Namayapa sa edad na 87, ang kontribusyon ni Pilita Corrales sa Philippine entertainment industry at maayos na trato sa mga nakakasalamuha niya ay mananatili sa alaala ng kanyang mga naiwan.
Napatunayan daw ito ng apo ni Pilita na si Ara Davao, 27, sa dami ng nakikiramay sa kanilang pamilya.
Si Ara, o Arabella, ay bunso sa tatlong anak nila Jackie Lou Blanco at Ricky Davao. Ang mga kapatid niya ay sina Rikki Mae at Kenneth.

Napanood siya sa seryeng FPJ’s Batang Quiapo ng ABS CBN, at kasama ngayon sa pelikulang Fatherland.
Nakapanayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) si Ara sa burol ng kanyang Mamita, sa Heritage Memorial Park sa Taguig, noong April 14 2025.
Lahad ni Ara, “Ang daming nagpo-post na, ‘When I was new in the business…’ Ang dami niyang wine-welcome with no questions.
Pagbabalik-tanaw pa ni Ara, isa sa binigyan ng lakas ng loob at suporta ni Pilita ay si Moira dela Torre, na nag-opening act daw noon sa shows.
“Si Moira, I did this music video a couple of years ago. Tapos sabi niya, ‘Oh my gosh, anak ka pala ni Ms. Jackie!’
“At that time, parang nagpo-front act pa lang si Moira. Like she did the opening act. Di pa siya, like, Moira na sold-out yung shows niya, nag-i-start pa lang.
“Parang one time daw, my lola approached her, ‘One day you will have your own audience.’
“Nung opening niya, feeling ni Moira wala masyadong nakikinig. Never niyang nakalimutan yung sinabi sa kanya [ni Mamita].”
Sabay tukoy ni Ara sa narating na tagumpay ni Moira, “Look at her now.”
Ilan sa mga kilalang kanta ni Moira ay ang “Paubaya,” “Titibo-Tibo,” at “Malaya.”
Ang kabutihan daw ng kanyang lola ang tatatak para kay Ara.
“She’s one of the legends na malaking kawalan, pero not just her songs ang mami-miss natin.
“Tingin ko kasi, we still have her songs.
“Mami-miss natin yung heart niya, yung generosity niya sa bawat tao na nami-meet niya.”
“Sobrang gracious niya. Positive energy siya. Feeling ko, pag may problem siya, di niya pinapa-feel sa amin.”
CLOSENESS TO PILITA CORRALES
Malapit daw si Ara kay Pilita.
Paglalarawan niya sa close ties ng kanilang pamilya: “Kami kasing cousins, we’re very close.
“So, every Sunday, we tried to see Mamita kahit we’re not complete, basta sinumang available.
“Very meaningful na yun sa kanya. Basta makita niya lang kami, happy na siya.
“Like, we’re eating lang sa house niya, laughing, watching TV, kuwentuhan, update.”
Tinanong din namin ang aktres kung gaano ka-proud sa kanya si Pilita nang magdesisyon siyang pasukin na rin ang showbiz.
“I think kaming cousins naman, kahit anong gawin namin, like graduation sa school, presentation, hanggang sa nag-showbiz, basta support siya. Like, anything we want do.”
WHAT ARA EMULATES FROM PILITA
Para kay Ara Davao, ang professionalism ni Pilita ang natutunan niya.
“I think nakuha ko yung she’s always on time. Sabi niya, ‘I never want people to wait for me even if I will wait for them.’
“I think I’m proud to say I’m always on time naman.”
Sa huli, ang mensahe ni Ara para sa Mamita niya: “Siguro kasi di ako type na ma-‘I love you.’
“Sana I could say, ‘I love you and thank you for everything. We will miss you and thank you for being our light.’”
