In line with the release of the much-awaited ABS-CBN Summer Station ID 2013: Kwento ng Summer Natin on ASAP 18 today (April 7), here are some of the photos from the SID that will pay tribute to the iconic shows that ABS-CBN aired for almost 60 years. The concept of the SID is to show the great shows that touch the hearts of every Filipino who became the inspiration of ABS-CBN throughout its 60 years in the entertainment industry as they continuously serving the Filipinos worldwide.
The theme song Kwento ng Summer Natin was performed by the Queen of Teleserye Theme Song Angeline Quinto and one of the Kapamilya Heartthrob Sam Milby. Go back in time with Piolo Pascual and Bea Alonzo in full 50s garb, accompanied by the ABS-CBN Philharmonic Orchestra led by Maestro Gerard Salonga. Meanwhile, Enchong Dee and Maja Salvador then travel to the 60s and have big dancing shoes to fill as they portray the very iconic tandem in The Nida and Nestor Show. Watch Angeline Quinto, Sam Milby, and Paulo Avelino pay tribute to 70s D’ Sensations where viewers felt the “kilig” via the love teams of Vilma-Bot and Nora-Pip. While Pokwang, on the other hand, dons the iconic 80s tangga ala Alma Moreno in LoveliNess, while former real-life partners Rayver Cruz and Cristine Reyes team up as the iconic 80s duo of Tonight with Dick and Carmi.
The sexy chicks of “It’s Showtime,” Anne Curtis, Karylle and Coleen Garcia sunbathe ala Chika Chika Chicks. They are joined by naughty onlookers Jhong Hilario, Jugs, Teddy and Kim Atienza. Meanwhile, John Lloyd Cruz re-enters the 90s era and revisits his Tabing Ilog days with a new woman by his side.
Goin’ Bulilit may be today’s favourite kiddie gag show, but back in the 90s, there was Ang TV. Angelica Panganiban then joins the Goin’ Bulilit kids as they recreate the iconic “Esmyuskee” skit. ABS-CBN’s impact on Pinoy pop culture is not only limited to television shows but covers music, too. Groove to old dance hits – “Otso Otso,”“Katawan” (the theme from Palibhasa Lalake) and “Pinoy Ako.”
For the first time, ABS-CBN’s annual station ID breaks away from the usual music video mold as it highlights popular catchphrases such as “Hoy, gising!”, “Handa na ba kayo?” and “I-Dawn Zulueta mo ako.”
