- In this video we look at the lost encarnacion bechaves commercial from the Philippines.
I know I've talked about this a couple of times on the channel already, just wanted to make a new full length doc detailing pretty much everything we know about it, hopefully this brings in more attention to the search and makes more people + new subscribers aware of this lost case of media :)

I just feel sorry for that lady who was probably excited to be in a commercial and instead scared everyone so badly that they remember it to this day
Poor lady
Thanks now im super upset
Until it's found we can't say if it's actually scary or just eerie like that JP Kleenex commercial.
I suppose the actress just smiled "without it raching the eyes" - which often has a low-key uncanny / creepy effect. If the AD's director says " alright, this is fine. " then it goes on the air. ^^;

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Hello. 90's kid from the Philippines here. I'm one of the people who saw the commercial. My opinion about the woman is that she was just look uncanny for me instead of scary. I've seen a lot of scariest Filipino commercials in the 90's (*cough* Charitas Manila commercials *cough*), and this flower shop commercial is the least scary for me.
EDIT: I'm 100% sure it was not Cita Astals. Cita was pretty well-known (not a huge star kind of way, but she keeps appearing as a supporting character) in the 90's. Most celebrities in the Philippines, especially in the way back, usually introduce themselves while promoting a product or put their name beside them
.
A lot of people online say that Fillipino commercials are weird or "scary" and a lot of attention has been given to "lost scary commercials" from the Phillipines.
I realized if you showed a Fillipino person some of the commercials that aired in the US back in the day (Lamisil Digger the Dermophyte, Eagle Insurance, and Energy Hog) they would probably react the same way.
@@francishollingshead2134 true. I could find a bunch of DVDs which were basically screen records of movies airing in Philippines and the commercials were weird. not in a scary way. they are just liminal you know
i remember this as a kid and it ain’t that scary. i do agree with the Caritas 90’s commercials being scary as f*ck (the one where the kid’s belly burning a hole on it)
@@patricktuazon My brother was very creep out about that. The most f*cked up Caritas commercial for me was a street children/begger sleeping on the street. I thought it was just sleeping and I realised that the kid is already dead.
the most bizarre commercial I remember when I was a kid was the Nova ad about 9/11. The kids where going between the two Nova towers. I am still trying to find it, but anyone from PH remember this commercial?
As a Filipino who did see the commercial, the recreation at 2:32 is far scarier than the original.
Of course it is. Everyone always remembers everything far worse than it actually was. It's alluring to us to feel like our memories are more interesting than they actually were. It gets us attention, makes us liked and fuels things like this. It's part of the human mind to want to feel special.
speak for yourself, very few of us want to "feel special". you are just normalizing this for a personal cult. that part of the mind exists for love and love only. for it to be anything else is corruption@@salmonella7993
@@salmonella7993 I remember a short film way back on Nickelodeon called Attack of the Gaint Vulture, and I thought it was terrifying. When I got a chance to see it again as an adult, it wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered. I think for kids, who's experience in the world is still developing, many things can come across as scarier than it likely is since they've never seen something like it before.
wee? papansin ka lng e. para masabing espesyal ka.
Was it scary at all, honestly looking back?
I’m also inclined to believe the scare factor was a result of “kid logic” and there was something uncanny about the woman that scared kids for reasons they couldn’t articulate at the time. When I was a kid, I was terrified of the Martians on Sesame Street. Not so scary now as an adult but I was able to identify why I found them so unsettling back then.

I remember being traumatized by a fake lost media article about a lost CNN Steven Universe leak of an unaired episode when I was a young teen, but after revisiting a screenshot of the article, it didn't scare me at all as it didn't occur in real life and was probably a joke.
I remember being traumatized of a scene from Sesame Street where this tornado came into Elmos house.
I was terrified of the walrus from Pingus dream. Even if I accidentally saw a still or thumbnail of it, up until I was about 18 it sent that shivering, heart dropping sensation through me. Then, I plucked up the courage to watch it as a fully grown man and it was hilarious!
The random “sad woman” from the opening credits of Goosebumps absolutely terrified me as a little kid. I still adore the show to this day, and because of that, I’ve seen it more than enough times to not find it scary anymore. You absolutely hit the nail on the head about “uncanny” things just being terrifying for a kid’s overactive imagination.
Hello, this is CLASSMC, I'm the owner of Philippine Television Archives and spearheaded the search for Encarnacion Bechaves. I just want to clarify some things.
We have contacted the family behind Encarnacion Bechaves, and they were also finding the commercial too! We are also finding a lot of VHS tapes rn, but still no Encarnacion Bechaves/RA Homevision, the latter of which i suggest to make a video because it is as interesting as Bechaves.
Hello, I have a question. I always wondered if ABC5/TV5 and IBC/CNN Philippines have an archive room of some sort. Do they archive their shows/commercials?
Its incredible how RA Homevision ad is now lost considering how much it played on TV.
In addtion, the Advertising Standards Council or ASC(responsible of advertising standards in the Philippines) are no idea about Encarnacion Bechaves because at the time, ASC didn’t have standard code yet so the council planned a research about the commercial and the mystery of advertising agency
Get me Batman vs Godzilla, my Tita Perla hasn’t watched it in 40 plus years and now it’s lost I think
This is a fake account
Filipino commercials are truly something else.
Bet this is gonna be top comment for a while
The Philippines itself is truly something else
@Markiegee55huh? they're not all creepy
Old Filipino commercials. Now its just loud and obnoxious.
PSA commercials were so disturbing. I watched them as a kid and they weren't as disturbing because it was common then. But watching them again as an adult, I realized how desensitized we were. I can't watch them again anymore
It's funny how memory works, especially when you're a kid. My mom always remembered "a commercial" that had a woman brushing her hair but you couldn't see her face. She turns around and it turns out to be a skeleton. My mom would always run out of the room when it played. Turns out, after I tried looking for it, it was actually a small ad/trailer for the 1977 movie Suspiria.
That was me as well! I was 5 years old in 1977 when this aired on KMEX channel 34 in Los Angeles in....EVERY...DAMN...COMMERCIAL...BREAK and when it did, I would run out of the room in terror when the woman turned around to reveal her face and a scary voice would say "that would mean the end of YOUUUU!!!" I finally saw Suspiria late at night in the early 1990's when I was around 20 years old and when the scene came where the camera panned down to reveal Sarah's bloodied corpse with WIDE OPENED EYES, I screamed like a little bitch and hid under the covers. I took a peek and her face was still staring back at me, so I screamed some more! That was the scariest movie that I've ever had the misfortune of watching and I NEVER want to see it again!
That sounds similar to that scene from Courage the Cowardly Dog when he opened a door and it was a little creepy girl playing a violin and turns around
Sometimes things are just scarier to us when we're young. I was looking for a terrifying commercial I saw as a kid, which turned out to be Astar the Robot. Not that scary anymore, but it haunted me for years!
What is that? I never heard of it
@@skystoyhunts7225 It's a Canadian Public Service Announcement. Produced by the organization War Amps, it aired in the 1980s, I believe.
When I was a kid I was so scared of Wet Dry World in Mario 64 lol
Its a War Amps commercial where a robot has its arm cut off, and tells kids they can't put their arms back on. Actually is kind of scary tbh
When I was a child I feared everything that had a human skull. I always had to skip a part of one pirate themed children's TV show because it often had a too spooky skull decoration in one part of the show. I thought that the children who participated to that TV show were extremely brave because they didn't fear that skull decoration.
I say somebody definitely thas it recorded somewhere, just probably happens to be someone who has no idea this commercial is sought after.
Honestly one of the most intriguing lost commercials in my opinion, considering it was already discussed long before lost media and lost commercials were even widely discussed online and people remember so many details about it - and the fact that you can just ask your Filipino family members about it shows it's definitely not a mass misremembering or an elaborate troll, yet nobody has it yet.
I can definitely see this commercial not being as scary as people remember. I was afraid by the most random scenes on TV as a kid. Like, I'd always hide behind a couch every time the scene in live action 101 Dalmatians where one of the bad guys gets car exhaust all over his face and a walnut in his mouth, I have no clue why it was so scary to me. Likewise an episode of Scooby Doo with the ghost of Geronimo. I think people were possibly unsettled by the woman just not looking like how you'd expect her to look on a commercial or on TV in general, if her hair was unkept, etc.
I used to hide behind the couch or behind the tv whenever there was a weekly test from the Emergency Broadcast system.
Hi guys a lost song named as "How Long Will It Take" has been found and the artist is Paula Toledo. It's a great news. The real song name is "How Long".
Thank you for mentioning this! I love that song ❤
HUH WAIT WHAT???
let's goooooooo
I know I listened to the full song and it’s quite good actually
Filipino lost media is interesting. We lost our first Filipino movie, and lots of ads. They just fell down the rabbit hole.
A movie or movies were found in unlikely places like Thailand. Hopefully more will come up from film collectors.
I can't even find the Ramon Revilla movie where my grandpa played as one of the goons. He was also the SFX director. It doesn't say the movie is lost but I can't find it any where.
my grandpa had that commercial cause of a show in abc 5, i asked him too, he said he had that specific commercial in one of his vhs tapes, my grandfather is kind of a vhs collectibles, ive been trying to find that in his collection, he has a total of 97 vhs tapes but some of them is broken, i asked my grandfather to help me locate it and he did, but the problem is i cant play it cause the recorder is broken, but my grandfather is bringing it to a repair shop. upd. 6/17/24. wait for it.
hey hope it works out, you might be the one to uncover the mystery
Update plz
Any update?
Something new?
Tf u mean mystery 😂😂😂@@nicholashaynes660
from a production standpoint, this was probably a normal attractive actress on a poorly lit set, with makeup that wasn't optimized for film. things/people who look perfectly fine can look creepy if the people filming them don't know what they're doing
That recreation so uncanny
Xploshi called, she wants her draft back

Actually, the hunt for this commercial was detrimental to the fame of the flower shop. The shop was harassed both online and the review sites. The shop's review section in Google Maps was full of those obsessed with this commercial.
It was so much overexposed, our group expert in the Lost and Obscure Media FB Group decided to delete any mentions of this subject manner.
I pity the flower shop who does excellent products, to be harassed by these "seekers". Most of the members of that group agreed to our shared sentiment that Encarnacion Bechaves commercial hunt wasn't helping the shops, instead dragging it down like a heavy rock chained on the shop's neck.
I would wager that the people who remember this ad as creepy or terrifying were young children at the time. As we've seen, kids' memories are not always great.
I just have to say, I love your channel's building aesthetic. It's as soothing and comforting as it is alien and uncomfortable. Really nails that feeling of liminal, memories are fuzzy, long ago, but slightly futuristic and alien feel that dreams and the aura around lost media embodies.
I find it odd that that remarkably small hole in the wall flower shop had enough money to air a commercial on multiple channels for over a decade...
And apparently nationwide. Otherwise, why would so many people recall this.
@@spankynater4242 its not nationwide all the people who recognized it were from the philippnies but still strange they were able to run it for a decade
Encarnacion Bechaves is a small business. I think they never thought this will become what it is now. So it's convincing that they won't have a copy. Filipinos were never really particular when it comes to film preservation. I'm sure the old TV chnannels will have a copy but it's possible they have lost it or it was damaged.
I have a faint recollection about that commercial. I can't remember exactly what's in it but ot was aired a lot back then. I wish I paid more attention. Flower shop commercials never interested me.
Can I just say, your editing has gotten scarily good. You’re nailing down the low budget, late 90s/early 2000s VHS look so well, that I can only tell it’s yours because it’s in 16:9. Nothing but respect

Even then, 16:9 is not uncommon for VHS
HIGHLY personal case of lost media of my own- There were these DVDs that I believe only went into circulation in Canada. (I’m in NL myself) I had about 2 or 3 of these… I remember I got them as Christmas gifts. They were called “Children’s Theatre”. There’s very little info online about them aside from the scattered box art. These came in volume sets. 1, 2, etc. I’m not sure just how many were made but all the box arts are some cheap, tacky and CREEPY as hell looking clip art, and the one thing that absolutely stuck out to me as a kid on every one of them is the ugly jester on the top. They all featured (from what I remember) creepy, experimental shorts that ranged anywhere from the mid 60’s to early 80’s, similar to the vein of Sesame Street. I don’t remember much of what happened in them but a little black boy skipping around while some really trippy stuff was going on, I believe there were video filters over him and it looked very disturbing, and then I remember there was this one animation… I don’t even remember what it was but it truly disturbed me in a way I can’t even describe, I remember the distinct feeling it left me with, almost sickening. It was a trippy Sesame Street-esque animation that I cannot even remember the details about… But all I know is that it scared the shit out of me so hard I never ever touched the DVD again and it just got scratched up and thrown out eventually over the years. I had kind of just brushed it off as something trippy I saw as a kid and nothing more until when I was working at my local goodwill centre recently and I saw like 2 more of them. I hesitated to get them because I didn’t want my co-workers thinking I was nuts… But they were gone the next day. I was kinda pissed… These DVDs are ALL lost media and as far as I’m concerned I’m the only one who actively wants to find them. Their footage is nowhere to be found online, I’ve checked absolutely everywhere. Only some box arts, not sure if all of them are online. I am so mad that I had the chance recently to save 2 of them but didn’t. From what I can tell these DVDs are very very rare… If anyone has them at all… PLEASE upload them because I’m absolutely dying to see what terrified me as a child. All I know is that it was contained somewhere within the first 5 volumes. It was seriously some creepy ass throwaway content/Peppermint Park type stuff. I don’t know if any puppets were used but I wouldn’t be surprised. I also wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of it was content from Pinwheel. But I really wanna see what the hell some out of touch 80 something in a suit thought was a good idea to call “children’s theatre.” I received these from a particularly sketchy friend of my mother’s in 2012, but I’m not sure when these went into production. Merry Christmas Shaii!! If I can trust anyone to get the most obscure of the obscure lost media out to the public it’s you
It looks like some of these DVDs are on Ebay and a site called just4games from what I can find
Another one for me to try finding... the black boy with trippy scenery matches a Sesame Street segment in which the boy was retracing his steps home (you can find it in classic Sesame Street compilations.) Otherwise, I know nothing so far.
I've never seen that commercial since I'm not from the Philippines, so I have no way of knowing if the recreation is accurate or not, but holy shit that was unnerving to watch.
production keeps getting better on this channel!
just wanted to say a massive thankyou for helping us find hlwit!!!!
It's strange that there are Philippines commercials that are meant to give you positive feelings (like Please Pray the Rosary) or are just normal, but they seem to give scary or uncanny feelings to viewers instead.
I kinda feel bad for the person in the add imagine becoming a unsettling creepypasta for people all over the country
I've seen this commercial like dozens of times since I was 8 and remember it vividly. This was not creepy in any way shape or form. It frustrates me that despite being a more common commercial than most lost media, it hogs all the attention, brings out the worst out of those frantically searching for it to the point of harassing innocent people - all because it's constantly kept hidden just to preserve the reputation some creepypasta enthusiasts fabricated/exaggerated.
I agree with you on the over exaggerating creepy bit, but I do find it interesting because so many people saw it and it can't be found anywhere. I'm not from the Philippines but I'd imagine it would be exciting to see a long lost commercial from my childhood😊
I remember this commercial
1. The recreaction 10x scarier than the real advertisement.
2. Its not Cita Astals
3. What maked this commercial creepy is the music (enya's Shepherd Moons) , the black background and the commercial has this eerie, almost religious tone that is very contrast to other upbeat commercial and tv shows in that timeslot at that time.
4. It has this soap opera 80s effect that is a slightly outdated during that time.
That looks like a witch... A witch from Eastwick
I'm SO happy you made a video about this commercial
I have a similar story about an anti smoking ad that used to scare me as a kid. It was kinda like a stop motion video and it had a scrape book like artsyle to it. It starts with a man walking into a factory. A robotic arm starts giving him one at a time until he goes to a 20 roll, opening his mouth wide like a snake. The commercial ends with a robotic voice asking "can you tell me why smoking isn't stupid?"
It used to be on CZcams
Found it czcams.com/video/4VBiSJCzFe4/video.htmlsi=FHZErw6xtrx-8Re4
There was one that used to scare me as a kid in the 90s. It featured a woman who would slowly turn to ash and scream in pain. I can't find it anywhere though.
@@Robzeke I hope you find it soon
Perhaps Eric Lin's top 100 scariest obscure psa's will help?
As a child back then, I didn't find the ad scary or creepy at all. Just thought that the lady had too much makeup but maybe the shop was trying to look formal, serious, and high-end. When you watch a lot of pinoy horror films at the time, you know what is truly scary. This ad was just old-fashioned and stuffy in my view back then.
Yes this. Also, there's a version of this commercial but instead of the lady, it's a little girl handing out a flower to someone.
Your editing is insane man, you need 1 million subs rn man, i love your videos Shaii
I'm not Filipino but I'd love to watch th Encarnación Bechavez ad.
same
How the hell do people remember all these commercials? I literally can't remember one commercial from my childhood. A sign of being raised by a television, I guess.
Or that section of the brain that retains info in your case is just a bit on the retarded side
pinoy pseudo-autism
Oh, well lah de fucking dah, I am sorry.
Modern ads look too boring and generic to be remembered. 90's commercials mostly don't stand out either but in the 2000's, many marketing agencies directed ads as short skits or some epic/action movies, and these stick in your heads. I remember a lot of alcohol ads were like that (for example the "No Nonsense" campaign).
If you didn't watch that much TV as a kid then its no wonder you can't remember any lol
Love your videos! Surprisingly low subscriber count for such amazing content! Keep it up!
Lmao that recreation is so eerie, I love it ❤
The fact that the commercial wouldn't even be that scary could also be attributed to how some kids find most unordinary things scary.
I remember being slightly scared of the Ecto Morphicons in the first Power Rangers movie as a kid.
Not even just that, kids have wild imaginations. If they think a scary thought, they have difficulty differentiating it from reality
I remember being terrified by Large Marge from the fucking peewee movie, it’s totally gonna be super mondaine, it always is
I believe the commercial probably would be somewhat creepy based on people, not just kids, talking about it on Pinoy Exchange during the time it was still circulating.
Far too many people have given the same reasons for being scared by it for me to believe there isn’t something to that.
Amazing production Shaii!
my theory about why it was perceived as scary stems from a few key details. it’s stated that there was a light behind the woman in the shot. so in addition to her hair being unkept. the light source illuminated up her stray hairs and cast a shadow on her face, giving that “witchy” look. good chance she looked right into the camera giving that feeling of being watched. and with the whole looking up the camera thing on a black background, it likely had unintentional horror moving pacing
I wonder if these things are remembered as scary just because they were watched during childhood, when the most benign things can be scary. I mean, I found white text on a black background (such as in movie credits) scary as a kid even if the movie itself was 100% family friendly.
BRO THAT F*CKING THUMBNAIL GETS ME EVERY TIME
16:30 I think quite a bit of the "terrifying" aspect of this commercial might be because of the young ages it was being shown to. Children can be afraid of the most innocuous things- I guess the part of the brain that differentiates between something to actually be afraid of and something harmless but a little off-putting hasn't fully baked yet. It took me *years* to learn how to swim because I was utterly terrified by the skimmer intake holes in the sides of swimming pools.
I have a lost media story of my own.
Back in the early days of CZcams, there was this channel called Nintendodsg (I think it was called) who uploaded speedruns and stuff. I distinctly remember watching this 16 star spreedrun of SM64 back in 2008, which was one of the first videos I watched. Anyway, the channel went down, taking the video with it, surprising considering its prominence in the Nintendo fandom; but I've wondered for years whether it's out there somewhere.
in scenarios like this my heart always bleeds for the poor person at the business who suddenly has to field the internet's inquires
As an Aussie, i now want to see the commercial
i saw that commercial and its a running gag in the family. the woman wasnt scary. she's beautiful. its just the smile and the dark background that gave it a creepy vibe.
its just like the director said. "smile"
and maybe the lady on the shoot was just not yet comfy in front of the camera.
Thanks for giving updates at the end of the video.
I love your videos shaii i just stumbled upon your channel :)
I always seeing this commercial before because I've watched a lot of shows in RPN9 and IBC13.
What a nostalgic commercial of Encarnacion Bechaves 😅
this commercial was more comforting to me than scary. i remember my childhood days as i'm spending my sunday afternoons with my grandma watching tv while she's sewing. we always have great weekends.
love the new intro! very aesthetic
Since I live in Japan, there is no way to find old commercials from the Philippines.
I find it very strange that flower shop commercials are creepy.
Therefore, I hope to find the commercial video soon.
Nice. Thank you for bringing up nostalgia.
Honestly, I don't remember the commercial being scary, just nostalgic.
Am I the only one creeped out by the thumbnail?
Yeah. It's an ai generated image made for a recreation of the ad
Nope
No
Yes. 28,000 people watched this video and you are the only one disturbed by the uncanny face the lady makes.
YES!
At the end, you didn't get a chance to mention that another Lostwave, How Long Will it Take, was found too. They didn't find it on CZcams, but once they figured out what the song really was, they did eventually discover it had also been on CZcams all along, just not by title. The comments had identified the title and singer's name though
as well as fond my mind, just recently identified as "feel like a wish". hope he makes video/s about these recently-found songs.
Right next to SM64 big star secret, this is another piece of lost media that I would like to see found. IDK, it just sounds interesting, and I do like creepy/weird commercials.
Those overly dramatic Jollibee commercials have scarred me also
Does anyone remember a movie about a boy getting tucked in bed by his parents and then he starts to dream about him and his stuffed animals coming to life and they go on a train together and visit places and then the parents find the boy sleep walking and then wake him and does stuffed animals are scattered around the house?
Tbh it rings a bell but that’s all I can say, try posting this on the subreddit or wiki.
@@RoanRants I don’t have Reddit, nor do I really have any desire to get it.
@@Phoenixy989 Fair enough
90s kid here but cant recall this much. Creepy af anyway. I do still recall some creepy ads back then around 1997 or 1998
Tiny detail: the screenshot you used at 6:20 does not match the translated text. It is talking about pro-wrestling, not Encarnacion Bechaves.
yeah i was really confused when i saw that and was about to comment about it lol
That woman has a morena face with wavy hair and a creepy smile, she slowly lift the rose to her face while fading to black with the logo slowly shows up. Tena i still remember it, its a full close up of her face for a 3-5 seconds.
Yes, it was a nightmare for me as a kid and until now i still remember it.
when this gets found im going to pass out i have been looking for it for a lot of years
Encarnacion:
"in-car-nah-see-ohn"
I remember seeing the ad in the late '90s when I was a toddler on GMA7, around the time Eat Bulaga or some noontime show/afternoon soap opera would be aired. Couldn't remember the exact details but I remember the brand (I saw they had a booth at SM MOA but that was a little more than a decade ago now) and the vibe of the ad. Not creepy for me, just quite weird, probably because of the quite dark color scheme/lighting and I remember the music was slow and the voiceover was a deep male voice.
Maybe the creepy woman was an employee of that shop and was extremely camera shy?
Or just an actor?
That would be sad
The thumbnail is nightmare fuel
I HEAR KYLIE’S VOICE!! ❤❤
Looking back, it did left a mark in my memory not because its scary, it was just an out of place commercial, right next to other ads back then that were fast-paced, it was rare to see a flower shop ad placement on a national tv. But I think Enya's ever relaxing music with that male voice over gave it that haunting impression. I like Enya's music now and I thank the odd commercial for introducing that.
Thats nothing compared to 1975's "Beyond the Door" tailer. It would air without warning, in the middle of the day, sending many kids running from television to their parents, crying.
She also would look into camera saying "whoooooareyouuuuuu!"
LET'S GOOOOOO
Nothing in the visuals of the original commercial was scary. It was Enya's music that made me depressed. It brought the mood down because this would air in channels where I watched basketball or wrestling.
Are you being truthful? I'm obsessed with finding this commercial, and this recreation is horrifying. Everyone is talking about how creepy the actress was, was it actually creepy?
LOL I always remember the name, and I am sure I have seen the commercial before, but from what I remember it just was the usual video quality ad. I don't ever recall any commercial causing me distress, trauma or even any memory aside from just being a funny bad ad. As a former adverstising professional I would have known if it was anything especially infamous or scary- just something one knew and recalled as one of the oldies and funnies, alongside the Anzale paint TVC.
So I was checking out roses for Valentine’s Day and napadaan ako sa shop Nila sa MoA. The employee at the shop is a veteran employee ng shop nila. Basta ang sinabi nya sakin bunsong anak ni Encarnacion Bechaves yung babae. She also knows who conceptualised or directed the video.
If there is a possibility that you can ask him personally if he still has the ad, please do it.
This is a great lead please update us and share this on other places
It would be nice to drive a web AI crawler over those yts and try to find parameters to narrow down the stuff needed to comb through
It was probably cancelled, discontinued, and forgotten about after it people where terrified about it.
Finding lost commercials are pretty cool 😎
I don't live in the Philippines so I don't think I've ever seen this commercial as a kid and thank God I didn't or else I'd probably cry and scream from it
Nice video! :)
This commercial is one of the lost media cases I wanna see soon!!! Very badly!
I can never recall this advert no matter how much I try to remember it. They said it was played during boxing events in which my family watched every Sunday so its likely I saw it. There were a lot of creepy commercials in the Philippines back then as mentioned in some comments. I like to point out a toothpaste(?) commercial where a girl keeps eating cakes and sweets but didn't brush her teeth and she became monstrous in appearance and frightened everyone who attended her birthday.
Another one which I think only aired in our region was just a picture of Grim Reaper standing and behind him were distant hills and text that says something but I don't remember anymore. What made it haunting was the background electric guitar music that today reminds me of Red Weed in Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds musical. I think it was a warning for something but I don't know. This goes back to the day when we still had static ads.
the ads from many years ago were actually disturbing. We were just desensitized. Watching those local commercials again as an adult was challenging. I can't go through them anymore.
@@chroniclesofalivingdeadgirl I prefer the old ones they were clever and several of them were funny too. Now ads are nonsensical and the volume the set them on is so loud.
This wasn't aired during boxing events. I remember this add airing in GMA 7 before.
@@theunholyone2505 I saw some videos described it being aired also in Sundays during boxing shows among many others. I think you're right cause I don't remember this ad at all.
Anytime a stationary Grim Reaper flashes up on your TV monitor is bound to be pretty haunting. I'd kill to see that picture.
I don't know why, but "Encarnacion Bechaves" makes me laugh SO HARD!!!
Its because a large portion of what would become the mind control training programs of public broadcast were created entirely using early AI technology, it was fed all the available information and made it's content accordingly, this commercial was some sort of glitch or outlier
🤨
*hits crack pipe*
@@TrashQueenAndKing i dont know what they told you but the crack helps the angels teach the children how to slay the demons with the weapons of a good education
This may be one of the all-time funniest CZcams comments.
2:48 NIRVANA FONT!!??
My guess is that it's somewhere rotting on CZcams as a filipino titled video, with a compilation of shows that just managed to capture the commercial
im surprised a mom and pop store was advertised nationwide
WOW, that was really scary, never thought of this commercial could be lost throughout the years, saying that it was around the 90s, if it's really found, hopefully I won't get goosebumps of this creepy lost tv, which I do, but hopefully not LoL.
Also in second, You know what really missing? I wasn't in around the 90s as a grown up nor a young teenage, but I was born around the 90s less, but I couldn't point my finger, because? There was a lost commercial broadcast show that I couldn't find it on in internet or on CZcams, and it's a talent show or a competition that's called " Brown Bags to Stardom " which is located in Hawaii around the 90s ( Do anyone or anybody remember this show ). It's not because I know, I found few songs cover of BBTS, probably might have seen this around 7 months ago, but I wasn't focus on the show when I suddenly saw CZcams videos brought me here, it's a old song that I have never even heard of this in a long time, a very heart warming/ emotional song that's called " I'll Always be your Friend" By a young singer name Lorie Salvatera, that's when I found it on CZcams, with a few other songs has been around in the late 2010s ( her first single album is "It's a Groove Thing" ). but unfortunately, she has a few other songs that went missing through out the years, which is know a lost media. But, there's hope for that, because a CZcamsr ( name Ka Lahui o Hawai'i Nei ) who's Uploads old songs from 70s, 80s 90s, & 2000s, has now have an album with him and he did, few of them has now been found, but still 4 others hasn't been uploaded yet, but still excited. But I do notice when I saw a covered that says BBTS, because Lorie was participant of that show ( Which is a image that shows LS is in front of the cover ) with a few other artists talented in there as well. Whatever happened to the Hawaii talent show ( where is the few artists go, why nobody ever mention about this broadcast, including Lorie Salvatera's Lost Album/songs & maybe a lost music video of her, U never know? ) that wasn't appeared on CZcams? I actually noticed there is a channel that's called " Brown Bags " which wasn't on a full footage of that on their YT channel? Also, I even asked LSuperSonicQ, to talk about the singer and the lost show as well, as soon as possible ( which he has confirmed my request, and he will mention in a few months on 2024 ). Whoever has it or anyone noticed the show that has been recorded on live television around that year. Please uploaded as soon as U or anyone can, to see the old show of BBTS singers & the singer Lorie Salvatera singing her 3 songs on live performs ( never before seen ), I will be so happy see this mysterious show when it's released/found in CZcams. Including a lost commercial as well? I know I write it to long / slow, because I was speaking on my recording speaker, due to my learning disability, but I still a bit write stuff. Whoever reading this, TY for listening/reading my comments. 😊📺📼🎶✨🌈💖
I think remember seeing this as a kid. Usually during commercial breaks when animes are on, dragonball z, that "takore show" aka time travel tonkedaman! anime (we were flooded with bad dubs during that time). I think the last I've seen it was during the infamous "bad yu yu hakusho dub" where yusuke is called eugene, kurama as dennis, kuwabara as alfred and hiei as vincent. Gotta say, it was really creepy AF, gives you goosebumps not just because of the model, but the voiceover and its got that really old video vibe where colors are really off, has that yellow tinge which certainly adds to the overall creepy vibe. I remember the feeling. It's like watching a video of a person that you know is dead.
you’d probably have to look in local commercial compilations, since as you said it aired near the capital of Philippines.
This the type shit I end up watching wen I can’t sleep and end up spooking myself
Well, this is awesome
Sometimes I wonder whether the work I'm doing qualifies as this and the youtube algorithm is telling me to post a comment. But, I'm stubborn.
I just found your channel. I like the exchristian vibes. (shit I can't say so long as my contract is active for five more days.)
Was it really that scary? I never saw this version, I always saw the darker one, with Enya playing in the background. There was also that other commercial for video rentals. Saw all this while watching late-night month-old reruns of WWF on RPN-9 or ABC-5
Ive just seen the intro and nothing else of the video: the frutiger aero intro is awesome.
whenever i hear encarnacion, i just think of the song from Nacho Libre, so I can't take this commercial seriously lol
Encarnacioooooooooon, Encarnaciooon oh oh oh ohhhh 💀
that's an interesting marketing it goes for a lifetime.. just a single commercial... bravo
I think the woman is holding a bouquet of rose and not just a rose... or is it maria clara sangria? 😂😂😂
There are no copy on commercial of Encarnacion Bechaves in some TV stations in the Philippines including GMA 7 and TV5
The Advertising Standards Council(ASC) are no idea about this lost commercial so they researched on going about the creepy commercial
The background music used was "Shepherd Moons" by Enya, my favourite new age singer and musician, but was used differently in the commercial.
This is a good lead. This is very underrated. Thanks for sharing
@@tacotrucker24 its an old lead tbh
Glad to hear that Filthy Frank's Kenya song was located.
Thank you, Lost Media Community. x
18:48 so we not gonna talk about SpongeBob and Patrick kissing 😭
Filipino ads are really on different level 💀
