Filipino Coke Ad (1970s)

An award-winning Coca-cola commercial from 1978, shot in Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippine Islands. I am not in the video, but my father is the nervous looking one in the busy crowd.

Also, for legal purposes (and this is just in case), I am not at all affiliated with the Coca-Cola company and this is entirely their commercial. I assume that's what you're supposed to say

Ok, one last thing. If you think that you may know somebody in the commercial (my dad in particular), feel free to send me a message. Or comment the video.

Where is mikey "conyo" montenegro in this video?

@TheSkydragon9 Mike is wearing the blue Adidas jacket and he leans over a park bench - in his scene it appears that he gives the girl a quick kiss on the cheek. My question is, if you knew Mike from the 70's, how could you not spot him?

Ohhh yes! I remember this ad when they were shooting it and also when it came out. Thanks for the link and the memories of our old motocross days.

@cr8ttive Our old motocross days? Now I'm curious (this is John, by the way). Did you ride with us in Urdaneta Village?  Glad you found this commercial and enjoyed it.

@westlacson1 JOHN LACSON! This is Mari Kaimo. How are you doing, buddy? I was the guy in the guitar on the balcony scene, if you recall

I just posted this vid on my FaceBook Wall. Please thank your son for putting it on YouTube so I can see over and over again what it was like when I had so much more hair :)

I may be wrong but I think I remember seeing that Coke ad here in America as well. I was small so I didn't know what a filipino was but now I am engaged to great Filipina.

You're John Lacson's son (I remember him from a supervised meeting between two classes, one from Maryknoll, the other from Ateneo)? I remember Bing Pimentel, since I knew the Pimentel sisters, especially her sister Vicky.
