Japanese Metal Heroes
Japanese Metal Heroes introduced here in the Philippines during late 80’s and ’90s. The most popular Japanes Hero is Shaider, played by the late Hiroshi Tsubaraya and Naomi Namonaga (known for her yellow panty during fight scenes). Shaider aired and tagalized (translated to Filipino Language) by ABS-CBN, IBC-13 and ABC 5 (TV 5, now).
We can’t also forget Kamen Rider Black or Mask Rider Black in Filipino version. The 90’s kids will remember how they cried for Robert’s death and the very exciting fight scenes against Stephen.
Robocop
After the success of Japanese Metal Heroes, the United States created its own kind of metal hero, Robocop. Robocop is a 1987 American action film played by Peter Weller. The story is all about a cop who is being killed by a gang of criminals and revived his body as a cyborg or a body made of metal.
We Pinoys also created our own Filipino metal heroes named Bobo Cop (1998) played by Joey Marquez. This is a comedy film directed by Tony Y. Reyes.
That’s Entertainment
That’s Entertainment is one of the longest-running shows of GMA 7 hosted and managed by the late German “Kuya Germs” Moreno. That’s Entertainment aims to create home-grown talents like Ara Mina, Piolo Pascual, and Vina Morales. The show concluded on May 3, 1996, with a total of 3,200 episodes.
Marimar
Before the K-Dramas invaded our Philippine television, Mexicanovelas was the first to hail in ’90s. Who would ever forget Thalia’s Marimar and her love, Sergio? Their characters are unremarkable and you will never forget the storyline. In 2007, GMA remake Marimar starring Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes as Sergio.
Anime Shows in GMA Primetime
90’s kids will never forget Ghost Fighter, Monster Rancher and Fushigi Yuugi aired and tagalized in GMA and ABC 5. Dragonball Z is one of the most-watched anime that time and today as well. I remember the 3-4 weeks episode of Son Gokuo’s fight with Freeza. We are so excited that time how Gokuo can defeat his nemesis.
Villa Quintana
Who will never forget two of the most popular loveteams in the 90’s – the Villa Quintana Stars Donna Cruz and Keempee De Leon. Donna Cruz now has a private life in Cebu and happily married to Potenciano "Yong" Larrazabal III.
Lion King and Pocahontas
Lion and Pocahontas were both animated movies produced by Walt Disney Pictures. These animated movies were among the movies that marked in the memories among the 90’s kids.
