TITA PILITA’S Grandchild, RIKKI MAE Davao Shares Cute & Funny STORIES About Their Iconic MAMITA…

As tributes continue to pour in for the late Pilita Corrales, one of the most touching moments came from her beloved granddaughter Rikki Mae Davao, who recently opened up about the unforgettable memories she shared with her iconic “Mamita.”

In a heartfelt video posted on social media, Rikki Mae didn’t just mourn the loss — she celebrated the life of the woman the world knew as the Asia’s Queen of Songs, but whom she fondly called Mamita. And in true Corrales fashion, the stories she shared were equal parts hilarious, charming, and unforgettable.

One of the fan-favorite moments was when Rikki recalled how Pilita, ever the diva even at home, would walk around the house in full makeup and heels, even when there were no guests. “She said, ‘You never know who might show up!’” Rikki laughed. “Even the mailman deserves a show!”

She also shared how Pilita once scolded her for singing off-key, only to dramatically demonstrate the “correct” version in full operatic voice — echoing through the entire neighborhood. “Mamita didn’t believe in auto-tune. She believed in projection!”

But it wasn’t all glamour and laughter. Rikki Mae also spoke tenderly about Pilita’s soft heart — how she would secretly slip extra allowance into her grandkids’ bags, or how she’d light candles and pray quietly for each member of the family, no matter how busy life got.

Fans around the world were moved by the tribute, with many saying Rikki Mae’s stories added a beautiful human layer to the already legendary legacy of Pilita Corrales.

“She wasn’t just a superstar to us,” Rikki concluded. “She was our rock, our light, and yes — our fabulous, funny, fiercely loving Mamita.”

The stories serve as a reminder that behind the voice that ruled the stage for decades was a grandmother who laughed, loved, and lived every moment with heart and flair.
