Social media is in an uproar after the Gutierrez family was seen hosting a lavish celebration mere hours after the funeral of music icon Pilita Corrales, who is considered a national treasure and a trailblazer in the Philippine entertainment industry.

Photos and videos that quickly went viral showed members of the celebrity clan dressed in glamorous outfits, dancing, laughing, and enjoying what appeared to be a full-blown party, complete with music, champagne, and luxurious décor. This came as a complete shock to many, especially since the late Pilita Corrales was a respected figure in the family and the entertainment world.

“There was no sign of mourning. It felt like a red carpet event, not a post-funeral gathering,” commented one netizen.

The backlash online has been swift and intense. Thousands of Filipinos took to social media to express their outrage, calling the celebration “distasteful,” “tone-deaf,” and “utterly disrespectful” to the memory of Pilita Corrales.

Some fans defended the family, saying it might have been a celebration of life, not a party. However, others were not convinced, especially given the timing and extravagant nature of the event.

As of now, the Gutierrez family has yet to release an official statement addressing the controversy.
