You might wanna ask Jaya how to connect with Ms Pilita Corrales. She is like a mom to her.

That Pilita Corrales feature friday would be very interesting to watch if that happens...... We love Pilita here in the Philippines. She was Jayas first manager and like a 2nd mother, Elizabeth and Pilita are best of friends. Try reaching to Jaya she might have some connections to her. Love love your family.

I agree with Waleska. I was born in the Philippines back in the 90s and Latin American music was prevalent up until my generation growing up in early 2000s. I grew up singing and dancing to the songs of Ricky Martin, J.Lo, Shakira, and even Thalia. It was about 2010-ish that KPop started to get popular in the Philippines.

Filipinos ALWAYS EXPECT her to sing Spanish songs. OBSERVE her body movements while performing. That's her TRADEMARK. Hips swaying and bending side to side. Most POSSIBLE persons to relay your intention of meeting Pilita would be JAYA or GARY VALENCIANO.

She was also married to someone from Paraguay for many years and would do shows & concerts together. His name was Amado del Paraguay. They ended up splitting up after many, many years together as he went back to Paraguay. He's passed away several years back. Our concerts were with him & Pilita doing duets while he played his classic flamenco guitar.

Every filipino kid, even without a hint of spanish blood, knows this song. Uncles love to sing this while drunk 🤣

Ask Jaya to help you get connected to her. Pilita Corrales was the one who introduced Jaya to Philippine music industry. Or maybe thru Gary Valenciano her co judge in Pilipinas got talent

I think Spanish was her first language at home. She’s half Spanish.

The Philippines was connected to Mexico for governance instead of Spain and they had a galleon trade for 300yrs until US came in.

MENUDO was also famous here in the Philippines...and so many LATIN AMERICAN singers...like Julio Iglesias, his son Enrique Iglesias has Filipino blood, Bruno Mars also has Filipino blood, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, Selena, Gloria Estefan and many more...Cebu was one of the few islands discovered by Spanish explorers in 1521...so Christianity started in the Philippines during this times too...majority of the people here are Roman Catholics...and yes Cebuano dialect has a lot of words which are originally Spanish...Spanish Language was still a part of university/college subjects even in the early 1990s...and some INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE MAJORS still have Spanish classes included in their curriculum...even our family names are usually in Spanish like de la Cruz, Reyes, Cruz, Trinidad, San Juan, Herrera, Montebon, Ledesma and many more...and so with our arts and culture is also having been inspired and influenced by Spanish style...we were under the Spanish colony for 333 years until Americans came here after the Spanish-American war...so after that Filipinos learned American-English system...they also introduced the public school system and also helped us our government system too...Thank you Waleska for featuring our brilliant Filipino Talents...because of you vlogs we became known to the world even if our country is not that huge but we are people who really take MUSIC as part of our LIFE...

remember Jaya mentioning her! Jaya is a direct connection to Ms Pelita! go go go for the Feature Friday with her!

Efra she's one of the judges along with Gary,Charice(if I'm not mistaken)..when KZ T auditioned for...search and discover how lovable she is!

wow, that will be more exciting if they have Ms Pilita Corales as guest...I can't wait☺️👏

Pilita is Spanish! ☺️ She was born and raised in the Philippines and grew up speaking Spanish and Cebuano :)

Spanish was still compulsory taught in Philippine Schools until the late 80s until all important documents in the country were all translated in english that Spanish was abolished in all schools. But with the recent boom in the BPO call center industry, some of the younger generation are now attending spanish language schools to get better chances of getting hired for bilingual jobs in BPOs.

Please listen to CARINÒSA in Spanish by Pilita Corales, es genial me encanta muchisima si ustedes escucharlo 😊

When I was in Legazpi City, Philippines 🇵🇭, there was a Sunday radio program that plays all Spanish songs. The DJ also was speaking in Spanish. It so good to listen to the music.

i’m not too sure but my grandma once mentioned in passing how pilita has full hispanic ancestry but her family are naturalized filipino citizens, hence her looks. apparently, her ancestors were immigrants who moved to the philippines during mid-spanish colonization period and her first language is actually spanish.

If you want to contact “Asia’s Queen of Songs” Ms. Pilita Corrales, try the messenger and get in touch with entrepreneur/author/musician from Paraguay Don Batuto Puroite - Pilita’s best friend and business partner - now based in the Philippines - this gentleman can probably arrange you an exclusive virtual interview with the ever beautiful and ageless Filipino entertainer. 🤗

Hey guys! I love that you’ve been featuring Pilita lately. She is one of my mom’s favorites and had gone to one of her shows with my mom. And it was fantastic! She is a great entertainer! Pilita comes from an elite, wealthy of Spanish descent family. Spanish was at least when my parents were in school was part of the curriculum and manadatory. My mom speaks more spanish than me! Great vibes guys! 🥰

Spanish curriculum in Philippines education system: not just in the 80’s but I’m sure all the time up until the 80’s or even 90’s until it started to dwindle down. I left the Phils in ‘83 and all my siblings went to schools that required Spanish in HS. Poveda (Teresiana) comes to mind, as possibly a school that had Spanish all throughout the school years, I could be wrong. Remember also that back then up until that time and it may still be the same this day, private schools are combined primary secondary and college in some cases. Or elementary high school and college. My school was one. Waleska the Spanish culture is well rooted in the Philippines. So really the songs and culture is still prevalent now but it’s always been, not just in the 70, 80, 90’s. I think Filipinos have become more nationalistic after the Marcos regime in the 80’s so Filipino and Tagalog is much more used now versus during my time in the 80’s and before when it was more common to speak English (and a little bit of Spanish). The millenials and later generation are embracing our own “Filipino” -ness. Ps. I was born and raised in Metro Manila, not in Cebu. Exclusive schools are mostly in the city. Cebu in general is considered a province.

One of my Mother's favorite song. She sang that when I was small 1970's...in my country Philippines. I sang that too. Thanks much guys for appreciating.

She also lived in Spain. Performed in Las Vegas too. Most filipinos were fluent in english n spanish. My grandparents spoke castellano fluently. Me hablo español tambien, naci en zamboanga city y yo se chavacano.

Spanish songs are very popular in the Philippines, imagine those people dancing zumba in our bario with reggaeton music on it. And got LSS afterwards

Hi Wale & Efra, Please try to check on The History of the Philippines in 12 minutes, that during the Spanish Colonization of the Philippines, you can find that during the Galleon Trade between Acapulco, Mexico and Manila, many Mexican families migrated and settled in Cebu, Manila and other parts of the country.😍

Regine Velasques and Dulcie singing Shirley Bassey’s hit🙏🙏

1976, when I was in 1st year college in the Philippines, i had to take Spanish subjects in order to complete my 4-year course.. one Spanish subject every semester for 2 years..

I honestly would forward reactions and watch the videos people would feature in YT. But for you guys, it's the other way around. I always love to forward and go directly to the part where you react. It's educational and so fresh, and so real. I always like how you pour out your heart in your reactions. Thank you. Love you guys!

She had a weekly TV Program in 1965 - 1972 An Evening With Pilita . A very good singer with goodsense of humor. She speaks several languages.....

Every time I watch your reaction videos, I'm not actually focused on listening the singers singing specific songs but on your amazing comments as always... You see that people that never been in the PH but seems to know a lot of things in PH so amazing 😍😍😍 keep going our Latin Brothers and Sisters (Latinos always say that Pinoy's are their Brothers and Sisters in Asia)

Please react to Pilita Corrales singing Carinosa in Spanish and Rosas Pandan in Spanish..Love you two..Thanks

My grandfather is fluent in Espanol. That's how he and his Amigos converse whenever they get together. My older sister still had Spanish in her curriculum when she went to college in early 90's. Enrique Iglesias is half Filipino.

OhMyGod!! This song is one of my mama’s favorite song. I remember she always sing this at home while cooking haha. Oooohhh! Those days..now I want to go home(Philippines) to hug my Mama💙

When I was 4th year High School I had Spanish subject (that was 1989). The following year the Spanish subject was demolished.

We love to see you converse with Pilita.. It will be fun

I had Spanish class in high school for 4 yrs, then 4 yrs Spanish in college. I can basically understand the language and can speak it but I had to think first to translate to speak.

Pilita Corrales was the SUPERSTAR SINGER ( Famous & in demand singer ) during her Prime Time...(And, till now - She's still in demand if, she wants to - don't forget her age)....She's a Spanish Messtiza...

Spanish was removed from the curriculum in early 90's. I graduated in 1991 and we are the last batch who had Spanish subjects in college, I think the last one, Spanish 4 was in 1990. We had 4 semesters of Spanish. And I really loved it. I had a Spanish grammar book. Our teacher was so strictl, we had to speak Spanish only in her classes. I intended to master the language but sadly almost forgotten much of it 😊 I hope it will be revived, even just an elective subject, considering that in today's globalized environment, Spanish is still one of the most spoken languages in the world along with English.

Pilita Corrales, cantante y actriz filipina que abraza todas las culturas con las que nació. Fluido en filipino, cebuano, inglés y español. Esta dama no tiene pretensiones. Sin aires. Sin complejo de superioridad. Ella todavía es amada hasta el día de hoy.

Besame mucho is still being played in our province, specially in events or gatherings with a live band.

Jaya can connect you to her.

Pilita Corrales's ancestors were from Spain. But she's born in the Philippines grew up in Cebu with a naturalized Filipino citizen Spanish parents. She's still good at speaking Spanish. You might interview her.

I finished 12 units of Castilian Spanish. 3 units every semester. We were thought how to sing Spanish. I performed Quizaz, Quisaz Quisaz!!

We wish you guys can guest Ms. Pilita Corales in your podcast. So exciting if you guys talk in your own language.

Because of my father, I grew up listening & singing along with Besame Mucho, Volare, Spain & others. Before K-Wave, Spanish has been part of our lives from drama, movie, artists, songs.

When i was in grade school,I was a member of drum and lyre corps in our school..this song besame mucho is one of our piece for competition,and i can say that we played it amazing,while our majorettes are dancing..😍Back when in 1995.. Until now,some of our oldies sing this song at videoke..and they always nailed it..dont know why..😁😍🇵🇭

Year 70’S when Spanish subject abolish English subject in school curriculum, I got Spanish 1& Spanish 2 when I was in college..and Spanish 3 and Spanish 4 a part of a basic subject.

pilita. national treasure!

Spanish is included in our College curriculum during the 60's up to the 80's it's a must to take it during our college days.

If you do podcast on ms pilita i will watch it for sure

Pilita Corrales is actually came from the generation of Spaniards who came to Philippines in 1521. Both her parents are Spanish who were born in Cebu, she grew up in Cebu that's why she is fluent in the local Cebuano dialect and she is very fluent Spanish (she speaks fluent Spanish than Tagalog). The Visayan islands is home to a lot of Spanish mestizos who still some speak fluent Spanish. Broken Spanish was once spoken in the province of Cavite and Zamboang hence the dialect "Chavacano". I almost had Spanish class back when I was still in college, but it was abolished from the curriculum before the start of the semester in my first year. 😊

I love you guys. both of you always compliment each other's attire. nice :) Love from the Philippines.

I ADMIRED PILITA SINCE I WAS IN MY TEENS IN THE 90'S. A GREAT SINGER FROM PHPHPH! SHE IS OF SPANISH DECENT. HER CHILDREN ARE ACTORS IN THE PHPHPH.

Actually there are still schools here with spanish subject in the curriculum 🙂

She started singing in the 1950's in the Philippines! She's also a Radio personality and an actress!

Spanish and Mexican songs we're popular here in the Philippines because of Mexican telenovelas. Thalia's shows like Rosalinda and Mari Mar were especially popular. Some kids from the late 90s even knows some of the OSTs by heart.

I was told by my father, that way back in 50's mostly in private high schools it's a prerequisite to take at least foreign language as a subject. Spanish, Arabic depending what the school is offering

The Philippines is ruled by Spain for 333 years. Most of the Governor-General during those times are from South America

Thank you, Waleska. Ms. Plilita is indeed a Philippine treasure. Hi Efra, we love you.

We took two years of Spanish at the university and it was Castilian language of the elite in Spain.

plita never stops

Pilita Coral called Asia Queen of Song because She win as a Champion of Asia Song Festival held in other Country

Aayy Efra! Que guapo!

Pilita corales is a wonderful woman....hope u can interview her...shes very pleasant...

Spanish was part of the curriculum in the schools in the Philippines back then 2 years in high school and another 2 years in college.

I am watching without skipping ads.

She is a pure spanish. Remember Jaya said it in your podcast

Ms. Pilita Corales is an Asias Queen of Song

Back in the old days, speaking Spanish in the Philippines was a social symbol. It is a subtle way of showing off to everyone that you are an "illustrado", an enlightened one.

Wishing you to interview Pilita Corrales she is very versatile artist.....music..,TV.....movie.....etc....

Freddie Fender was also popular here in the Philippines in particular spanish version of "Before the next teardrop fall"
