[@AkilezNewEngland]

Fern meron mga reporter sa DZRH noong gumuho ang MFC. Lahat daw namatay nakuha kasi it would be impossible to continue the construction without clearing the debris and bodies. I saw a KZbin video documentary about that Rumor that the bodies getting buried in the walls of the building but the witnesses said they took the bodies out no one was buried in the building. All the construction workers helped recover the bodies. I heard on the news in the 70s and early 80s that there were raped and dead bodies found in that area especially behind the building. Kaya siguro meron multo sa building kasi meron Pare and my Nuns. I hope this info will help you. Salamat sa Vlog po.

@@AkilezNewEngland puede totoo po. Kasi di naman malalim ang gumuho dyan. Ang siste lang, yan area na yan talaga ay talahiban. Madilim kya dami mga salvage din. Isang floor lang naman ang gumuho. Ang karima-rimarim na napa-dyaryo noon, yun construction worker na nabalutan ng semento na naninigas na. Hanggang nabawian na ng buhay. Makikita natin, kahit mga panahon na ito, malaya mag report ang mga news dahil nailabas naman lahat ng kwento. Nasiraan lang talaga ng mga chismis.

Dito pa kami nagpa-practice noong highschool para sa school play namin. Maganda yang bldg na yan, sayang hindi inalagaan. Medyo iba yung vibes kahit tanghaling tapat pero I don’t think na may naiwan pang namatay dyan noon kundi dahil sa super imposing nung bldg sa laki tapos matagal na abandoned syempre mag attract na yan ng different entities. Thank you sa isa na namang magandang video. Hanep naman yung parking sa seascape, mas dun ako namangha hahahaha, buti na lang napanood ko ito bago kami magpunta sa kainan doon at least may idea na saan magpapark. Thanks again! 😊

[@makatangcocinero8267]

Ito ang first time ko na magcomment sa isa sa mg vlogs mo sir Ferns. Ma-ishare ko lng yung kwento ko tungkol sa naging karanasan ko sa pagpasyal ko sa bldg na ito way back in 2014 or 2015 yta yun. Sa pagjojogging namin ng aking mga kaibigan from baywalk eh nakarating kami sa Manila Film Center at masasabi ko na medyo may kaunting kilabot akong naramdaman nung paakyat ako sa hagdan sa labas ng bldg na ito marahil dala na rin ng kwento na nalaman ko tungkol sa trahedyang naganap noong ginagawa pa lng ang gusaling ito. May mga nagsasabi na hndi raw totoo yung balita na sadyang tinabunan ng semento ang mga ilang construction workers na kasama sa gumuhong scaffolding pero personally eh naniniwala ako na may malaking posibilidad na totoo ang balitang iyon dahil minamadali ni Imelda ang construction ng Film Center at dapat na ma-meet ang deadline ng construction nito kaya siguro sa isip nya eh gahol na sa oras kung magsasagawa pa sila ng retrieval oprations sa mga bangkay na nabaon sa gumuhong parte ng noo'y kino-construct na gusaling ito. Kaya hndi malayong magkaroon ng negative vibes dyan sa Manila Film Center dahil sa trahedyang kinasapitan nito at maaaring ito din ang reason kung bakit parang nagkaroon ng "jinx" ang gusaling ito na ngayo'y halos abandonado na.

Thanks for the brief view. It looks like a well-designed structure, not necessarily sound structure. Just like the Parthenon, it is now in ruins. The steps are nice just like the Parthenon. I guess lots of people will say the structure is cursed because of the lives lost. Expediency over safety. May they Rest In Peace.

I Was lucky enough to get a chance to watch a movie on the opening of MlFF 82 . The ushers and usherretes that night were the stars of Regal Films . Me and my officemate don't watch movies at the downtown theaters anymore ,because we got a membership card for ECP(experimental cinema of the phils, then under Ms Imee Marcos) we just show our card and we have a 50% discount on the ticket price. Aside from that we are given the priority ,just like the seniors today , in the ticket line. I remember I seldom go to the film center when I enrolled in the computer class and eventually stopped when I transferred job in Makati. After Edsa 86 I happened to watch again there but it's just I don't like the ambiance anymore and there's there's no ECP anymore . The movie being shown were not as classic before (my own observation) in local theaters there was the trend "pene movie" until that major earthquake which greatly affeacted the manila Film Center.

Maraming salamat sa informative at magandang vlogs mo. Magaling Ang vlogs mo kasi may story ng simula at status ngayon. Nakakatakot yang Manila Film Center dahil maraming nakabaon na kalansay ng mga workers na nasama sa pag sesemento ng building. Sa palagay ko lang hindi na GaGanda Ang kalagayan ng building na iyan hanggat Wala pang justisyang nabibigay sa mga namatay na nakalibing dyan. Siguro mas maganda pa kung gibain na lang yan kung walang silbing mabuti na nakukuha ngayon diyan. Hanggat nandidyan Ang mga kalansay ng mga namatay na workers magiging haunted iyang Lugar na iyan. Nakakatakot pa yang Lugar na iyan kahit araw ka dadaan dyan. Sayang talaga pero isang bangungungot yang building habang nakikita iyan na nakatayo pa. Sana mapagisipan ng papasok na administration kung ano ang mabuti sa building na iyan. God bless you Ka utubeto.

Just a correction. Don't know where you got your figures. Hindi 169 ang namatay nung gumuho habang binubuhusan ang 4th floor. Walo lang ang namatay kasi ang naiwan na crew during the pouring was only 40 workers. At ang binubuhusan ay ang 2 mini theatres sa ibabaw ng main theatre na buhus na ang flooring so impossible na may natabunan ng concrete.

[@gibbonmountainchronicles6367]

This is just me "Monday morning quarter backing ", so take it for whatever it"s worth. Wether you agree or not, this was one of those "Vanity" projects that the Marcoses had despite the high level of poverty in the country during their rein. (19:47) At 40 years since it was built, was the structural depreciation and lives lost worth the expenditure? For me, definitely not. I grew up around the area and had seen first hand the convoys of trucks carrying materials for the projects and the amount of dust it heaped on practically everyones home. I was also lucky enough to have watched foreign movies showcased during its early days due to relatives working there being given complimentary tickets for perks or maybe to fill in empty seats, so it has a personal connection. But the bigger question for me is: Will anybody be held accountable for those lives lost due to apparent negligence and dereliction of duties despite the passage of time? Obviously, there are people connected to it that are still alive. Where I live right now, we are trying to correct the wrongdoing of the past decades and are holding perpetrators accountable for their heinous crimes. I think it's wishful thinking, but the love ones of those who perished merely trying to eke out a living but sadly died that fateful day, must be given justice and dignity for their painful loss. Well, this is getting too long. As always, fantastic job Sir. Thank you.

[@aprealstatetraveletc..]

Fill an empty seats ? Why you did not see those people lining up to watch during the film festival ? That due to lack of theaters in the venue they resorted to show some of the movies in commercial theaters in metro manila. The problem with opposition then and now is that they don't dig deeper on what really happened and who should take full responsibility . For them it was enough that they blamed the Marcoses. Come to think of it why did the mother and son presidents did not bother to find out who killed Ninoy Aquino ? So you think they will take the cudgel to investigate on what happened in that accident?

[@aprealstatetraveletc..]

For me it's not "vanity" it's "foresight" if not for the reclamation started by Mrs Marcos there would be no thousands hectares of prime properties extending outside of Roxas Boulevard. Long before that resort airport in Singapore,became popular Mrs Marcos has built the Nayong Pilipino and Philippine Village Hotel. If only the following administrations has followed/ continued the projects ..but worse not major infrastructure was built until du30...

[@gibbonmountainchronicles6367]

@@aprealstatetraveletc.. Dude, It would have been fun to rebut every single argument you have put forward here but the fact that you described Ninoy Aquiino's assassination as an "accident" speaks volumes about your perception of reality. You have a nice day, Sir.

[@perz777]

We were not living in poverty that time. We dont eat round scud fish and chicken intestines that time. Mrs Marcos build that to be a monument for film arts. Why would some people blame her for the accident when it should be the safety officer or the builder. Poverty happens only for people trying to have living that came from neighboring provinces. Not knowing abundance is in the place of their origin. Mindset was the problem. Wrong mindset results in poverty not the government. Cheers!

Don't push it. its not worth restoring. The Manila Film Center was one of Imelda's waste of taxpayers money project just to show off to the world that the Philippines was advance and progressive but in actuality was a poor country. Imelda wanted the building rushed to completion for the grand opening of first International FilmFestival hence the construction was done on 7/24 shifts, due to negligence of the project engineers, the safety procedures and material specs were disregarded/ The scaffoldings collapsed and hundreds of workers fell on quick drying cements, trapped and died. Imelda ordered total black out of the news to avoid embarrassment and it was reported by some media networks that Imelda refuses to extract theworkersburied under cement because it will delay the grand opening date. Some relatives of those workers believed that dozens still buried there. This tragedy was one of Imelda's biggest scandal and people must never forget,

Destroy this $25 million graveyard now. It was built with the BEST intentions, but the WORST construction deadline. It holds too many painful memories of November 17th, 1981, and ghosts, and innocent lives that perished because of Imelda's rushed deadline of THREE MONTHS. The people who were unfairly left to die in concrete and plaster, deserve more than this. I don't care if they rebuild the center elsewhere in Manila, but THIS location should be razed and turned into a memorial. This tragedy, above all, was the personification and crowning glory of Imelda's greed and social climbing, far more than her overconsumption of shoes. May the souls who died here in 1981, be restored with dignity and received by the angels with grace.

[@edge7375]

Base s napanood ko s video mo & the fact n mukhang nagsuffer ang gusali ng malubhang structural damage noong 1990 earthquake, malakas ang hinala ko n hindi n safe for occupancy ang MFC. Kung magsasagawa ang pamahalaan ng isang masusing imbestigasyon to be conducted by structural and forensic engineers, ang hula ko is that this building will be found to be beyond repair or rehabilitation. Impractical at infeasible n to bring up the MFC to current building codes & earthquake requirements. IMO it should be condemned & shut down for safety reasons. I believe the best thing to do is to demolish the building & clear the site for a future development that is more responsive & relevant to the times. Arkitekto ako based in San Francisco, CA. Nagtapos ako s UP Diliman noong dekada 80 at propesor namin noon si Froilan Hong, ang nagdisenyo ng MFC. I enjoy your vlogs & keep up the good work 👍

[@angelpadilla1119]

Its so sad to see that you featured MFC in a sorry state by now, but im also glad that there is a plan to revive this beautiful structure,like the metropolitan theatre in lawton. i had wonderful memories in MFC,wherein i watched MIFF there maybe 1982. it was only 20 pesos to watch,lower than commercial theatres,i remembered ECP watching movies like 'Isla" Scorpio Nights" ORo Plata Mata" VirginForest? directed by Celso Ad Castillo,Peque Gallaga,these directors are geniuses and can be at par with Martin Scorsese,Dino de Laurentis,Steven spielberg,wherein they also featured their films here.

It was rumored back in the early 80's that George Hamilton was behind the idea of the international film award and help the former first lady to invite holliwood stars to join the festival every body knows George Hamilton at that time and his relation to .......... my lips are sealed when it comes to that matters but it was a success the opening night was a star studded international celebrities from all over the world Brooke Shield the hottest teen star of holliwood cut the ribbon together with the georgeos imelda marcos Brooke Shield fell in love with Imelda Blue terno in the opening night and commission the designer of the usherette to make her a terno and the usherette uniform but the designer insisted that a white terno is more appropriate for her age which is 17 the cemented road towards the Film Center used to be a brigde over the ponds of water with twin fountain where Imelda and Brooke Shield cut the ribbon on it's opening night at the back was the tropical lagoon part of the film center landscape it was speculated that some worker buried alive in the film center paranormal activities were the strange swarm of flies over the glass wall on its opening night strange moaning sound faucet open close flushing of toilet and hair raising appariton of imbodied muddy feet inside the toilet and apparition of workers inside the hall and un explinable heat inside the theater even it used sophisticated airconditioner these are some of the nostalgic memories and rumors as well about this infamous tragic theater

[@susanherbias52]

In my opinion, in every gigantic construction project we cannot predict an accident, most of time there are casualties. The designer, Engineers, and Architects, Contractors should be all working together to keep the project as safe as possible for everyone especially the construction workers. I hope this tragedy would remind us that "safety is 1st priority" than be sorry later. It's a waste not to restore it but maybe they can transform it into a shopping mall, park, school, museum, water park, etc. Thanks.

Salamat Boss Fern. Minsan lng ako nakapunta at nakapasok dyan sa Film Center nanood ng bold di ko na matandaan anong taon yun di ko na rin maalaala kung Film Fest ba nuon yun. Pamoso nuon mga yan Film Center, Folk Arts, at Cultural Center. Matagal tagal na rin ako di nagawi sa lugar na yan ewan ano na itsura ng Film Center, Ccp, at Folk Arts sana marenovate at maibalik yung dating ningning. Pero may sabi sabi may nagpaparamdam daw dyan sa Film Center ewan kung totoo yun?

Sayang talaga, kahit sa creepy backstory nang building, this should have been preserved. Wala e., nadamay sa away nang dilaw at red. even if it was a project of the former first lady, it was built using Filipino taxes so it should have been cared for and maintained. marami na nga buhay nasawi pinabayaan pa mabulok. Maganda yung building at location sayang kulang tayo sa tapang sabihin sa mga nakalipas na gobyerno na huwag nila sanang idinamay sa mga away nila mga gusaling gaya nito.

@rosendo asakil, agree ako sa yo 110%. Im not saying na kalimutan ang history pero we have to live and suvive for present and future. Kung pinagbuwisan man ng maraming pera ng mga taxpayer at buhay mas dapat pahalagahan na ipagpatuloy ang purpose ng building na yan.
