Beginning at around 10:42 are rare and terrific exterior and interior shots of a Northwest Airlines Lockheed Super "G" Constellation. NWA only operated four of these "Connies" starting in 1955. Thanks for sharing!
The last statement was my favorite. A testament to our once glorious nation, something truly to be proud of: The Republic of the Philippines. "You'll find many contrasts in these colorful islands of the tropic seas. Planting to music is part of their fascination, part of their very life. Such are the Philippines, America's vital ally in the Pacific; The Asiatic East is not interested in the words of democracy but in the deeds of democracy and performing those deeds is the Republic of the Philippines one of freedom's fighting strongholds in this world of ours."
The Guys Playing Sipa. That Court Looks Like Beside the Fire Station band The National Teachers College.... Is it? The Abaca The industry? Almost Gone. 15:47 They Don't Force This Anymore.. It's All Modern now. Well, you Can See a Little of this and Minus the Guitar Guy.
So sad to see what the country has become through years of corruption. So much wealth and hope all plundered by corrupt officials. Still my favourite place n the planet, just sad to see what she was to what she is today.
1:16 Wow!! Baguio Cathedral So Clean Outside and No Structures Beside it. Not Like Now. 😮 The Sugar industry is Almost Dead. All Agricultural is Almost Dead.. All you Can see in the Fields are Foreign Factories. Subdivisions, Resorts, Golf Courses, The Food Supplies Especially Rice will be Gone Soon. And Talking About Lumbers it's All Ilegal Now. Mountains are Bald Floods And Landslides All over the Country.
my roommate,s dad was stationed there in the Philippines during the war and headed up into the hills when general MacArthur was ordered out in 42 but he did not talk about it very much and we figured out he fought a guerrilla war against the Japanese army and might have become one of the early coast watchers,and he would tell us that the Japanese would come into a small village and take all the food they had ,but would have enough to feed the guerrilla,s
Stagnation and Confusion. Mediocrity and Emigration. Corruption and Inequality. Poverty. Development but going back. Unsustainable, there's too much pollution. This is what happened to our once glorious nation.
Overpopulation is definitely a factor as well. Imagine, in a span of 60 years or so the Phil. went from 20 M to 110 M! It seems as if people started breading like crazy from the 60s / 70s onwards.
Very fascinating watching clips of the Philippines when my lolas were still young! Thanks for uploading this!
how we all wish that the philippines progressed more than we already have in the 50's

And I've ridden in one of those!
ang sarap magtanim ng palay pala noon may taga guitara, madami sila at mabilis mag trabaho. 💕

@Albert Tusss before edsa revolution
@Albert Tusss that edsa shite has made the philippines gone down hill for 30 years
@Albert Tusss tama, masyadong pasaway ang maraming mga filipino..binigyan na nga ng kalayaan masyado naman inabuso
Then here comes the tyrant Marcos Sr who destroyed the country and our fragile democracy.
Grateful for sharing this great educational resource!
I watched this with my 85 year old grampa. He really enjoyed it. I wish I was born in this era
Me too
@@nemesiomercado7948 Me three !
Baseball popularity was shortlived I guess. Basketball has been the most popular sport since the 70's
Indeed! You rarely hear anything about baseball here anymore (except perhaps in a few provinces at best)!
I was the one playing the guitar in the last part. But now I play electric guitar! :)
I'm a born American I love the phillipines

Back when Philippines was actually THE PHILIPPINES

J D half of that live outside of the country
corruption of the government...dirty politics...overpopulation...pollution...and the negative toxic side of filipino culture
This shows that agriculture supported our country's heyday. When we forgot about agriculture, it went downhill from there. Capitalism took over .
Theres no more lumber left grampa. You cut way to many trees down and left no stock for the future.
Please search - "WORLD'S MOST CORRUPT LEADER" and "GUINNESS WORLD'S RECORD MOST CORRUPT" to know why the Philippines ended up as a poor country!!!
70 years ago
A Progressive Republic of the Philippines. What the hell went wrong in this country? Why did we became a shitty place?
The only thing good right now is its people
No more good philippines
