I recall that we spent countless nights with our friends at Lost Horizon (Philippine Plaza), Where Else? (Manila Intercon), 1571 (Manila Hilton), Q (Regent of Manila), Jungle Bar/Apres (Manila Hotel), Cellar (Century Park Sheraton), El Camarote (Holiday Inn Manila), Valentino's (Manila Midtown Ramada, Calesa Bar (Hyatt), Coco Banana, Garahe & On Disco, among others.  We were penniless, so we had to save up for the entrance fees for ourselves and our dates; and once inside, we would nurse one beer the whole night, spend more time on the dance floor, swing to the boom boom of the bass speakers...
