The Entrance to the Shop--- You'll be greeted by the Master of Suspense, Alfred Hitchcock
Video 48 turns 19 this October. I don’t remember the exact date if it’s on the 17th or 19th. It opened in October 1988, 19 years ago. I still recalled having a starting inventory of around 200 to 300 titles, all in beta format. It withstood several trials, transitions and technological changes (from beta to VHS and Laser Discs to VCD and DVD). We likewise underwent numerous shop renovations. Thank God, I’m still here breathing with all my contemporaries in the business gone one by one many years ago (remember Allied, Trigon, Trifari, OMI, Shop & Lift, Lasertech, ACA and several small shops). I’m lucky though that my family owns the place where my shop is situated. I only have to think and worry the light and water bills and the salaries of few of my staff. To complement my video rental business, I added some stuffs for sale such as movie posters, movie collectibles and memorabilia, toys and other related items. I only wish and hope that things would go well and survive for few more years.

Tagalog VHS tapes are still intact. Most titles are still not readily available in dvds so I have to preserve these tapes.
Simon, Happy Anniversary to Video48! For sure, you will have more anniversaries to come because your Video48 is one of a kind! I hope I can visit your store one of these days.
