I see you are centered in Quezon City. Before you were born, based on your photos, I lived there on Timog, near JUSMAG where there was a TV station next door. Celebrity TV star and singer Eddie Mercado's house was next door to ours. A little further down were the Scout streets. While living there the Philippine Heart Center was built on East Ave, a little past the end of Timog. There was a great hot pandesal place near our house and a beer garden across the street. Because it was during martial law, we had curfew at midnight and you had to leave any weapons you might have had with the management.

I remember one night at the beer garden, every one had a good time, there were a lot of bottles of San Miguel on the table, but it was getting late. What was strange, though, was that no one was leaving to go home. Someone explained there was going to be "a shooting". My friends and I couldn't understand. People were staying and risking being out after curfew and taking the risk of being in the area of a shooting?? II Finally our friends explained at about the same time the crew was carrying in large lighting fixtures and sound equipment. It was a movie they were going to be shooting....

Sure miss the Philippines!
