Close-Up ad Philippines 1990 - Just a Smile Away (Jaime Garchitorena)

A popular ad in 1990. Love those classic Close-Up ads!
Check out the Demi Moore look (it was a fad then because of the
movie, GHOST).

[@raisailey3309]

RIP Danny Javier, the composer & writer of this eternally beautiful Close up Ad song. He did this music in less than 24 hours--a truly blessed artist. Thank you also for the many other compositions for the AHS group🙏💗

[@aupian94]

Close up commercials are the best during the 80's and early 90's especially when you are in the teens.

Ganda ng chemistry nina Robbie Tarroza at Trisha Gonzales. This commercial is the most sensational of all Close-Up Ads. I remembered may love song compilation sa cassette tape noon na free sa bundle. Love listening to the songs. May nakaalala ba?

My favourite commercial in the 1990's. I was in college back then. It can be considered as a classic ad.

[@cirillamande8243]

The best generation 80s and 90s, ang saya ng buhay nuon, iba nag energy,

[@mcmac8027]

This song is beautiful I just scrolled up from a never the strangers close up ad

[@ricachona4095]

I was 12 nung pinalabas ito. Ito yung panahon ng mga nakakakilig na close up ads at great tv direction. Nakakakilig dahil natural ang beauty, simple love settings at relatable ang feelings. Ang nakakainis lang, masyadong ideal at unrealistic ang status sa buhay para sa simpleng manonood like me noon. Kasi, lahat ng mga close up commercials ay pang Conyo ang estado sa buhay. Lahat mayayaman, lahat maaayos magdamit, de kotse, can afford mag dinner date sa expensive resto, at mag outing sa lighthouse, lakeside, etc.. Kaya pumatok dahil romantic at conyotic. .

[@thelostsamurai1436]

Ganun talaga ang Advertising eh.

[@cirillamande8243]

Yes 80s and 90s the best generation , ang saya ng bushy nuon, sa lahat, sa buong mundo,

[@kimmiepaulo8564]

Bakit ba more meaningful ang mga commercials nung late 80's & early 90's

[@pipopasion6000]

Becouse during those years from late 80's down to 70's And further "down" the years The Philippine Entertainment and Social Culture was Patterned after that of American Culture....And Filipinos did Spoke English without being frowned at by Fellow filipinos the way it is Now....We Love whatever that was American . Not Whatever that is Korean or Asian.

[@ricachona4095]

@@pipopasion6000 You're right. Maganda ang storyline at direction. De kalidad in short. Conyotic din kasi ang setting noon. Pang mayaman ang scenes- date sa high end resto, day out sa yacht, punta sa lighthouse, may car, malinis/western ang places, etc...Yung ads ng 2000 and above, yung target is masa na. Pang kanto na kaya di na sya novelty.

[@menadrot.escueta5900]

This commetcidl adds gave me more hearts during those days... I could still remember the girls that looks similar to the female model of this commercial... Hayyy matanda na pala ako... Anyway just smile away....
