Just like the first time you watched a movie. For the most part, we are greatly in debt to the Americans for egging us forward and providing the right infrastructure for us to succeed. Truly, we may have not gotten to where we are now had them Americans left us in the lurch. Though I believe being one of the states of the USA would be a dream come true for many suffering Filipino.<\/p>\n<p>Gentlemen, let&#8217;s take a walk down to memory lane where we see our first steps towards nationhood.

Back in 1963, the \u201cRocky Fellers\u201d snatched the 16th spot of the world-renowned Billboard Top 100 with their song \u201cKiller Joe\u201d. Sounds creepy!<\/p>\n<p>Not until CharicePempengco hit the Top 8 in the US chart did any Pinoy that matter got the spotlight again. The Rocky Fellers were made up of Doroteo \u201cMoro\u201d Maligmat and his 4 sons. The all-Filipino group may have conquered more American hearts with other big hits had they not been swept aside one big super-humongous wave in the British invasion: the Beatles.<\/p>\n<p>Answer: the Rocky Fellers in 1963<\/p>\n<p><strong>#9: FIRST NATIONAL SWEEPSTAKES DRAW<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/FIRST-NATIONAL-SWEEPSTAKES-DRAW.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1596\" src=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/FIRST-NATIONAL-SWEEPSTAKES-DRAW.png\" alt=\"FIRST NATIONAL SWEEPSTAKES DRAW\" width=\"348\" height=\"209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/FIRST-NATIONAL-SWEEPSTAKES-DRAW.png 348w, https:\/\/topten.ph\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/FIRST-NATIONAL-SWEEPSTAKES-DRAW-300x180.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nThe first sweepstakes was done in 1932, undertaken to bring needed cash for the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation (PAAF).

Somehow, the delicious mouth-watering pink ice cream that the joint served is a symbol of how American culture left a wonderful taste in the mouths of many Pinoys.
