Asawa Mokalaguyo Kouncutpinoy 80s Bombam Link May 2026

For our storyteller, this era became a lens to rediscover their roots, sparked by heirlooms like vinyl records of APO Hiking Society and handwritten balangkas (outlines) for their mother’s classic home-cooked adobo . "The 80s weren’t just about nostalgia—they were about resilience," they reflect. "Even in the Marcos era, we laughed loudly, danced wildly, and found joy in simplicity." The 1980s lifestyle was deeply rooted in community and creativity. Public life revolved around tricycles , neighborhood fiestas, and the ubiquitous seven-storey (open-air second-hand markets). Homes were adorned with kabig (palm frond walls) and antique salakot , while fashion embraced barong styles and shakya (short shorts) for the beach.
