Talk:Pilita Corrales

Untitled
The article says this person is of Spanish Filipino descent. Is there enough Spanish origin to justify placing this article in the 'Spanish Filipinos' category? Thanks Hmains 22:44, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * She and her daughter certainly look Spanish and she composed and sung and made records of many Spanish songs.--Jondel 05:47, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

I can confirm, as one of Pilita’s family members, that she is of Spanish descent. Her mother and my grandmother, Maria, was born in Granada Spain. Her father was also Spanish. Pilita was born in Cebu. Spanish was the language spoken at home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.198.44.206 (talk) 09:11, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Place of Birth
There seems to be a bit of confusion over the birthplace of Pilita. The Filipino Music Registry page has her listed as being born in Manila. And that she went to "St. Theresa'a College in Baguio." The whole second part of that is bogus. St. Theresa's College is in Cebu. And she didn't go there. She went to Inmaculada. I don't know for sure that she was "born in Manila and raised in Cebu." I, however, never heard that until the Filipino music registry website listed her as being born in Manila. Since the Filipino Music registry website can't get their facts straight about what schools are where and to what school Pilita went, I'm NOT going to trust them on the claim that she was born in Manila. The person who keeps changing the wiki page uses a reference that likely got their information from the Filipino music registry because that reference lists place of birth, school and finishing school in the exact order as the registry does--in exactly the same wording. The only difference is that he got the schools right. I think the person got the infomation from the registry and chose to leave Manila as the only fact as correct. Since the Filipino Music registry website can't get their fact straight about what schools are where and to what school Pilita went, I'm not going to trust them on the claim that she was born in Manila. I think people at the Filipino Music Registry are trying to claim Pilita's caucasianess and Spanishness for the Tagalogs.

Spanish
I remember reading somewhere that Pilita said that at home they spoke Spanish, Cebuano/Visayan and English. My grandmother knew the father and was friends with my great grandfather. (This is according to my grandmother who is now dead)

-Yes, Pilita speaks perfect Spanish. She's my close friend.

You can see her speaking Spanish fluently towards the end of this Youtube clip:

Nacionalidad española
¿Podrían aclararme si Pilita Corrales y Garrido mantiene la nacionalidad española? Supongo que sí tendrá esa nacionalidad, además de la filipina, por cuanto es hija de española, lo que hace automáticamente que también ella los sea, aunque haya nacido en el extranjero, en este caso Cebú, Filipinas. Saludos. He utilizado su nombre según las normas españolas, aplicables en todo el mundo hispánico, incluso en Filipinas, Marianas (Guaján también) Carolinas y Palaos hasta los años 1930 aproximadamente. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ayeri2003 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
