Balik Tanaw: Favorite 90's Memories Part 3

Man, was the idea of posting memories from the 90's a total baloney? I guess not.

Needless to say that most people can to relate to it. There are still fun remembrances that others can hardly recall until someone is there to remind it to them. I tell you it's not false modesty if I say posting this is not all about gaining more traffic to my site. It's more about bringing out something relevant to my readers. And given  my druthers, I'd like to hope this post will serve as reference soon when 90's will already become a distant decade in the past.

Let's begin our time travel for the third time.

Where did I stop in Part 2?

Ahh here!

Morning TV Shows

                  "Bawat bata may tanong, 'ba't ganito, ba't ganon?' Hayaang buksan 

                ang isipan sa Science o Agham. Tayo na! Sa sineskwela! Tuklasin na-

                   tin ang siyensya. Buksan ang pag-iisip. Tayo'y likas na sayantis."

Aahh, those lines play a huge part of my childhood. I still watch this every weekday mornings on Knowledge Channel whenever I have the chance to.

Naaalala mo ba yan? Batibot! :D

Eh yung mga kanta ng At Iba Pa??? :D

Remember Porfirio of Epol Apple? Eh si kuya Bodjie who was formerly in Batibot, too? :D

            Do you remember this also? Hit play so you'll know :D I'm totally not a math junkie but I knew I'm going to enjoy it someday just by listening to this :D

   Ikaw ang unang nag-buo ng bayang pilipino. Ikaw ang 

      unang lumaban sa pananakop ng dayuhan. Ikaw ang nag-sindi 

        ng ilaw. Ikaw and nag-bigay ng liwanag sa kahulugan at katwiran, 

        sa halaga ng kalayaan! 

 Bayani! One of my faves! My nationalistic hint is awaken. Kinikilabutan pa rin ako. This honestly influenced my love for learning Philippine History kahit pa ba madalas nakakalula magbasa ng mahahabang narratives. Kayo, anong episode ang naaalala n'yo? :D

I even posted an entry that entirely talks about another sensible TV show, Hiraya Manawari. Click here in case you haven't read it yet.

                  Hiraya Manawari! Aaahhh childhood! Agree when it was said that not all youth experienced

childhood with these TV series.

Remember Balt and Mithi?? How about listening to that vid below

                           Could not find any better video for the opening. But I surely miss watching this.

           Still aired on Knowledge Channel. You can check on their website to know the time slot.

          Mga kwentong mula sa pahina. Mga kwentong panitikan. That's how I describe this TV series. :) :)

Nighttime TV Shows

Familiar lang ang linyang yan for sure! :D

"Magandang gabi bayan!" a la Noli de Castro haha :D

A trusted news program already! Ever since the 90s :)

There was Balitang K long before Rated K! :D

Kung may Kuya Kim ngayon, noon merong Ka Ernie Baron along the famous line,
"Pag walang knowledge, walang power" :)

And of course! Who will ever forget?? Go go go Power Rangers! hahaha :D

Whoa! Si Alpha who is better known by kids as "ayayayay" hahaha :D

Real crimes, real people, real story. Calvento Files! I so remember this!!!

Dramas oh dramas!!! hahaha

How did it feel when Ted Failon already starts to say "Hoy gising!" haha :D

How about the Mexican novelas that invaded Phil TV before Korean novelas did? haha:D

The World Tonight! My favorite late night news program (I was 5 and young but I'm honest if I'd say I really watch this back then) I remember Mr.Teddy Locsin breaking the opening line, "I'm Teddy Locsin,Jr. and this is The World Tonight" I loved that!

Oka Tokat (Takot Ako) Creepy TV series every Tuesday nights in the 90s :)

And one of the most sensible TV shows, Wansapanataym! :) Sometimes it makes me cry when I listen to the opening song again :) :) A very good show to watch,aired every Sunday evening (just before kids go back to school on the weekdays)

     Napanood niyo din ba yung movie??? :) Si Barbiel!!!Who made known the line "Oh my gulay!" hahaha

And here's to all the 90s evening filled with laughter...

Salamin ng Panata: Hiraya Manawari

I have three days before I get to live with forceps, clamps, and laboring mothers in the delivery room for one month. What I am mostly excited about during free days like this is that I get to look 
 around the internet for online reads and videos, or TV shows at random that I could at least consider as productive, or is it?

Today I decided to go Filipino; to talk something about this Juan country, more specifically its television media. 

One thing I have noticed is that Philippine’s local morning programs have changed abundantly through the years. Most children today find their alternatives on computers, PSPs, and other gadgets.

Mr.Bean and Spongebob are the ones who usually greet the tele-viewers every morning. Maybe, most of the cartoon shows today have their own brand of teaching their audience with morals. But I have myself confident to defy modern day skeptics in saying that the novelty worth of today’s shows is nothing compared to the shows before. Hiraya Manawari is but one of the many valuable programs the television of the 90s has offered.

Hiraya Manawari, a highfalutin tagalog phrase which means “reach your dreams” has elaborated good morals and life’s greatest lessons about love, family, respect, honesty, discipline and other values. The stories of each episode were simple and easy to understand yet made a great impact on its viewers (myself included).  

Those lucky few who were able to watch programs like it would agree that producing the same shows nowadays would serve up so much values especially on children.

And for those who miss singing along with Hiraya Manawari’s famous intro, here’s a video with the lyrics below:
