IF you grew up in the Philippines during the 80s, then you know "Bagets," arguably the Filipino movie that best captured the spirit of that generation.
Here's the opening scene of "Bagets" courtesy of gncreation.
And here's the opening scene of the sequel, "Bagets 2," courtesy of yamota. Both movies came out in 1984.
How about you, do you still have photos of you and your friends dressed in "bagets" attire? Share them with us :)

it was only when i was in college that i finally understood what the fuss over Bagets was, becos i spent half of my teen life abroad. pero yikes! parang i don't dare share my pix w my friends in Bagets attire.. more like Menudo attire! haha! altho i don't think any of my friends will recognise me hehe.
Nakakasenti rin, especially Raymond Lauchengco's So It's You (it's better than It Might Be You cos the song speaks of the certainty of that one person you've waited for). i met him personally in 2004&i told him his song is a fave of mine. He has a beautiful haunting voice! Too bad he's taken na!

I was in grade school when Baget's was shown. I remember my sister and her friends (they were in high school) going gaga over those Baget's guys. And who could forget Raymond Lauchengco? I really like his songs. Sana may bagong album ulit sya...
thank you for having this on the net...you made me soooo happy..omg!! such wonderful memories....
I was in my 4th year in high school when this movie came out. So we sang Raymond Lauchengco's "Farewell" during graduation. Man, those were the good ol' days!
Bagets is a 1984 Philippine comedy film made by Viva Films about teenagers. It stars Aga Muhlach, William Martinez, JC Bonnin, Raymond Lauchengco, and Herbert Bautista. I must say, Bagets is almost as classic as Rolex Watches.
