Pilita Corrales is. Filipina who hails from Cebu, Philippines. She was one of the very first Filipinas who broke into the international scene, by winning the Asian Song Festival which garnered her the title Asia’s Queen of Song, that led her other international performances, especially in the US performing with big names like Sammy Davis Jr. Pilita is still very active in show business as an actress and still performs in concerts. She speaks Spanish quite well, as she comes from Spanish descendants as well, as a lot of Filipinos are. Who are products of intermarriages. I hope this helps. By the way she is already 81 years old and still is in good shape for a woman her age, still very vital and active and can still sing and carry a performance quite well! A truly seasoned singer and performer she is!
Rosas pandan en espanol is a bolero song composed by a visayan composer.
Pilita Corrales is well-loved by Filipinos (locally and internationally) and still very popular on TV guestings and concerts. Still beautiful as ever...she's aging (at 81 y.o.) gracefully! My older sister (married to a Spanish) watched a small private concert two yrs ago w/ Pilita Corrales performer.
The real answer is: she studied music in Spain.
Pilita asia queen's,,. one of invite guests performer,. The Beatles group year 1968 concert in Manila ,.. And many more Hollywood singer,..
There was no other Filipina, then and now, who made it big outside the Philippines, as a recording star. So it's wrong to say 'she's one of the very first Filipinas...'. Pilita became a hugely popular singer/performer in Australia for 4 years between 1959-1963, so popular that a street in Melbourne, Australia was named Pilita St. in her honor. Her mother language is Cebuano/Bisaya but she's fluent in both English and Spanish due to her Spanish ancestry. She's not fluent in Tagalog just like most other true-blue Cebuano celebrities. Pilita made history in Australia for being the first woman, Aussie or foreigner, to chart a song with her largely English repertoire in Australian pop charts.
Though, another Cebuana singer/performer, Amapola Cabase, became popular outside the Philippines with her own US television magazine show between late 1970s well to the 80s. Leah Salonga was globally popular outside the Philippines but as a theater actress.
She is a famous mestiza singer actress that go way way back many moons ago. A lot of our elderly are fluent in spanish especially those who were school-educated since spanish was part of their curriculum back in the day. A lot in our vocabulary as well including the dialects use spanish-influenced words/phrases.
Pilita Corales is actually more Spaniard than these two. They're very latino, the girl is brown. Pilita is white. She descended from Spaniard background, not latino, not mexico, not Colombia.
To the point na fromt act sya sa concert ng Beatles ❤️❤️❤️
And also the music.
I agree with you. Even my grandparents can speak Spanish(with filipino accent lang)
She's Spanish. Grew up in the phils from Spanish family/roots
She was one of the judges with Charice, Martin Nievera, and Gary Valeniano when KZ Tandingan won the X Factor PH. Corrales became the first Filipino to sing in Caesars Palace. In her concert in Caesars Palace, Las Vegas during the late 70s, Corrales sang Spanish, English, Cebuano and Tagalog songs,
Pilar Garrido Corrales (Pilita Corales) was born on August 22, 1939, at Lahug, Cebu City, to José Corrales and María Garrido. After finishing her studies at Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepción in Cebu, she went to finishing school in Spain at the Colegio Mayor de Padre Poveda.In 1957, Corrales began her recording career after arriving in Australia for a brief period. She left her legacy by becoming the first woman to make the Australian pop charts with a local recording called 'Come Closer to Me'. She became a star of the Victoria Television circuit and her first hit, Come Closer to Me, became part of a collection on which she is billed as one of the Grand Dames of Victorian Radio and Television.
Wow!!!
Cebu-born but both parents are full blooded Spanish. She is however fluent in Visaya since she grew up in Cebu.
@@caelannsj3581 According to Google, her father is Spanish and her mother is Filipino...
@@angelitamontano6946 that’s what I saw too but I heard in a Jackielou Blanco interview that her mom is full blooded Spanish but was born and raised in Cebu.
You Google it right?
back until the mid 80s Spanish was still taught as an elective in selected private high school, so the few remaining meztizo families with strong roots still with Spain were still able to converse with their children in Spanish at home. Pilita belongs to one of those families who usually lived outside Manila in the provincial cities like Cebu and Bacolod.
and BTW. Spanish still considered an official language here until 1987. Spanish was spoken predominantly (so once upon a time we WERE Latinos) deep into American colonization until the 40s when school instruction began to be taught in English and Spanish speaking numbers declined. When independence was granted, English was already the language of business and government and education.
Filipino novelty songs back in the day were usually to the melody that has Latin flavor in it, and old "country" or provincial music had Hispanic flavor mixed in it.
We're your long lost cousins. 😁
Yeah...hahahaha...
We were hispanic and we ARE generally hispanic because we have Spanish culture and language influence to a great extent and some have Spanish roots. But just like Spanish Saharans and Equatoguineans we are NOT Latinos and you will understand that when you look into the definition and origin of the word Latino itself. We do sometimes get confused of the terms Hispanic and Latino so please do look it up! ^^
But generally, your words were on point. My father still experienced Spanish in Highschool and my grandfather spoke to an extent and when he plays his Gitara and sings in Spanish, it was so in him I thought as a child, our language is the same as Spanish.
Yeah
Even in catholic church mass. The earliest mass was delivered in latin then the next schedule was in spanish. That was in early 90's way back to the old days.
Grandma Pilita Corrales is now 81 years old. This concert was more than 10 years ago. She is dubbed as "Asia's Queen of Songs". Her children are also well-known celebrities in the Philippine film industry. Corrales became the first Filipino to sing in Caesars Palace.
Pilita Corrales is also known as "Asia's Queen of Songs" because she was the first ever female Filipino singer to win an Asian International Award. Her career spanned for more than 5 decades both as a singer and an actress. One of the most bankable singers of her time...
Pelita Corales is from CEBU , PHILIPPINES she's Asia's Queen of Song .
During her days (Pilita Corales) was the Asia’s queen of Song, she’s also popular in USA back a days. She actually speaks Spanish fluently, most of Filipino elites in the Philippines speaks espanol language.
Back then, not so much now. 😔
Please react to pilita coralles "carinosa" en espanol.
Dahil purong Spanish siya..pure Spanish ang mga magulang niya..
@@jonilioazuela8400 her father is a filipino, Jose corrales y zaragoza
She is still the Asia's Queen of Songs. 😉
Ms. Pilita Corrales, the first time I heard her in the 60's, she instantly became my favorite. She is truly awesome, one of Philippines' finest singers.
Pilita Corrales es una cantante-actriz Española-Filipina desde la provincia de Cebu. Su apodo es "Asia's Queen of Songs". Ahora, ella sigue siendo actuando y cantando en la farandula Filipina. La Tita Pilita tambien canta canciones modernas como de Beyonce y Rhianna. Su hijo, su hija y sus nietos tambien son actores en Filipinas.
Pilita Corrales is 81 years old now and as far as I know, she's still active in the music and movie industries. I think she was already in her early 70s when she performed this song in Toronto. I am a Filipino musician who hails from the same region as Pilita. I still love to play this song with my guitar along with other Spanish songs like No Puedo Olvidar and Guantanamera.
She is the Last her kind. We just need to enjoy it that we can still hear her sing in her own way.
Around late 1950's Spanish was taught to many schools. Even my father can also speak and understand Spanish. He said that it was mandatory back then. My father is already 67 years old btw. 🥰
Señora Pilíta was an insularés, her parents, we're peninsulares, were born and raised in Valencia, Spain and their family was settled in the province of Cebu.
In her early age, she's not just a singer but an expert in Flamenco, Salsa and Tango.
She's the music icon of the Philippines during late 40's up to early 60's.
She's the bridge of Philippines to the latin world, sponsoring cultural dialogue with Latin American countries even Spain.
As a kid I always remember Pilita as my parents favorite singer because of her awesome personality. The Asia's Queen Of Songs.
She is one of Philippines legendary singer and actress. She is what we Filipinos call a "Filipina Spanish Mestiza". When she is performing on stage as an actress she can't help adding some adlib in her script speaking in Spanish language.
My Dad was her band leader on several occasions....she's such a timeless talent!!
Pilita Corrales is a Filipino with Spanish ancestry. Colloquially, we call her Spanish mestiza or mestiza since she is part Spanish. She studied in Spain and her first husband happens to be pure Spanish which is why she can speak Spanish fluently.
She is Filipina-Spanish, a very well known singer and actress in the Philippines. Fluently speaks English and Spanish language andTagalog and Visayan dialects.
Yooowww bisaya isn't a dialect it is actually a language
Tagalog and Visayan languages! Not dialects.
In honor of her, there is a street in Australia named after her. She performed in Las Vegas with famous artist like Sammy Davis jr, Julio Iglesias, Johnny Mathis to name a few. She is a Spanish-Filipina
Bisaya is a language while Cebuano is a dialect. Pelita speaks the Cebuano dialect.
Jaya mentioned her to you guys during your podcast with her. Pilita is a good friend of Jaya's mom and helped her start her career here in the Philippines. Jaya calls her "mamita"
Ok ate ako nang mag aappreciate sa comment mo. Sayang lang effort mo pag eexplain kasi wala rin naman silang pakialam at wala rin kaming pakialam

My mom is now 63years old and she said that back in her day, school in the Philippines has Spanish Subject/Class. So, my mom’s generation learn how to speak Spanish. I even remember my mom talking in Spanish when I was a kid which now remembering it how I wish we have Spanish Class when I started schooling. Because now I live in the place where half of the population are talking in Spanish. If we have back in my days then it should be as easy as pie to talk in Spanish today.
Great reaction you too. What a genuine reaction!💕
Loved this guys! Makes me think of my childhood too. This song reminds me of my parents, my grandparents. I live in Atlanta Georgia USA but was born in the Southwestern United States, Colorado, and grew up in New Mexico where there is a large Hispanic demographic. Mi Gente. 💖Yes we all originate from our home country, Spain and have this music and culture in common. 😊 Love you guys. 👍
Please invite Ms. Pelita corrales on your feature Friday segment. To know her more
Please 🙂
Yes yes yes please
And maybe you can all speak in Spanish! That would be the bomb!
Pilita Corales is one of the Music Legends during my Moms time.She is a Filipina 🇵🇭
She was our favorite singer in 196os when I was in high school. I can still sing this song when I wish in our gatherings this day and I'm 73.
I always enjoy watching your awesome reactions to our Filipino singers. Huge thank you for deep appreciation of our talents in singing. I pray more Filipinos will subscribe to your channel.
Pilita Street
Where: Victoria, Australia.
Named after: Pilita Corrales, singer.
It was in Australia that Pilita Corrales began her singing career. In 1959, she set sail for Australia with actor-magician John Calvert for some engagements. En route, they were shipwrecked off Australia’s northern coast and rescued by the Navy. The duo went on to perform in Sydney, Darwin, and Melbourne.
Pilita was an instant hit and was featured on popular TV shows, thrilling audiences with her English, Spanish, and Filipino songs. She was signed up by Astor Records and became the first female recording star in Australia to score a hit on the pop charts with the song ‘Come Closer To Me’-long before Olivia Newton-John and Kylie Minogue.
Considered as one of the ‘Great Dames of Victorian Radio and Television,’ Pilita was honored by having a street named after her in the ’70s in the Forest Hill district of Victoria.
In 1963, she returned to the Philippines to establish her career in her own country. Pilita continues to perform regularly in Australia today, most recently in 2015, where Australians still recognize her as the star of their generation.
[Source: FilipiKnow]
she is a Cebuana. you should checkout her entry in Wikipedia. she is also "the first female artist to top the Australian pop music chart."
A street is named after her in Autralia because of that
Most of our elders speak Spanish, it was even thought in schools but the government removed it in 1987 as one of our national language…
She's from cebu city guys, she was our very popular pop singer. When I was in my college I have Spanish language from Spanish 1 to Spanish 4 N and fortunately finished it.
Pilar Garrido Corrales was born at Lahug, Cebu City, to José Corrales and María Garrido.
Her father is Spanish.
After finishing her studies at Colegio de la Inmaculada Concepción in Cebu, she went to finishing school in Spain at the Colegio Mayor de Padre Poveda. In 1957, Corrales began her recording career after arriving in Australia for a brief period. She left her legacy by becoming the first woman to make the Australian pop charts with a local recording called 'Come Closer to Me'. She became a star of the Victoria Television circuit and her first hit, Come Closer to Me, became part of a collection on which she is billed as one of the Grand Dames of Victorian Radio and Television.
Lifted this out from google. But I grew up with her songs because my mum’s a fan of hers. 😍
my mother was also a big fan of Ms. Pilita.
I remember in an interview she said her first language is Spanish, and she cannot speak Tagalog before.
Yes her mother tongue is Spanish.
Purong Spanish ang lahi nya..Si Gloria Arroyo nga fluent pa rin mag Spanish dahil Spanish ang salita ng Tatay nya..
@@jonilioazuela8400 ahh. I thought Filipino yung tatay nya. Or maybe Spanish immigrants yung grandparents nya, so her father was pure Spanish blood but was born and raised in Ph and had Filipino citizenship.
@@loryasis7837 ang mga ninuno po nila ang spanish. Sa totoo lng po ang mga spanish na pinanganak dito ang mga unang tinawag na Filipino nung panahon ng kastila. Ang mga native po indio po tawag sa kanila noon, hindi Filipino..
You are correct. She speaks Cebuano but very little Tagalog and when she does, she has a very prominent “bisaya” accent.
I am a 73 yr old lady and i studied Spanish at 3 yrs of age in our hometown. And back in college, we had 12 units in Spanish of which i thanked my roots 'coz in all of my spanish subjects, i got 1.0..
She is the one I considered as the amazing in the world of music, when I first saw her concert I totally amazed how she was performed.
She's been in the industry since the late 60s, imagine that guys
Correction please. SHE'S been in the industry in the late 50s ans not 60s.
FUN FACT : Pilita helped in discovering the now popular, KZ Tandingan as one of the OG Judges of the Philippine franchise of the 1st x factor, together with fellow judges--Martin, Gary and Charice. 😊✌️
Reportedly, she's the only filipina to open a concert for the beatles
until the 80's spanish is still the second language in the legal papers of the philippines. and it is still teach in college. you had to earn 12 units of college points to graduate in college.
Me encanta Pilita una de las más grandes cantantes de Filipinas...me siento orgulloso que lleve sangre española. .saludos desde España
"Historia de un Amor" is a famous and well-loved song in the Philippines. I think it was used as an OST in a Mexican movie in the 50's or 60's. But even 'til the 90s, the song was still being played in some local radio stations and was still being sung and perfomed by rondalla bands in restaurants in Manila.
Given the history of the Philippines, Filipinos have mixes as well Filipino-Chinese, Filipino-Hispanic, Filipino-American, etc. And each cultural mix is very much alive and continue to thrive in all aspects.
If you truly wish to delve into it, Pilita was among the very first true Divas. Look at the history of our beauty queens through the years, many are from long standing “old families”. For some, Spanish is their first language followed by their dialect then Tagalog and finally English. The same goes for those with Chinese roots….
about Fil-XXX mixes… you have not mentioned those who Kpop, kdrama and kmovies and alsoJapanese anime na feel na feel nila ang immersion into those cultures. 😀
Well put!
not all Filipino poulations are mixes of blood (with mestizo features ) its only about 3% nawawala na nga pagkain ng mga siglo...hindi gaya2 sa Mexico na 40% (pure Spanish )50%(meztisos)20%(Indian natives ). sa northen Thailand halos mestizo Instik sila kaya kitang kta sa mga artistas nila at kabilang sila sa lahing indio China...tayong pilipinos ay lahing indo mayala or austronesians.
I sooo love, love this song. I used to hear that piece sang by my aunts, uncles, grandmas and old folks when i was still a toddler. Indeed, so nostalgic. 😢❤️💗
Wowow! I miss Pilita . I grew up watching her back in the 80's. Love it that you made this.
She is a singer in the 70`s & she is one of the best singer in 70`s & 80`s
Because in the earliest times, Spanish is taught in school. Cebu was the first region colonized by Spaniards. She is Cebuano. Our grandparents know how to speak Spanish.
It was not Elizabeth Ramsey who was so popular in Australia but it was Pilita Corrales.....In fact there was a street in Australia by the name of Pilita Corrales...Proud of her being a Cebuano!
Pilita Corrales is a Filipino singer of Hispanic descent. She's very fluent in Spanish. So Spanish/Mexican music comes out naturally of her plus she has that caucasian look that makes her popular in the Philippines. She is Asia's Queen of Songs. The Corrales who lives in Cebu, Philippines still speak Spanish in their household to preserve the language. We're neighbors with her brother's family. All white mestizo looking who speaks Cebuano, Spanish and English. In the case of Pilita, she speaks Tagalog since she lives in Manila but they still have a residence in Cebu City.
Our national hero Jose Rizal wrote his novels Noli Me Tangere, El Filibustirismo, because Spanish was our official language in the Phillipines.
Efra, you might be interested to read those books written by Jose Rizal. Those are gems :)
Did you mean Rizal will not write the novel if Spanish was not a language in the Philippines at that time?
@@JC-bq1us No, he was talking about how the name of the books were "spanish"
@@JC-bq1us What kind of logic is that lmao
@@JC-bq1us Rizal would very much have written his novels in Tagalog or any of the 22 languages he knew, read, wrote and spoke.
The novels were written in Spanish not just because it was the official language in the Philippines at the time, but because he intended to.
Just like Pilita, there is a very small portion of the Philippine population that is composed of Insulares (Spanish purebloods who migrated to the islands), Peninsulares (Spanish purebloods who were born and raised in the islands), and mestizos. Most of them still speak fluent Spanish, as well as English, Tagalog and other dialects.
please allow me to correct you Mr. Jeff Versoza, insular roughly means island and Spanish Insulares refers to those Spanish who were born and raised here in our islands. Peninsulares on the other hand roughly means peninsula, and Spanish Peninsulares refer to Spanish who were born in the Iberian Peninsula where Spain and Portugal located
I remember peeking one ballet dancing practice on my home province where there are 2 pure blooded Spanish. So beautiful they are.
@@dugdugsatimog You are correct, I got it mixed up and stand corrected. Thank you!
My grandmother is now 67 years old . She told me that back in there highschool days they have a Spanish subject💕☺️
She is from Cebu, the same place Morissette comes from. She is of Spanish descent and speaks fluently Spanish, Visayan dialect, Tagalog, and English. After graduating from Colegio dela Inmculada Concepcion and Colegio Mayor de Padre Poveda. She has an Album all in Visayan and dialect, an album in Spanish, Tagalog & English. She is the real deal. She started it all for singers as she was the first one who made it internationally in the early 60s. She made it big in Australia before coming back to the Philippines.
Back in 2019 I had the chance to work with her for an out-of-town event, she's very cordial, down-to-earth, and generous.
Pilita is one of the greatest performers of her time. She owns the stage every single performance. She speaks English, Spanish, Tagalog, and Visaya fluently.
She's 82 now and this was maybe just a few years back so it is amazing for her to maintain her voice (and figure!)
Pilita was born in Cebu and has Spanish blood. Fun fact: she has a collection of wigs for performing. I've yet to see a photo of her with her natural hair.
I am a Filipina in New York & have been watching you since I stumble upon your channel. Pilita Corrales as far as I know is of Spanish heritage but born & raised in the Philippines. You are a goodlooking family.👌👌👌
The Philippines was colonized by Spain for 333 years. Deep roots in there.
Pilita Corrales' mother was an immigrant from Granada, Spain, while her father was Filipino Spanish. Her paternal grandfather migrated to the Philippines from Zamora Spain. Her paternal great grandmother was a daughter of a Spanish military officer and a Uruguayan. Her Filipino blood comes from her paternal grandmother. Her first language is Spanish, second languages are Cebuano and English, Tagalog is her 4th language when she decided to pursue a singing career in the Philippines but her musical career started in Australia where she became the first female artist to top the Australian chart. Her first husband was Spanish which produced a daughter (also an actress in the Philippines), she bore a son (also an actor) from a Filipino-Spanish actor, and her second husband is a Paraguayan-Spanish. Before K-pop, it was Pilita Corrales that invaded Asia. All the rest is in Wiki. She is a F"#€%n legend!!! :D
Pilita Corrales is a Filipina born and raised in the Philippines. She has a strong spanish blood that's why she looks like from south america. She is now about 78 years old but she still performs. There is a lot of great Filipino singers and she is definitely one of the best.
here’s a nice trivia for you efra regarding your favorite live performer…. you have now reacted to all the judges who discovered KZ Tandingan: Gary, Martin, Charise (back then), and finally Pilita.
nobody honestly thought you guys will be able to complete the four but very happy that you did.
Gosh, Efra, you've researched about 3 generations--different eras of musical artists of the Philippines! Who knows, soon you'll discover more of our great national artists (composers) of 1900's who composed 'kundimans' (Philippine Tagalog timeless songs sung to us by our grandmother when we were smal.l Way to go!👏🎶🇵🇭🎼
Pilita, together with Bert “Tawa” Marcelo, was a host of the original “Tawag ng Tanghalan” singing contest when Regine Velasques won and started to become famous in the show.
She was one of the judges when KZ Tandingan joined the X-Factor, if you will remember.
A proud Filipino, her name is Pilita Corrales. She's also was famously actress and comedienne back in the days..
My grand mother used to sing this song to me when i was young, she always carry me in her arms and dancing and singing so that i can sleep. My grand mother also a friend to Ms. Pilita coralles when they where young they were participating in a amateurs singing contest in guizo mandaue city cebu.
It is quite common for Filipinos with Spanish decent to have grandparents that spoke and looked like Pilita Corales.
The Philippines was a Spanish colony for a long time. Spanish was even part of our curriculum in college in the past.So many Filipinos spoke or at least understood Spanish.
Pilita Corales is a popular Filipina singer/ actress during the 60s.. she was tagged as ASIA'S QUEEN OF SONG during her reign as Philippines topnotch singer.
I love that you too love Pilots Corrales. She is a Filipino, born and raised, she is living now in Quezon City Philippines and still very active in her singing career. One of the best singers in our country. Phenomenal is beyond her. The best in her class. That is Pilita for you. Love her much.
Pilita Corrales correction please.
It’s just a generational thing. She came from a generation where more people, mestizos especially, spoke Spanish in the Philippines. Her grandchildren don’t speak Spanish anymore.
Spanish class was mandatory like English before too. Even my dad wqs good at Spanish
Yes...during my late grandmother (born in 1900s) spoke fluent Spanish as she grew up with Spanish way of living. I believe she had Spanish blood from her ancestors. The Philippines wash colonized for 300 years and Spanish was the spoken language aside from Tagalog and English. In the 1950s-1970s, Spanish language was a major college subject. Our national hero, Dr. Jose P. Rizal (a multi-linqual) wrote "Noli Me Tangere" and " El Filibusterismo" in Spanish and widely studied and taken as our regular subject in Philippine History course. That's why many Filipinos are familiar with Spanish language, having a big influence in our history.
there are quite a number of famous spanish songs back then and then manila sound became popular and eventually the start of opm revolution
Pilita Corrales came from the oldest city of Cebu, Philippines.
She is the Asia's Queen of Songs.
Since March 16, 1521, the Philippines was under Spain until the American came in 1898.
Philippines has 111 dialects.
Pilita Corales, the smooth, soul piercing singer whom I grew.up listening to her when I feel so alone and it would bring back memories with my Mother and Sister Carmen who loved to hear her music n singing Style. Her Carinosa, her Dalagang Pilipina, her A Million Thanks ToYou were the Daily music we would hear in the house . Its a remarkable performance that characterizes her a well deserved DIVA.Perfectionist singer belting with ease as if she cradles me in a hammock with inspiration n peace. Pure magic Ms Pilita. I loved your music since I was seventeen years old until now im 66, your music resonates in my very heart n soul. May God bless you more with long Life. I was floored when I met you personally in 1995. You are divine.
It's actually Pilita Corrales. The street in Australia was named after her because that's where she started her career. It's called Pilita Street if I'm not mistaken. Pilita is half Spanish and half Filipino, and can speak Spanish fluently.
Better have her in your podcast 😄
YESSSS

The Spanish language is still being taught in the Philippines. When I was still in college we got Spanish as an elective. We were taught to how to converse in, count and even pray in Spanish. I graduated from a Catholic school here in the Philippines in 2017.
I think spanish class was still part of the school curriculum until the 60s in PH
1980s, actually.
in the 80's we still have Spanish subjects in college.
😢 sadly it was just an elective during my time and I didn't took it.
@@BenjaminGerez yep it was. Had to memorize the recipe for paella in spanish for my final exam. barely pass. hahahaha
Until the 70's. In 1975 i was a freshman at UST College of Engineering, we had Spanish 1 in the 1rst sem and Spanish 2 in 2nd sem
You guys have seen her her before and did not even notice it. Looking back at your Nov. 25 2020 reaction to KZ's X factor audition, Efra asked who the judges were as he addressed her as the elderly lady. Later on you discovered Gary then Martin, you both are familiar with Charice and last but not least Pilita. It's official, you both have covered doing reactions on all the people involved in that fateful day when KZ came to our hearts.
Pilita Corrales was born of a Spanish and Portuguese parents here in Philippines (Cebu City). She speaks fluent spanish, english and cebuano. She's a diva, a popular singer here in Philippines. Most Filipinos during my great grandparents time speaks spanish, but was slowly eradicated (died of a natural death so to speak) when the medium of instruction in schools was changed from Spanish to English. But still we used words in our daily conversations from Spain.
She studied in Spain that's why Pilita Corrales can speak fluent spanish.
not only studied but 80% spanish by blood
@@princesshendrix1957 only 50% because her father is a filipino
@Genesis No,her father is filipino Jose Corrales from malate,manila.her mother Maria Garido from granada,spain.
@@princesshendrix1957 no 50%only
@Genesis how come?
She was still singing before the pandemic. She is the most popular singer of her generation. She is still well known until now by every generation . She is a great singer with a powerful character, very regal , so present when she is on stage. And even off stage. Reason why she is still so known even by the youth.
Pilita Corrales.us a filipino with spanish blood. She is ASIAs QUEEN OF SONGS!!!
Nuestra generación mayor en Cebú (Visayas) habló español. Todavía recuerdo que mis abuelos hablaban español o mezclaban nuestro dialecto visayano con el español mientras hablaban entre sí.
Verdad.. hay muchos mestizos en cebu. Ojala que el Castellano no desaparese en Cebu.. pieso que es mejor que hablamos en Castellano y en nuestra lenguaje nativa contra lenguaje de tagalores. Es injusto por nosotros de aprender tagalo. Mi opinion.
@@okitatatsumaki2769 Pero tampoco es malo aprender a hablar otra idioma... Si la oportunidad le permite, debe que aprovecharlo...Nada es tarde en la vida..
Es verdad.. Muchos que habla en Español en esta región..Mi abuela es fluida en Español.. Tal vez ella me dio la herencia de aprender debidamente a través de milagro geneticó 🤣
So happy that it reminded waleska of the singers that she looked up to.
Actually she is born in the times where Spanish is being taught in school than English. Spanish were like our 2nd language during Spanish colonization of 300 years before American came as the last colonizer and became our common language now. So most of our grandmothers still speaks Spanish.
.
She is very fluent in Spanish and Visayan dialect in the Philippines and of course English. She is called Asia's Queen of Songs.
She is not only a Singer, she is also an Actress and a TV Host too.
Yes, she's from Cebu. The island I am living right now. She used to be my mom's neighbor. I believe her relative and my mom's relative got married. I mean i have like a whole town of relative in an area here 😆
Mi Hermoso Pais Filipinas 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Always love ur commentary specially with our Filipino singers. Glad I subbed!!! Keep up the great channel! God Bless U both!
Waleska Pilita was from Mindanao, Cagayan de Oro City. The first popular Filipinos in Las Vegas was Pilita Corales next was Pac-man a boxer.
THE 1960's WAS PILITA'S HEYDAY. SHE REIGNED SUPREME IN THE PHILIPPINES' MUSIC INDUSTRY TOGETHER WITH CARMEN SORIANO AND CARMEN PATENA (pronouned patenia). PILITA REMAINS ACTIVE UP TO THIS DAY. SHE'S NOW IN HER EARLY 80's AND STILL CAN SING AND PERFORM AT HER AGE. SPANISH IS PILITA'S FIRST LANGUAGE. IT IS NOT ENGLISH, CEBUANO OR TAGALOG
Fun fact: Pilita Corales was the host with Bert Marcelo of the local singing contest Ang Bagong Kampeon that catapulted Regine Velasquez to stardom
Pilita reminds me of home too back in the province. My mom was a huge fan. Pilita was always finely dressed in gowns - she was always shining, shimmering, splendid. She has been known for having a sinewy, sexy body and she would bend backwards, as in low to emphasize a song. Here's a trivia for you - Pilita used to live in Australia and in fact, she became a recording star there in the late 1950s and early 1960s. At the height of her fame there, she left and went back to the Philippines where she became an even bigger star, having her own TV show called An Evening with Pilita which was a big rater in the 1960s. She also headlined for a number of years in Las Vegas with such well-known American stars as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Amado del Paraguay, who became her lover. She's known as Asia's Queen of Song.
Pilita's parents were of Spanish blood from Cebu. Spanish used to be widely spoken in the Philippines and it was even part of the school curriculum. I am old enough to have experienced Spanish classes until it was abolished in the late 1980s, which was a shame. My grandparents spoke fluent Spanish and they were not even rich, nor had Spanish blood. They were just farm laborers in haciendas in Negros.
Pilita is the asia'sQUEEN of songs pride of the philippines she can spaek spanish and sing spanish song.
