ave. is part of my existence I grew up in helios st. and echague st. , just infront of feati university near clover theater and inday theater,beside the tallest building then the ten story great eastern hotel. I remember when i was kid after school, i would run to the feati where larry mumar would be waiting for me to play bsketball,his father Lauro the Fox Mumar was the coach and athletic director of the school, later when I was a teenager I would play with danny florencio, bert casal,che poblete, ed gamboa among others.I grew up walking the avenida back and forth extending to recto ave. quezon blvd , raon st, . I attende Feati then transfered to TIP raon st. I would still walk around the avenida , quezon blvd grid.Going home i missed my favorite hangout the Paro paro restaurant and Cafe Ronquillo , the singers and the lovely ladies
Boss, Ang Galing Mo. Salute Ako Sa Yo
☺️🙏🙏🙏
Studied at university of the east. Vacant period having halo halo at the Little Quiapo restaurant nearby. Those were the days..
I miss everything in Rizal Avenida thank you for coverage this place am so happy and highly appreciated your vlog 💖
Salamat po🙏😊 Don’t forget to subscribe
Before the LRT was constructed along Rizal Avenue, Rizal Avenue was well lighted, from sunlight during the day and lamp posts in the night and was a two-way street. Famous landmarks were the Good Earth Emporium, Fairmart, Madison Shoe Store, a popular burger house (there was no Jollibee yet at that time) and a revolving restaurant.
I remember that burger house, right beside a shoe store I just can't remember the name anymore. It was between Raon and Soler sts, northbound, nearer to Raon. The burger was P1.50/2.50, around that price. Yeah, it was yummy and big. More than enough to fill me up.
Dyan kami namimili ng mother ko when I was in the University.
Also national bookstore..
@@glenndavidtorres lalo na yung pansit sa may 2nd floor
Thank you, pina alala mo iyong binata pa ako 1978 - 1979 where i enjoyed so much , from Baguio City ako i used to ride Phil Rabbit Bus located their terminal near odeon theatre avenida, more power
Salamat boss🙏
Thank you sir for bringing us back our old memories. I saw the store , Metropole Emp. (beside Merced Drug -7:32) that gave me the chance to work way back in 1982. Malaki ang ambag nitong lugar s akin dahil dito ako nag umpisa mag trabaho pagka tapos mag high school mula s probinsya.
Thank you bro. Napakalaki nang pinagbago ng Avenida.
Watch part 2 boss😁😁
Thank you very much for showing the old and new Avenida. Avenida was my world when I was a student in Manila in the 70s. How I wanted to see Avenida now, but could not travel because of Covid. Thank you for pointing out the buildings I used to know. I really appreciate what you showed. How could I essay my profound thanks of what you did. Godbless.
😁😁🙏🙏 thank u sa panonood po
Was born late 50s in Manila, ang dami ng pagbabago. Super tahank you sir for showcasing in your blogs the many interesting places and memories of Manila. God bless.
☺️🙏🙏
Enjoy ako sa 'history' narration mo. Thank you for your efforts. I Subscribed.
Naku maraming salamat po😊🙏🙏
Good job din kay Yorme Isko! Maaliwalas na ang Avenida!
Salamat ..marami akong alaala sa lugar na ito...watching from Houston TX
☺️🙏🙏
Back in the Old Days, a lot of beautiful Art Deco Art Modern Architecture that exist. I love your documentary on different buildings, department stores, Cinemas and more. It was very beautiful even before late 70s & pre-LRT days when I was a teenager growing up in Manila. It became rundown when they built the LRT and people start going to Cubao & Makati for shopping & entertainment. Thanks to Mayor Isko Moreno he fixed Avenida Rizal a little bit but a lot of the exterior are still rundown. Here in Toronto our main street downtown got rundown too but they took an effort to regentrify the place; now its bustling with beautiful buildings & retailers and our very own Times Square with huge billboards.
inabutan ko yan matagal ako nakatira dyaan sa sta Cruz sa tayabas street ngaun iba na Ang name ng street.madala kami manuod jaan sa Odeon theater
Yan ang isetan ang talagang natamaan ng LRT 1 patio ang feati university kaya sa Cubao sila Lumipat kc katiting Nalang ang natira sa isetan avenida
@@franciscotitingmaramara2605 Thank you for your insights.
I like ur videos..nakakamiss ung mga lugar. I was a student in manila in 1974.. Gala ako dati pag tapos ang klase sa Recto Ave at Avenida Rizal... nakakamiss talaga..

Salamat sa panonood po🙏🙏
Natatandaan ko halos lahat ang mga landmarks ng ave rizal mula Tayuman hanggang yong huling kalye pagkatapos ngcarriedo.mula mag college hanggang nagretiro sa trabaho dinadaanan ko mula tayumam hanggang carriedo .masaya ang ave rizal hanggang itayo ang lrt. Namatay ang maraming negosyo, Nadugyot ito hangang iayos ni mayor yorme.
Namiss ko na talaga pinas espescially Manila thank you fern for bringing back mamories how i wish makauwi na uli ikutin ko uli ang manila
Youre welcome po
Hello Fern I was about to mention the back ground of Galaxy theater but it was already pointed out by Orchestra. One more famous movie house in Avenida Rizal was forgotten to mention in your vlog.. The Ever theater.. where Cleopatra and The Sound of Music was shown. The latter was shown for more than a year. Ever was very close to State theater if I'm not mistaken.
The iconic bookstores in Avenida Rizal were National bookstore, Goodwill bookstore ( where I buy my plastic scale models) and Alemar's all adjacent to one another.
Thank you uli and God bless Fern.
🙏🙏
Galaxy Theater was where The Ten Commandments was shown for I think 2 months! Its sad the old moviehouses built by Juan Nakpil were demolished.
HELLO FROILAN, DO YOU REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE BIG RESTAURANT WITH SINGER SHOWS? IT'S CLOSE TO GALAXY THEATER AND MAPUA ?
@@josephmartin7328 Hello Joseph, now you got me in this one..Lol, I'll take a blind shot on that, let me juggle my memory, ..is it Luisa and Sons?! Paminsan- minsan may barilan sa bar😂
1989 feati days .avenida dami n nabago.. Nice vlog
Bilib talaga ako sa yo Fern! I wonder where you are getting your historical data (The National Library? The Philippine Archives Society?, etc.). You always re-live my younger days during the Dekada Sitenta thru your "Noon at Ngayon" series. Yang 4th Floor ng Good Earth Emporium ang lakwatsahan namin ng mga classmates ko kasi nanjan ang mga games nuong araw tulad ng pinball machines, football machines, jukebox, etc. Sa Shoemart naman ako namimili ng mga sapatos ko, imagine P40 na genuine leather shoes ay napakamahal na nuon. Thanks again Fern, I also follow each and everyone of all your vlogs. I can't wait to see more from you! By the way, I am a retired 68 years young Civil/Structural Engineer, your avid follower! God bless!
Hello sir, thank for sharing your story po🙏🙏🙏
Yup me too a retired Civil Engineer from MLQU Quiapo Carriedo
to Avenida was my daily lunch walk

☺️🙏🙏
Omg, I don’t recognise the Avenida, Escolta, Quiapo, of the 1960’s . Thank you so much for bringing very happy memories of thes3 places I used to love: Good Earth Emporium which introduced in Manila the 1st escalator! Shoemart in Quiapo was my favourite shopping place, as a young college student. Alemar’s was an up-market Bookstore as far as my friends are concerned then, it had a mini Cafe within Alemars that served delicious Puto W/ dinuguan, Mami, etc. Odeon Theatre was classy too,at that time. Syvels Shoe Store in Escolta was my first stop for shoes, they’re a bit pricey than SM but they had very stylish & good quality shoes. Oh, the nostalgia is too much, thanks for the tour. 🇵🇭
Thank u for sharing, I leaned a lot po ☺️🙏🙏
History bleeds our memories!! (why its called madugong alaala!)
wow! very informative . thank you sir.
When my mom was still little, her mother, together with her siblings stroll along Rizal Avenue to do their shopping (primarily at Shoe Mart and Cinderella). Then, they will have lunch there at Silver Star Panciteria; the very place famous for their Pancit Guisado, Lechon, and Jumbo Siopao. She also told me that they also hang out at Ideal Cinema where they saw Charlton Heston's movie, the Ten Commandments, whose special effects were spectacular at that time.
Ganda, galing... it reminds me of my childhood memories
Very good job Fern. I enjoyed watching your blog what has transpired through the years in Avenida. It brings back beautiful memories of the movie theaters my Dad brought me to watch movies during my student days. Hope to visit the place once this COVID epidemic is over. Thank you and God bless.
Salamat din po boss🙏🙏
Fern, watching this is a learning experience! History coming to life ika nga. Maraming salamat for creating this vid.
🥰☺️🙏🙏
Fern, I am teary eyed watching this video, brings back childhood memories…all the theaters featured I have been there…thank you very very much…pinanganak, lumaki at kinalakhan ko ang glory days ng Maynila.🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Hello, aww im sure all are good memories na di nyo talaga malilimutan boss.. salamat po sa panonood, more coming po
Galing mo Sir, galing mong magpaliwanag..ang linaw.
Thank you🙏🙏😁
I liked to go up to the top floor of Good Earth emporium because that was the toys section way back in the 70s. I can also remember there were amusement rides at the top. I'm amazed that the Alemars sign hasn't been removed after all this years. Maybe someone can take it and preserve. Do you know if the Enriques art supply is still around at the corner of Recto avenue?
Bakit kaya wala sa atin kultura ang pag-preserve ng mga gusali. Parang wala tayong nakalipas na magagandang nakaraan na puwedeng ipagmalaki sa sumusunod na henerasyon. Maganda ang vlog mo, nostalgic. Ipagpatuloy mo. Congratulations.
Thank you po.. coming soon part 2 Avenida 😁🙏🙏
Good Earth Emporium, Fair Mart, Plaza Fair, Issetan, SM, Sta Cruz Church, Quiapo, Escolta part ng aking buhay, Mahal ko ang mga nakaraan ko.
@@eodcruz1591 ayon may nabasa akong kaisa sa nakaraan ko🤣🤣🤣 after my college dito ako unang nag work sa fair center as acctg clerk.♥️
Salamat at nagkaroon ako ng idea kung ano ang itsura ng Avenida noon. Madalas po ako sa Avenida dahil sa Good Earth Plaza ako naglalaro ng table tennis...
Correction lang po, hindi po 1980’s giniba ang odeon theatre…. It was sometime between 2005-2010 hindi ako pwedeng magkamali dahil 4 na beses kong pinanood sa odeon ang titanic noong 1997 at nung umalis ako ng bansa year 2005 eh parang inuumpisahan na ang LRT line 2 sa recto, pero andun pa yung building ng odeon kaya lang di na sya operating that time…. Thank you for showing what it looks like before, sarap balikan ng nakaraan
Tama po sir kasi nag premier pa eagel squad movie nila robin padilia non
Tama..dhil nkapanood pko NG fpj movie nung highschool ako..1995 yun
Tama ka. 1986 nanonood pa ako du'un,
