Up to now the music of my choice is OPM of the 70s. I play these songs everyday and reminisce the happiest decade of my life. Thank you for your vlog. It is also very educational.
I agree to those who said that this is a video regarding OPM history and is not about the political bs. Tama nga naman, namayagpag talaga ang OPM noong time na yun. Bravo sa OPM.
It's ironic that Jim Paredes of APO is critical of the Martial Law era wherein the OPM started. During the 60's even early 70's the radio stations didn't play any Filipino songs especially the FM stations. Only in AM radios would you hear songs by Nora Aunor, Eddie Peregrina, Edgar Mortis etc. They were considered the favorite of the "bakya crowd" so the elitists FM DJ's wouldn't be caught playing a bakya song. Our First Lady Imelda Marcos then who was much into Filipino culture wanted that the Filipino songs and artists be given recognition for their talent thus Memorandum Order No. 75-31 of the Broadcast Media Council was created and mandated that all radio stations including the FM stations to play at least 4 Filipino songs within 60 minutes. I recall that Rico J's tagalized version was among the first song that got "acceptance" into the elitists FM radio DJ. Since these FM DJ's were not happy to play "bakya songs" they opted to play songs by groups coming from elite schools. Actually, the Apo hiking society band was even reprimanded for "insulting" the image of our hero as if they were mocking the hero's disability so they were "forced" to change it to just APO. Apo got their break, thanks to Martial Law era, where their songs got played by the elitist DJ's in the FM stations. Otherwise, Pinoy youth at the time would rather listen to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, and all foreign musicians (8:30) As most of the Pinoy band members of that Martial Law era recalled, the OPM got its boost from the directive issued by the gov't to give the Pilipino Music a chance to be heard and be appreciated by the Filipino listeners.
True, 1975 I was learning to play a guitar, i was doing john denver sonh, and john taylor, the beatles, and the likes. Until Mike Hanopol,s "isang kahit-isang tuka" came on airwaves, i immediately shift to opm genre
I agree with you, puro lies pa mga sinasabi na ni raid mga concerts at pinuputulan ng buhok mga long hair. Kung hindi kay Imelda Marcos, hindi sisikat ang mga Pinoy sound lalong lalo na hindi makikilala ang apo tulad ngayon. Kaya lang binaboy ni Jim whatever good memory we had about Apo.
Ang hotdog band, boyfriends at wadab maganda ang sinabi nila tungkol sa martial law, pero si jim paredes ng apo negative talagang against siya sa martial law. Nun bata pa ang parents ko nakikinig sila sa mga awitin nina Eva Eugenio, Imelda Papin, Claire Dela Fuente, Cinderella, etc. Ang sarap makinig ng OPM noon, mapapaindak ka sa mga novelty songs ni yoyoy villame at nanjan din sina hajji, rico j. Freddie Aguilar, florante at marami pang mga singers/ band na magagaling. Mabuhay ang OPM.
Ibang-iba ang sinasabi nila Rene Garcia ng Hotdog, Nonoy Tan ng Wadab at Gary Ariola ng Boyfriends tungkol sa karanasan nila sa martial law era. Grateful sila dahil sa panahon na 'yon narinig sa buong Pilipinas ang mga awiting Pilipino. Oras-oras obligado lahat ng radio station na patugtugin ang mga awiting Pilipino. Kaya pumatok ng husto ang Manila Sound. Sabi pa ni Rene Garcia; "actually maganda martial law di n'yo lang inabot. As long as you have nothing against the government, di ka naninira magagawa mo gusto mo". Sabi naman ni Gary Ariola; "nakatulong sa amin 'yung time ng martial law". At ang sabi ni Nonoy Tan; "wala naman ako bad experiences during martial law". Pero pagdating kay Jim Paredes at sa pasimula ng video na 'to puro negative na. Anyway, maraming salamat sa gumawa ng video na 'to at sa nag-upload. Kudos sa inyo mga Sir/Ma'am.💐👍😊
JP cguro puro banat ang ginagawa nyan sa GOVT eh bakit un iba wala nman nasabi sa martial law malaya clang maka kanta.. Anyway sya un eh, di nman sya suportado nun 2 nya kasama.
Napansin nyo si Jim Paredes lang ang may negatibong expression sa Martial Law among them? Im 19 yrs old, OPM fan, But damn Jim, go keep playin your meat.. this aint a political documentary.. Salute to others, vst, wadab, boyfriends even though i wasnt born yet during that time as nd im a big hiphop/alternative rock fan i still admire and salute these music icons! anyway I like to listen primarily to eheads, rivermaya, ratm, beastie boys, rhcp, tupac, j.cole, vst and co, the cure, eminem, iv of spades etc.
Not because everyone felt the same positive feeling about the particular period doesn't mean others have no right to say about what they felt was the opposite. Hindi ibig sabihin na porque nabigyan kayo ng ayuda nung pandemic ay hindi na pwede magreklamo ang mga hindi naabutan kahit konting tulong. Everything is political, and it doesnt change the fact that Martial Law helped the emergence of Manila Sound in Filipino society. Kung walang oppression at social issues na nangyari sa bansa before, wala iyang mga genre na nageexist sa mga textbooks at isip ng mga future musicians.
NAWALAN AKO NG GANA KASAMA SI GIMAKOL. . .MARAMI PALA MAGA2NDANG BAGAY SA PANAHON NI PFEM BAKIT KASAMA SIYA SA NANINIRA MAGAGANDANG BAGAY PANAHON NG MARTIAL LAW ????
Nakakapag taka lang about martial law, ikaw lang Jim Paredes ang may negatibong pananaw, the rest of the artists in this video didn't say bad against the martial law.
80s....nagsimula uli mag reform yung ang OPM after ng manila sound at transition sa government. 90s....then nagboom na husto ang OPM...with Eraserheads and others and then...........Piracy happened.
First Lady Imelda Marcos did the great job in promoting our own music unlike today most Filipino youths keeps on admiring K-pop instead of our own artist such a shame 🥴
Napaka walanghiyang statement. Napaka walang alam, kahit napakataas ang napagaralan, ang naglagay nito. Martial law did not bring darkness but light to the country before it will turn into a proletarian dictatorship by the communist leftist. Words can really make something or break or remake something. Freedom was not suppressed. Everybody who was then a teenager during martial knows that anybody can go anywhere in the country. We can do what we want to a certain limit. Ang iba kasi dyan ay gusto nilang gawin ang kagustohan nila kahit pa ito ay makakasira sa kapuwa o kontra sa demokratikong estado ng bansa at pag sinawata ng gobiyerno ay sasabihin na suppression of rights and democracy. Gusto ng CPP NPA NDF at kanilang mga Fronts kasama ang maka kaliwang media, na buwagin ang systema gobiyerno ng bansa,ngayon pag hinuli at ikinulong, o kinumpiska ang mga subersibong kagamitan at ipasara, tulad ng ABS CBN, ay magsisigaw ng suppression of the press and press freedom. Karapatan ng gobiyerno na protektahan ang republika ng makadokratikong estado ng Pilipinas kontra sa mga kaaway nito tulad ng kommunismo. ngayon pag lumaban ng armadong pakikibaka ang mga makakaliwa o gumagawa sila ng kapalapastanganan at marahas na paraan at mabaril sila o masugatan sila sa pakikibaka sa mga miltar o pulis ng gobiyerno ay sasabihin na "blood and tear dropped everywhere." pati rin ang mga militar at pulis na napatay o sinugatan ng mga makakaliwang grupo ay nagdanak ng dugo at luha dahil sa kanilang tungkulin na ipagtanggaol ang estado ng bansa. nasobrahang salaysay at wala sa katotohanan.
bakit mukhang si lodi jim paredes lang ang tinamaan daw ng martial law ni macoy? except nun edsa revolution kung saan napatalsik na si macoy, anong kanta ba ng apo nun 70s to early 80s ang tumutuligsa sa martial law para i-ban sila sa ere at mga venues? e, halos lahat naman yata ng kanta nila ay tungkol lang sa pagibig at panliligaw ng chicks, di ba lodi jim? (hehe)
I'm also looking forward for their music video of yoyoy, florante, heber bartolome, asin..music legend din cla at up to now nappakinggan p rin ang music nila.
Its funny when members of wadab and hotdog has no bad things to say about martial law well except for Jim Paredes. may pinaghuhugutan kc. Kaya galit na galit yan kay marcos because one of his brothers gone underground when martial law was implemented because he's brother is an activist and nagtago siya because di natin alam baka komunista and that his mom became involved with light a fire movement which culprited a series of bombings during those times and one of the famous casualties of those bombings is singer nonoy zuniga who lost his leg. Jim, huli k n eh, yan ang dahilan kya k nagalit kay marcos dhil nasira buhay ng kapatid mo eh ksalanan ng kapatid mo yun hindi ni marcos.
golden years of Flipino music ( Manila sounds ) happen during martial law era even for against it thrive in thier talents they even became popular where are they now ?! maybe they needed another martial law ! hahaha !
sayang si jim. i used to admire him. naging tainted sya nung di nya matanggap na ayaw ng karamihan ang political leaning nya. what a waste talaga! that's my take.🙄
you can say about the regime kaya nga may mga rally rally pa but you should not go beyond what is allowed. katulad ng nanay mo, Ikaw Paredes, na kasama sa mga naglalagay ng bomba na nakapatay ng mga tao at civilian pa naman hindi mga militar o pulis ang nilagyan para sila ang mamamatay o masugatan. nahuli ang nanay mo at mga kasama sa Light A Fire Movement. napatunayang sila ang naglagay ng mga bomba kung saan may patay at sugatan nasentensiyahan sila at nakulong only to be released by Cory noong umupo---injustice sa mga biktima. Kung hindi ako nagkamali ay isang singer at recording artist na si Nonoy Zuniega ang isa sa mga biktima ng nanay mo na nasira ang paa---naging amputee dahil sa kanilang bombang ginawa. kaya maka Cory ka. Yawa ka.
Totally agree with your comment. Madam Imelda Marcos even provided the prosthetic leg for Nonoy Zuniga. Light a fire movement was headed by Steven Psinakis, in-law of the Lopez clan of the ABS-CBN.
Jim Paredes..tahimik ka na lang..hanggang sa OPM interview namumulitika ka..

sarap makinig ng history of manila sound.kahit batang 92 ako, naaappreciate ko pa rin mga kanta ng panahon nila
I admire all of them except jim paredes....

Alam ko kung bakit...😃
Water under the bridge….every one got bad & good!.

I agree with you,kunwari makamasa,pero elitista,HIPPOCRITO!!!!!!!.
Ganda ng edit ng video na ito ngayon lang ako nakakita ng short documentary tungkol sa tunay na musika ng Pilipinas kudos at salamat!
Wow, incredible documentary. Gives great insight into that period of Philippine history. Truly great.
70's talaga ang the most memorable decade in Filipino music.
C Boyjacks lang tlga naiiba ng opinion iba ka tlga boyjacks!

bakit walang recognition sa music ng mahirap, si Yoyoy ay legend din. tho, di sa kanya ang music, yung adaptation na ay pinoy na pinoy. bakya daw.
I'm also looking forward for their music video of yoyoy, florante, heber bartolome, asin..music legend din cla at up to now nappakinggan p rin ang music nila.
Yun ke Yoyoy po ay novelty music ..
So true!
saabihin mo kung anong concert ang pinatigil ng mga pulis? madali ang magsalita at magsabi ng pangit sa iba dahil gusto mong mangsira.
WALA NA YAN PROPAGANDA LANG PALA NG MGA DILAWAN YAN EDSA EDSA.
bolero itong si jim paredes, wrote it in 2 minutes.
Lahat ok sa martial law, pwera si jim.
Nasira ang gabi ko nakita ko si Paredes pati na itong 1986 power grab ni Aquino.
Yung hotdog, boyfriends at wadab walang masama na naexperience sa martial law..etong si jim paredes lang talaga pasaway
Hindi ko na pinanood nung nakita ko si BOY JAKOL sa simula palang ng video.
Sarap pakinggan talaga pasukli po god bles
Credit to imelda marcos, for supporting the arts (inclduding performing arts) during that time. Her own version of the 'cultural revolution'
What? 70's the darkest decade of our lives? Well maybe if your an insurgents...its the best years of my life .
Jim jackol
Its funny when members of wadab and hotdog has no bad things to say about martial law well except for Jim Paredes. may pinaghuhugutan kc.

Nandito si jac ol of trades.

This could have been Big as Bollywood
yun mga pasaway lang ayaw sa martial law at yun mga taga kaliwa yun law abiding citizen walang problema.
Bakit si Jim lang hahahaha
Kung ano ano pinagsasabi ninyo. Ngayon ano na ngayon ang mga pinagsasabi ninyo.
Jim Jakol Paredes
I disagree what denis said ..’” Sa kabukiran”. It sounds Low blow and immature on his part …
pansin ko lang. bakit si jim lang yung may angst sa martial law. sobrang pagbrainwash ng ateneo sa kanya?
bitter si mamang Jim
And the cultural revolution because of Marcos
what's wrong with Martial law?
sayang si jim. i used to admire him. naging tainted sya nung di nya matanggap na ayaw ng karamihan ang political leaning nya. what a waste talaga! that's my take.🙄

Bata pa si Jim nun Kaya medyo rebellious attitude pero now na realize na nila it’s for the welfare of the republic :)
