Bawal Na Gamot Lyrics & Song By: Willy Garte

How could we ever forget this famous song about the negative effects of drug abuse? How ironic is it that this anthem of many drug rehab programs has an infectious melody hook ingredient, with lines in the chorus that are just as addicting as drugs.


Bawa't yugto ng sandaling halos 'di ko alam
Naglalakbay ang diwa sa ligayang nakamtan
Gamot na bawal ay ayaw ko nang tigilan
Hinahanap-hanap ko at inaasam

O, kay sarap ng buhay
Kung siya'y aking nalalanghap
akala ko ang mundo ay wala nang katapusan
At nang ako ay magising sa kasalanang nagawa
Kinabukasan ko ay nawala

Chorus:

Pangarap ko'y 'di maabot
Dahil sa bawal na gamot
Labis ko nang pinagsisihan
Ang aking kamalian

Instrumental:

O, kay sarap ng buhay
Kung siya'y aking nalalanghap
akala ko ang mundo ay wala nang katapusan
At nang ako ay magising sa kasalanang nagawa
Kinabukasan ko ay nawala

Carla Di Santos: Pre-LRT Avenida, Philcite Robot, Ignacio Santos, Melecia Santos Photos '40s-'80s Photos

Time is frozen in a single frame of film. Every bit of detail is perfectly captured by the camera lens. These photos take us back to those wonderful days when everything seemed so fresh and new, those days we wished would last forever. Relive those special moments in your life, and share your memories with Photo Nostalgia!

Good day! My family has been an avid follower of your great website for years and my dad finally decided to share some of his old photos for everyone to see. We sincerely hope you can find the time to post these. Nostalgia Manila has made a huge impact on me ever since I stumbled upon it. I can't seem to get enough of old Manila photos. I'm now a certified Nostalgia Manila addict!

My family has been into the arts & photography business, starting from my grandpa Ignacio Santos who once worked as a society photographer for the Philippine's Herald newspaper back in the 50s-60s, and one of his in-laws Pete Coniconde who was the art director of the Philippine's Herald also. Since then the Santos clan has branched out and produced generations of photo-journalists and artists. I'm currently trying to live up to the family's name by joining our family business, shooting weddings & stuff.

I've attached here some photos that my dad took during the 70's-80's, when he was still starting with photography.


Avenida before LRT Construction (CLICK IMAGE FOR LARGER VIEW)

My dad thinks this was taken around late 70's or early 80's, when LRT was still to be constructed. Note structures eg Good Earth emporium, State Cinema, Shoe World, Madison Shoe Store, Fairmart, Weston, Joy Mart Budget Store, Avenue, et al. Sign says "Rizal Ave-Carriedo St. to J. Abad Santos closed closed to traffic due to LRT construction."

Me & my family in front of a giant robot at Philcite back in the mid-80s. (Why don't they have build stuff like this anymore?) My bro & I were originally so thrilled to see it but the summer heat was so frustrating we couldn't even bear to pose in front of it for too long. I was 5 or 6 i think.

My grandmother Melecia Santos, taken on top of Philippine's Herald building, overlooking the main Post Office, circa 1948-49.

My grandfather Ignacio Santos, with his view camera, 1940's.

Many thanks to our good friend Carla Di Santos, who was kind enough to share with us these wonderful photos.

"I walked along the avenue. I never thought Id meet a girl like you; Meet a girl like you."


Ang pinaka popular na kanta ng A Flock Of Seagulls ay naging malaking hit sa US noong 1982, dahil sa pagpapalabas ng music video na paulitulit sa MTV. Maraming naaliw sa futuristic style ng set ng video, na kung saan binalot ang buong set sa aluminum foil. Nakakapagtaka at hindi masyadong sumikat ang kanta sa UK kung saan nanggaling ang grupo. Ngutit nakatikim sila ng pagsikat sa US at Australia. Isa ito sa paburitong hits na sinasalang sa mga mix tape noong 80's, kasama na rin ang kanilang isa pang hit, ang "The More You Live The More You Love".
